Some stories are underestimated.
I believe those are often the stories we need most.
For almost twenty years I’ve watched memoir cross languages, connect strangers, and change lives. True stories, well told, still matter—especially the ones the industry underestimates. That conviction became Shake Ridge Press.
Three ways into your story.
Whether you want to write it, publish it, or simply read a story well told — there’s a door here for you.
Everything Memoir

Stories worth telling.
Selected books & films
Holy Disruptor
Amy Duggar King, with Susy Flory, tells the unfiltered story of breaking free from manipulation, reclaiming an authentic voice, and disrupting toxic cycles with truth.
Thunder Dog
A blind man, his guide dog, and the triumph of trust at Ground Zero.
The Unbreakable Boy
A father, a son with a rare brittle-bone disease, and a joy that breaks nothing.
Sanctuary
An Irish village, a man who lost his way, and the rescue donkeys that led him home.
The Sky Below
Astronaut Scott Parazynski — the only person to fly in space and summit Everest.
My mom was an Irish storyteller.
“Books are my first language. I live and breathe words and stories.”
I grew up listening to her stories about the Ozarks — sometimes a wee bit embellished — holding my breath, waiting for the mountaintop moment. It always came. I inherited the storytelling gene, but with ink and paper.
Everyone has a story. I’m looking forward to hearing yours.
