j.m. gulmire’s books

All Books are Available on Amazon

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to Wanda Luthman’s Christian and Children’s Book Blog!

Today, I have an entertaining author to share with you. He’s J.M. Gulmire and above is his headshot that he created for himself out of Claymatian which is one of his many hobbies. You’ll see his Claymatian in action down below.

Today, he’s here to tell us about all of his best selling, hit children’s books…

“I wouldn’t have started writing if the elves in my gingerbread house didn’t beg for them. The story requests started as a joke, but then, they kept coming and my brain sparkled.

“Write about a crazy vacuum!”

“I want one about a robot dog…”

“How about a monster on a camping trip?”

The more I caught words in my fishing net and set them on a page, the more excited I was. I didn’t even realize what I was writing at first. I just knew there were worlds within our little world. Of course, the monster in my basement is my biggest critic, but my dog is a pretty good editor (at least that’s what the fairies in the attic say).

After querying agents for about a decade or so, I realized that maybe these books needed their own fairy godfather. My first book, “A Vacuum for my Birthday?!” definitely needed some wings. It was so different and very hyper.

It was based on a joke I play on the elves each year when their birthdays roll around. They always beg to know what present they’re getting. To tease them I always say “A vacuum cleaner.”

This sparked my first release where Samantha, an 8 year old girl who is about to turn 9, begs to know what her present is. Her mom says, “A vacuum cleaner.” She spends the week before her party imagining robot vacuums, monster vacuums, and more.

It’s a story unlike any other, which inspired me to use my love of claymation to create little cartoon shorts to promote it.

Then, when the elves demanded I get my robot dog book out, I knew what to do. I whipped up some dog treats, wrapped the pages in a magical coller, and POOF! Soon I had my second release.

“Kay-9 The Root Dog” is all about a boy who can’t have a dog, so he makes one out of recycled parts. This story hit #1 in new releases on Amazon giving me the oomph I needed to prepare my third book for the world.

Sculpting Kay-9, was my favorite part of promoting this book, well, that and watching my dog read the book with a big smile on his giant face.

My latest release, “Monster Camping Trip,” came out this spring and also hit bestseller status.

But unlike my first two books, this story follows a girl with a big family as they hit the road for a camping trip and find something in the woods. It’s all about adventure, exploration, and new discoveries. It’s based on my absolute love of nature and all the creatures lurking in the shadows. Making the claymation trailer was out of this world.

It’s been a great journey, and I have a bajillion more books coming to fulfill some wishes. These include my next project, an epic toad-venture that I’m hoping to release next year with longer claymation cartoons that could maybe resemble some kind of awesome mini-movie. Hopefully — If the monster in my basement behaves.”

Wow! Thank you, J.M. for sharing not only your awesome books with us today but your incredible talent with claymation!
