S. Black is a father-daughter team writing stories somewhere between school runs, bedtime routines, and the occasional quiet moment. The name "S. Black" was chosen partly for privacy?because if the books don't sell, no one will know, and if they do, well... kids can be cruel, and no young child should have to deal with playground critiques from amateur book reviewers or questions from 6th graders like " Do Buffy & Calvin hook up??" .

Together, they've built a world of adventure, heart, and humor?often tested live during bedtime reading sessions. If a chapter earns silence, it stays. If it earns an eye-roll, it's back to the keyboard.

The goal? To write books with strong, thoughtful characters?ones that girls can look up to and boys can relate to. Stories that entertain, reflect real kids/teens/adults, and sometimes even start a good conversation.

And if it all turns out to be terrible? Well, maybe one day the younger half of this duo will rewrite them properly?and remember those bedtime stories as the start of something special.
