Welcome to the official site of best-selling author Homer Hickam.
We appreciate the millions of readers who enjoyed Homer's classic memoir
Rocket Boys/October Sky and his three other Coalwood books and have
now become fans of the page-turning
Josh Thurlow World War II historical
fiction novels.
Among Homer's latest books is
My Dream of Stars, the memoir of space-flyer Anousheh Ansari,
Red Helmet, a story of romance and mystery in today's Appalachian coalfields, and
The Dinosaur Hunter, a paleontological mystery set in the fossil grounds of Montana.

Special Note to Parents, Grandparents, and Teachers! Crater,
Crescent, and
Lunar Rescue Company, Homer's newest releases, are exciting Young Adult novels set on the moon 120 years in the future. Many Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) teachers are having their classes read these delightful novels that tell stories of young men and women on the future moon. To help get young people 10-18 involved with stories of space, science, that also include such ideas as honor, duty, and responsibility, these novels are the perfect gift. We promise that the young people (and adults) in your family will love these tales of adventure into the depths of space. For more and how to order them, click on the covers of
Lunar Rescue Company,

Crescent, the trilogy of novels in the Helium-3 series!
