Welcome to Gunga Peas Books. We publish fiction and nonfiction eBooks by author Dr. Jacqueline Grant about the people and places of the Caribbean and Latin America. Our nonfiction Reference Shelf series helps teachers and homeschooling parents bring Caribbean subjects into their school rooms. Visit our Reference Shelf Titles page to learn more about the books.

Our eBooks tell stories about important themes of these regions, but sometimes a story that is not about the Caribbean just begs to be written, so we write those too. If you have an eBook reader you can start reading our eBooks right now. Check out our Caribbean fiction page and our non-Caribbean page to see what’s new. Find us through Smashwords.com, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.com to begin reading Gunga Peas Books on your Kindle, Nook, or other eBook reader. Our books are even available through iTunes digital downloads. Don’t have an eBook? That’s all right. You can download our books directly to your computer through Smashwords (see above).

We work hard to post interesting and well-researched information about the Caribbean on our blog page. We have maps (we’re working on adding more), as well as interesting timelines also available free as pdf documents (send us an email if you would like to receive a copy of a timeline.) Timelines and maps can be found on our About the Caribbean page. We would love it if teachers and parents see this as a site where their children can find reliable information about the Caribbean.

Jacqueline grew up on the Caribbean island of Jamaica. She was one of those children who always had her nose in a book so it makes sense that her favorite thing to do is tell stories about the regions she is most passionate about – the Caribbean and Latin America. Gunga Peas Books is her way of sharing those stories with you. We hope you love reading our books as much as we love writing them. In fact we would love to hear from you (especially teachers – please tell us what we can do to help you bring the Caribbean into your classrooms) so please visit our blog page tell us what you think.

Dr. Jacqueline Grant
