You’ve lived through decades of change. You’ve served, travelled, raised families, built careers, overcome challenges. Those stories – YOUR stories – are slipping away with every year that passes.
Your grandchildren don’t want to inherit boxes of unsorted photos. They want to know who you really were. What you survived. What made you laugh. What you believed in.
Red Lodge Publications offers memoir publishing UK families trust to turn your life into a professionally published book – not a vanity project, not an amateur photobook, but a REAL BOOK they can hold, read, and pass down.
J T Owens had written crime stories for years – characters, plots, and settings developed over decades. These stories deserved to be more than notebooks on a shelf.
Working with Red Lodge Publications, J T Owens published three gripping crime novels set in post-war Britain:
All three books are available on Amazon. She has won three international awards in 2024 & 2025 with her first book. Readers are discovering them. Family members have copies. The stories that lived in notebooks for years are now in the world.
“I never thought I’d see these stories as real books. Now they’re on Amazon and readers are connecting with them.” – J T Owens
In 1995, Sophie left her comfortable life in London to join a 3-month expedition to Belize. She survived encounters with barracuda, shared a basha with a tarantula, and navigated venomous snakes in the jungle. But this was more than an adventure – it was a journey of transformation.
Belize & Beyond: One woman’s journey from self-doubt to self-discovery became a published travel memoir that captures not just the adventure, but the profound personal change that comes from stepping outside your comfort zone.
Now available on Amazon, Belize & Beyond has reached readers worldwide who connect with Sophie’s journey from self-doubt to self-discovery.
“This book helped me capture not just the adventure, but the transformation. It’s reached readers who’ve connected with the journey of finding yourself.” – Sophie Moran

You don't need to be. We interview you, record your stories, and turn your spoken words into written chapters. You approve everything.
Your grandchildren disagree. They want to know what school was like in the 1950s, how you met Grandma/Grandad, what the war was like. Those "ordinary" details are extraordinary to them.
This is YOUR memoir - your perspective, your truth. We handle this sensitively and you
have final approval on every word.
Absolutely. We'll review what you've written and help you complete and publish it.
