Every flock has one…

The one who wanders beyond the fence…

The one with a story no one else can tell…

And sometimes, that story changes everything.

Today is full of yesterdays and tomorrows

We believe in the power of the unique voice, the untold story, and the uncharted journey.

We specialize in narratives of those who stand out — the rebels, the dreamers, the ones who dare to be different. Fictional journeys that inspire and connect with readers who seek something beyond the every day.

Featured Unherd Voices

The storytellers who dare to share what others keep hidden

Becky Brower Osborne

Author

At 18 months old, Becky contracted spinal meningitis which left her severely hearing impaired. Despite that challenge, she graduated from Miami University and worked several years as a tech analyst for GE and later as a small business executive. While raising two daughters she started a major community service effort in her city. In 2015 she received a Cochlear Implant to restore her hearing and now advocates for and supports the CI community. Married to Steve Osborne since 1993, she currently divides her time between writing, genealogy research, and being present for her family and friends.

J Steven Osborne

Author

Steve is a successful tech entrepreneur, sales trainer, commercial real estate investor, and professional speaker in a career that has spanned over 30 years. His combination of wit, substance, irreverent humor, and exceptional story-telling skills have made him an audience favorite. He graduated with degrees from Miami University and Embry-Riddle University. Steve and his wife Becky are the parents of two grown daughters. He is one of the few people who has produced content which has won an Emmy, and another which was banned on six continents.

Devan B. Deyerin

Author

From third through eighth grade, Devan was homeschooled. His first writing assignment was to mimic a book from the Beast Quest series, his favorite at the time. Devan loved this assignment and has been an avid writer ever since. Over the pandemic Devan and his mom Kara started writing together to explore Devan's story idea, and what started as a friendly challenge became much more. They each wrote a chapter, combined them, and loved the outcome. When not writing together, Devan loves painting Warhammer figurines, and staring at critters under a microscope.
