Junk in the Trunk author Dr. Geoff Goodman initially published this book as Daddy’s Secret Cedar Chest in 2013. As a result of the publisher stopping printing, Geoff approached Liz Walker to ask for her assistance in republishing. 

With the help of children’s author Ali Stegert, Daddy’s Secret Cedar Chest went through the editing process. Wordsmithing included the addition of an iPad alongside the magazines in the trunk, giving new life to the original to reflect the current realities of children’s porn discovery. Subsequently, complete with new graphics, Junk in the Trunk continues to be the only children’s book of its kind.
