Dr. Block

I think Minecraft is the greatest game in the history of the world, and so did my two children who literally begged me to write Minecraft stories for them when they were young. That is why I have dedicated my life to writing Minecraft-inspired books to share with everyone!

For readers under 9, I recommend the first nine books of my Baby Zeke the Chicken Jockey series, my Mob Mania Tales, the Peter and the Player's Palace series, and my three-book Spider Chicken series as well as Creeptastic, A Notchmas Carol, and most of my standalone books.

For readers ages 9+, I recommend all of my other books, including the Diary of a Surfer Villager, Ballad of Winston the Wandering Trader, and Glitch Guardians series.
