Publish the stories
Showcase novels, author updates, behind-the-scenes notes, chapter materials, and creative projects without being trapped in a page builder.
JSM Cooperative begins with The Man in the Ball Cap, a dark mystery set in A Coruña, Spain. Follow private investigator Pepe Miguel as a dangerous case leads into secrets, occult rituals, and a race to stop the next killing.
The Cooperative model
Every reader who buys, shares, subscribes, or donates becomes part of the loop: books create attention, attention builds community, and community helps fuel nonprofit-aligned work.
What we are building
JSM Cooperative exists to prove that stories can do more than entertain. They can gather readers, move resources, and support the nonprofit-aligned work our community believes in.
Showcase novels, author updates, behind-the-scenes notes, chapter materials, and creative projects without being trapped in a page builder.
Connect book sales, donations, subscriptions, and community campaigns to mission-aligned impact.
Build a reader-powered community path where updates, giving, storytelling, and nonprofit support move together.
Debut Novel
In the coastal city of A Coruña, private investigator Pepe Miguel is drawn into a mystery where old symbols, hidden motives, and buried histories begin to surface.
The Man in the Ball Cap is the creative anchor for JSM Cooperative’s first major impact campaign — a story that invites readers into both a mystery and a mission.
Ongoing Fundraiser
The Camino is our reader-powered path: a monthly subscription campaign that turns books, signed copies, community updates, and giving into recurring impact.
First month: receive a signed copy. Every month after: choose someone special to receive one.
