How to Draw a Jumboo Contest - Winner Announced

I'm thrilled to announce the winner of the first Draw a Jumboo Contest - Jackson Herrig! Jackson drew a creative and colorful peacock-jaguar hybrid and I loved the Mesoamerican headdress and weaponry. This character looks like he's ready to join a battle within the world of Jumbalot. Jackson will receive two signed hardcover copies of Journey to Jumblaot and also a $30 Amazon gift card. Congratulations, Jackson!

I'd also like to thank everyone that participated in this contest. I loved the creativity involved with each submission and it was difficult choosing a winner. Keep using your imagination to dream up amazing characters!

Readers' Favorite Book Awards Ceremony

By Ryan Wakefield • 01 Dec, 2023

It was a wonderful experience accepting my book’s gold medal on stage at the annual Readers’ Favorite Book Awards. Journey to Jumbalot won a gold medal within the preteen fantasy category last year, but I was unable to attend since my wife and I were both sick with pneumonia. I’d like to thank the event organizers at Readers’ Favorite for allowing me to accept my award this year on stage - it meant a lot to us both! We also attended the massive Miami Book Fair and enjoyed chatting with several fellow authors.
