It has been a delight to work with Preston Orr on our book, Sasha Goes to Paris, inspired by the character’s of Skip Martin’s book, Morgan the Clydesdale Pony. I absolutely love witnessing the reactions of all who have been a part of our book tour presentations. There are so many boys and girls who identify with the struggles that Sasha experiences as she fulfills her dream. I look forward to sharing our presentation with you and your students!

Preston Orr is thrilled to join Gloryland Publishing, LLC in his literary and humanitarian pursuits. After obtaining degrees in opera performance from Vanderbilt University and Indiana University, he has led a diverse career, from premiering works of experimental art song theater to staging contemporary opera and musical theatre across the country. Working on Sasha has reinvigorated his lifelong love of writing, especially when coupled with the message of leaving one's home in pursuit of unrealized dreams. Having previously written the stage play The Star In Winter, he is currently working on a school musical of Sasha's story set to be premiered in 2023, and he looks forward to future writing with the Gloryland Publishing, LLC.
