Meet Our Authors! Hi friends! Andy here, and I’m putting my publisher hat on for this one. I want to spotlight the folks who make Red Racer Books… well, Red Racer Books.

So I made one myself, launched it on Kickstarter, and just kept going. Fast-forward to today: Kat’s Magic Helmet was featured in...

Update from the Founder, Andy - Hello from Charlotte NC! Hi everyone! It’s been a while since my last email and that’s because we’ve had some big changes on the home front! I’m writing this from our new home in a suburb 20 minutes outside Charlotte, North Carolina. If I’ve been quiet, it’s because we were getting our Miami home ready to sell (countless showings), and once it sold we drove straight (okay… with a Disney pit stop) to Charlotte to house-hunt. Exhausting few months, but we’re...
