Garry Gonce
Author, Princess Raven's Papa
The Princess Raven Series by Garry Gonce is written in honor of his granddaughter who won her fight with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia!
The "real" Raven showed the world how to tackle challenges by her inner-strength, joy, and even curiosity.
These books are designed to help other children facing similar challenges and include drawings that children may use their powerful imaginations to color.
Flint Hills Publishing is sad to announce the unexpected passing of Garry in the spring of 2024. Garry and his wife of 32 years, Linda, and his daughters, sons, and grandchildren are a very tight-knit family. We send them our condolences and are honored to have helped Garry achieve his dream of becoming a published author. His goal was to bring joy to children going through cancer treatment. He donated many books to hospitalized children. He will be greatly missed.
Life in Princess Raven’s kingdom was wonderful. She shared a deep love with her family and friends.
She had a beautiful home, in a castle, of course! And she spent many hours playing outdoors with her beloved horse and other woodland friends.
But, as the princess was soon to learn, life often presents unexpected challenges.
Understanding the power of friendship, Princess Raven and her friends set out to help others in need. And who would think a big, strong dragon would need their help?
Like Princess Raven, Brian the Dragon has faced adversity in his young life. Until he met Raven and her friends, he was sad and lonely and afraid.
With the love and encouragement of the princess, Brian can become who he truly is meant to be!
Princess Raven Proves that Love Can Overcome Anger. When Princess Raven and her friends meet a lonely, little, blind alligator, they are upset to learn he is being bullied by his big, mean, angry cousin.
Princess Raven is not happy with the mean cousin's behavior and is determined to teach him how to release his anger and replace it with kindness and love.
Princess Raven’s dreams come true. While on her travels, Princess Raven and her animal friends encounter a prince from a neighboring kingdom. But, despite his riches, the young prince’s life it not without difficulties.
Princess Raven and Prince Maverick understand that challenges only help us grow, and that love can overcome any hurt.
