Rockin' Dog Studio's publishing imprint, rocndog Books, is already working with authors on its 2026 selections. We'll continue to add to this list—because there is more on the way! See below what we're able to announce so far...
A wide release of Rex Appeal2: This second edition of the real story of Sue and Stan—the most famous T. rex specimens ever—offers updated and expanded content (100 additional pages!) since the first edition more than 20 years ago. Our first printing is already available through Black Hills Institute—exclusively for its museum and science center clients—but we're gearing up for a wide distribution by rocndog Books.
Fun spy fiction: The second book in Marcia Mitchell's fiction series—featuring FBI agent and foodie Maggie Sachet!
More on tap... Two new authors, and possibly more, are working hard right now. Watch this space for details as they develop!
Rex Appeal2
The Real Story of Sue — Revised & Updated
Peter Larson & Kristin Donnan
From Library Journal
"Provides the personal, behind-the-scenes drama that only someone who lived it could provide. Highly recommended."
From The Denver Post
"Riveting. A highly readable adventure story. Tough, if not impossible, for fossil fans to put down."
“A riveting saga, tailor-made for the movies. Here is all the sweat and adventure of dinosaur collecting, along with fascinating scientific detective work that brings these old bones to life. Most of all, here is a gripping account of a horrific episode in American paleontology that should never be allowed to happen again.”
— Niles Eldredge, American Museum of Natural History
“Here at last is the story of the man who stood in the center of the unbelievable tornado of events surrounding Sue. A well-told saga worthy of the ancient Greeks, complete with the science behind the story.”
Dr. Philip J. Currie, Professor of Paleontology, University of Alberta in Edmonton

Dearly Departed
Second installment in the Maggie Sachet series
Marcia Mitchell
In this second book in a deftly crafted mystery series, Mitchell takes Maggie Sachet from Washington, DC, to Prague, St. Petersburg, and Los Angeles—as she searches for a double agent. Or is this elusive beauty just a Russian-born film star on the run? Or is she already dead? This story, like the others in the series, were vetted for accuracy by Mitchell's FBI advisors—agents who worked on her past real cases and contributed to her research.
