Meet Bobby Ladue's Creator
The author grew up believing that the best adventures rarely happened on television—they happened outside. Long summer days were spent exploring the woods, building forts, riding bikes, and turning ordinary places into extraordinary worlds.
Those childhood adventures inspired the Bobby Ladue series, a collection of stories filled with mystery, friendship, humor, and imagination. Drawing from the timeless traditions of small-town life, the books celebrate the values of courage, kindness, curiosity, and loyalty while taking readers on unforgettable adventures.
When not writing, the author enjoys spending time with family, exploring the outdoors, and dreaming up new mysteries for Bobby and his friends to solve in Soggy Bottom.
The hope is that every Bobby Ladue story encourages children to put down their screens, explore the world around them, and discover that the greatest adventures often begin with good friends and a little imagination.
About Bobby
Bobby Ladue is a curious nine-year-old adventurer who lives in the small town of Soggy Bottom. Whether he's exploring the woods, solving mysteries with his friends, or uncovering secrets hidden in places no one else dares to look, Bobby is always ready for the next adventure.
Along with his best friends Mickey, Oliver, and Murphy, Bobby spends his days at The Fort, their treehouse headquarters deep in the woods, planning expeditions, following clues, and discovering that courage, friendship, and doing the right thing matter more than being the biggest or strongest.
When trouble appears in Soggy Bottom, Bobby is usually the first to investigate. Sometimes that gets him into trouble. But it also leads to unforgettable adventures.
Welcome to Bobby's world. Adventure is waiting.
