I’m Patrick Wilson—a Christian middle-grade author, dad, and faith-builder who still believes in the power of a good story. Especially the kind that speaks to the heart and points kids toward something lasting.

The BUG Boys: The Great Scavenger Hunt is my debut middle-grade adventure and the first book in the Brothers Under God series. It’s designed to meet kids right where they are—with humor, heart, and a message of truth they can carry with them. This faith-based story follows three boys on a small-town scavenger hunt that leads them into something far deeper than they expected: friendship, forgiveness, and the reminder that God meets us even when we’re not looking.

My writing is shaped by a love for Jesus, a passion for storytelling, and a desire to reach the next generation with faith-filled fiction that feels real—not preachy or perfect, but honest, engaging, and grounded in hope.

When I’m not writing, I spend most of my time with my adult children and working as a full-time caregiver for my adult daughter, who inspires much of how I approach writing with compassion and clarity.
