The final touches on our new Paul Edwards biography, A Life of the Mind, are being made. The author, Gregory Edwards (Paul’s son), will sign copies of the new book during our JWHA Conference on Friday, September 25th, starting at 11:30am.

Another one of our recent authors will attend the JWHA Conference: Matthew Bolton will give our Richard P. Howard Lecture on Thursday, September 24th, at 7pm. Following the lecture, during the evening reception, he will sign copies of his 2nd edition biography of Charles Neff, From Militarized Mission to Global Solidarity.

It’s been an honor to help produce these two additions to our biography series. I encourage everyone to support these titles and our entire catalog by buying print or digital copies.


JWHA was represented at this year’s Mormon History Association Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition to selling some books, we reconnected with a lot of old friends, made a few new ones, and invited everyone to attend JWHA’s upcoming 2026 conference in Council Bluffs.

We will also have a table at Sunstone in Salt Lake City this year, from July 30th through August 1st. If you’re attending Sunstone, be sure to stop by and say hello!
