Niantic Books is a veteran-owned family of small businesses based in Central Illinois. From yard cards to AI automation β€” we build things that work.

Who We Are

We're Fred and Jill Book, based in Niantic, IL. Fred's a disabled Army veteran who spent 24 years in IT before deciding to build something of his own. Jill brings the sparkle β€” literally β€” with Glitter the Ground. Together with our son Kobe, we run a small cluster of businesses that we actually care about.
