Press Release:
Faith, Fish, and a Record
Worth Reeling In

Author Lance Nevis believes records are meant to be broken—not out of ego, but out of faith. With six children’s books already casting ripples across hearts, his newest release, Fish Story, just might swim into history beside the timeless Green Eggs and Ham.
Nevis doesn’t see Dr. Seuss as competition—he sees him as inspiration. “Dr. Seuss inspired joy through rhyme and imagination,” Nevis says. “I just believe that, with God, imagination has no ceiling.” Fish Story hooks into a universal truth: fishermen love a good tale. Imagine if every angler in the world reeled in a copy—and then another for their kids and grandkids—the ripple could grow into a global wave of joy, unity, and hope.
What makes Nevis’s vision unique isn’t just his storytelling, but his purpose. If every one of his six books found a home, he’d use the blessings not for fame or fortune, but for the greater good—to uplift others, inspire kindness, and pour the profits into helping families, children, and communities in need.
“Dr. Seuss inspired joy through rhyme and imagination,” he adds, “and I hope to inspire joy through faith and purpose—through stories that reach beyond entertainment into transformation. The goal isn’t to take the crown; it’s to expand the kingdom of imagination and compassion. I’m not here to stand above another artist; I’m here to stand beside them—to carry the torch farther through love, faith, and generosity.”
“With God, nothing is impossible,” Nevis says. “Faith turns small ripples into oceans. Gratitude keeps the current flowing.”
From the laughter of a child to the quiet peace of a fisherman at dawn, Fish Story reminds us that we are all connected—by water, by words, and by wonder. And maybe, just maybe, that’s how a simple story could one day outshine even the brightest classic—not by outdoing it, but by out loving it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Children's Book
​
I actually met the author in Merlin, OREGON post office. This is a great children's book story with the Grants Pass, OR bridge on the front of the book! This is the honest truth... & thus not a "fish" story from me! Thus, I whole heartily recommend this book, indeed!

Got this and a few other books from this author at a local faire in town. A Delightful Read, Rhymes and All!
Oh, what a treat, these books you'll find,
From a local author, one of a kind!
With rhymes so sweet and a positive gleam,
They're like Dr. Seuss, a wonderful dream!
The tales are well-written, a joy to behold,
With messages charming, both brave and bold.
Your little ones surely, by week's end, it's true,
Will have every last lyrical line memorized too!
From older works to what's shiny and new,
The art is just beautiful, through and through.
So grab these books, for a smile and a cheer,
The best kind of magic, to banish all fear!

This is a very thought out book. Author also included pictures for coloring about mid way through. I ordered three for my grandsons and they loved it. He has several other books. I highly recommend. Read his bio about how he has the name Big Red Chicken.

Once again this book is beautifully done. He continues to raise awareness about Autism. We read the books to our little nieces and they loved it. The bonus coloring book in the back is great.

Lance continues to raise awareness of autism with his books! I'm hopeful his work will make a big contribution.
My kids loved this cute story about a boy getting his very first bow and arrows. At the end there are pages for kids to color in as well. A great book!

The Big Red Chicken brings us a book dedicated to his nephew and autism. Large print and great illustrations, this book seems to be ideal for a strong first grader. Added bonus to the book, is a coloring section.
After having my grandson read The Knight, we will be proudly donating it to his school.
Big Red Chicken, we look forward to your next book.

Lance has poured his heart and soul into these books to inspire imagination, restore hope, and raise awareness of the challenges brought on by Autism. We need more authors with such lofty goals.
