The Town of Hollen: A Fictional Place That Feels Like Home
Hollen is the kind of small town kids love to imagine—cafés, creeks, and cozy streets inspired by 1970s Minnesota life. It’s the heart of The BUG Boys and a setting that makes adventure feel like home.
Pointing Kids to Jesus Without Getting Preachy
Kids know when faith feels real. In The BUG Boys, I wrote a Christian middle grade adventure that points kids to Jesus without getting preachy. Scripture clues, honest questions, and friendship shape the boys’ choices and show faith in everyday moments.
Why Boys Need Faith-Filled Adventure Stories
When I couldn’t find any Christian books for boys, I set out to write one for my son. That idea became The BUG Boys—a middle-grade adventure series that combines faith, friendship, and fun while pointing kids to Jesus.
