Husband and wife Jerry and Stephanie Jaeger love working together to introduce readers to the magical world of Zndaria. While working as a special agent for the FBI, Jerry began imagining and writing about the world of Zndaria. He soon brought Stephanie onboard and they teamed up as J.S. Jaeger. As the parents of four children, they want to provide uplifting entertainment that is geared to middle-grade readers, yet enjoyable to all ages.

We choose to write middle grade because there are a lot of readers in that age group that are hungry for great books. When our daughter was eleven, she quickly read the middle grade level books available to her and was constantly searching for more. She was asking to read books like Twilight which I felt were too mature for that age.

Our books don't shy away from hard topics, but they're written on the middle grade level so readers can find age appropriate entertainment while also seeing that they can overcome the struggles that kids are facing earlier and earlier in life.

Thanks for asking!(less)

The Golden Wizard is the first book in our main series, Scrolls of Zndaria. The Dragon Slayer is the first book in our spin-off series of novellas, Short Scrolls of Zndaria, which parallel the adventures of our heroes in the main series. We are currently working on the second book in the main series and the second novella in the Short Scrolls series. I hope this clears up any confusion. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Although this book is written in journal form, it reads smoothly and more like a story. I was intrigued to learn about Martha Ballard and am glad her story was brought to light.
