About John Cecca Books

Welcome to stories that stay with you! I write fun, fast-paced books for curious kids aged 9 and up—packed with adventure, imagination, and just the right challenge for growing readers. At the end of every book, you’ll find a glossary and interesting discussion questions to keep the conversation going. And whether you’re curled up at home, riding in the car, or on a beach somewhere, there’s an ebook and audiobook version to come along for the ride. Reading (and listening) has never been this fun!

Welcome to a space where words slow the rush of life. This collection of poetry and haiku drifts between the personal and the philosophical, sometimes venturing into the speculative. Accompanied at times by photographs and quiet observations, these pieces invite you to revisit places and moments you may have passed in a blur. Here, the poet offers strobing glimpses of regret, mistakes, and realization—snapshots of thought and emotion meant for quiet reflection and private enjoyment.

Orion’s Soulmates is a fast-paced speculative thriller where science, myth, and spirituality collide! When a brilliant archaeology student discovers a mysterious artifact in the jungles of Belize, her life takes a dramatic turn. Teaming up with a group of top scientists at Harvard, she uncovers a secret that powerful forces will do anything to suppress. From Boston to Area 51, Rome to Chennai, their quest unravels a hidden history that could change the world. Blending mystery, global adventure, and human connection, Orion’s Soulmates challenges everything we thought we knew about who we are—and where we come from.
