Meet Arden and Eva.
We started Tolt River Road Publishing to take control of our own published works and to offer services and advice to other authors on their journey to get their book published and made available to the world. We love telling our story and know that we can help others bring their ideas into print. That is the real joy of being in this business for us.
Arden D. Gremmert began his extensive publishing and marketing career in a simple way: He discovered his love of writing, reporting, photography, and editing as a staff member at his high school newspaper. The thrill of putting out a publication read by hundreds started him off right, and he eventually served as editor-in-chief.
In his first job after graduation, Arden began as a reporter and photographer, writing for a weekly newspaper and doing pre-production work. Old school layout, editing, and proofreading laid a strong foundation for decades of success in newspapers, magazines, advertising, and website publishing.
From this deep publishing base, Arden built an impressive career in the business world with many accomplishments in branding, promotion, trade shows, and various management positions.

Announcing that I have finished a book with the working title of “The Fairy Fort.” I am currently pitching it to publishers. Keep checking back to watch the progress of my newest novel.
Here is a quick glimpse of the story.
Sarah Doherty is an 18-year-old living in rural Ireland at the tail end of the Great War. Plagued by severe epilepsy, she is protected by her parents and lives a sheltered, secluded, lonely life. The Fae, local Irish fairies, interfere with her life. She falls forward a century in time through the local fairy fort of standing stones. She had a seizure in 1918 and woke up in 2020. The 21st century world includes life-saving prescriptions, physical comforts and the independence and freedom she seeks. The locals are welcoming and Andy Mclaughlin, a handsome young historian, is intriguing. She doesn’t want to return home.
Then a letter arrives from Boston divulging the story of Sarah and Andy’s lives that are deeply entwined in the previous century. They are not yet in love but as they seek to verify the letter through online resources, they feel a growing obligation to their unborn family and to each other. What would happen to their posterity living in Boston if they don’t return to 1918? Even if they do make it back, her parents can never know what happened to her or that would change everything.
This Young Adult time-travel romance explores the question: Do we have the freedom to make choices or is free will an elaborate illusion?
This is my third book. I love reading time travel romances. I am an advocate for epilepsy awareness because my 43-year-old son has intractable epilepsy. As a genealogist specializing in Irish research, I live part of the year in the village where the story is based. I wrote the book to help young adults understand that difficult situations can change your life. Sometimes miraculously.
