Modern society is built on the embers of yesterday’s world. The stories of the past are what further those in the present and move leaders to shaping a better world. It is in history that the fingerprint of existence can be found.
Established to promote appreciation for the past and raise literacy levels, SeriousPensPublishing leverages the power of fiction and introduces a compelling spin on world history.
An emerging publication company, SeriousPensPublishing, was launched by the visionary author and social studies teacher Paul C. Darden. Having developed a love for the written word at an early age, Paul grew inspired to spread his passion to those around him – resolving to mold his impact when he saw a glaring gap in primary education.
“I was motivated by the lack of culturally diverse books in the classroom,” he shared. “There are too many watered-down books and the lack of historical books that tell history other than American history in the classroom.”
He decided to change that. Picking up his pen, Paul C. Darden threw himself into work and in-depth research. Investing his knowledge of history and society as an educator, he made his authorial debut.
The Time Runners Series is a modern-day classic that dives into the adventures of Duante Elliot, a young boy from The Bronx. The series draws parallels from Paul’s experience growing up in the area and his hurdles in life. Raised by a single mother who grappled to make ends meet, the author crawled his way out of an impoverished household through hard work and continuous learning.
His protagonist also carries Paul’s fair share of struggles – such that Duante, like the inspirational creative, journeyed beyond familiar sights in search of greener pastures. In the first book, Freedom Runner, the young boy mysteriously vanishes while on a trip with his friends and discovers a destiny that’ll leave him running.
Well-written, exciting, and topped with informative, relatable themes, Freedom Runner is a veritable must-read. Since SeriousPensPublishing unveiled it, the hailed literature masterpiece has captivated a global audience and swept millions into a whirlwind adventure they’re compelled to follow.
To satisfy their clamor for more, Paul has readied the next leg of Duante’s journey in Rise of The Runners, but this time, the driven character’s destination is back home. Back in The Bronx, Duante Elliot must confront past demons and seek the light on the other side of the tunnel.
As the Time Runners series instills a love for literature and history worldwide, Paul C. Darden is driven to expand his influence. Educating within the classroom walls and beyond, the brilliant author has several works underway. Generating excitement on social channels is The Expectancy Vision, the first of five in The Oneirology Chronicles.
SeriousPensPublishing has also teased the release of Frozen Sands. As it is imbued with the same purpose as its published library, the book is crafted with traces of historical facts and reality that bring a well-rounded, inclusive perspective into focus.
