My life has taken many turns over the years with multiple interests. Taking the best of my talents and organizing them into Blue Coconut Publications and Blue Coconut Mercantile has created a business that allows me to showcase the talented family and friends that surround me.
Julie designed and makes the stuffed animals for Sheep In A Sweater Author Sets as well as the jewelry, bookmarks, etc. used for marketing the books published by Blue Coconut Publications.
RL Swigart
Author, Illustrator, Teacher, Dad, Husband, lives with dogs
I didn't start teaching until later in life. My early years were invested in farming until an injury required a life change which allowed me to obtain a goal I had of teaching. Creating educational and fun children's books allows me to reach more students than just the ones in my classroom.
Russ has written several children's books which will be republished under Blue Coconut publications.
- Shelby Swigart aka Asteria Graves

My life has taught me that I can do anything regardless of the hurtles that are thrown my way. My first book, Written in Bone, is just the beginning. I have many stories inside me that are bursting to come out. Watch for my future books you won't be disappointed.
Shelby's primary interests fall in the paranormal realm. But she also likes mysteries and ancient Egypt.

From my extensive travels, I have seen countless marvels throughout Europe and the United States. Those experiences have shaped me into who I am as a person and a writer. To have a taste of my travels and thoughts, check out my latest book of poetry, Cursed by a Gift.
