About the Author

Dr. Hunter Talen, is a fictional character that was born in either 1947 or 1625. He was raised by his globetrotting archaeologist father, G. Therer Talen, and his mother Katherine “Kat” Klause-Talen, who had been a singer in silent films. He was exposed to many of the great archaeological sites across 5 continents before the age of ten. He attended Der Spelunken Academy in Gestalt and studied under the world renowned explorer Dr. Heverford “Ever” Last, graduating with his PhD at 17. By 20 he had already done extensive work translating the runes of the Upper Tribes of Invisiline and published his findings on the secret rituals of the Gurl Skowtz in three best selling volumes, all to international acclaim.

Talen inspired countless field archaeologists with his works, and has been awarded a Pica Star by the Adventuring Fellowship out of Genova. He has earned three “Bom Diggity” awards and is a member of the exclusive Secret Adventurers Club and of the surprisingly less exclusive Top Secret Adventurers Club. He currently calls the outer rim of the Mauna Lisa volcano home and base of operations in between expeditions.

As an elementary teacher, I think Xander Nash: The Beginning of it All is a fun choice for Christian kids looking for an early chapter book series. Nine-year-old Xander's easy-going humor & love of exploring make him a likable character. In addition, the book provides parents with a springboard to introduce and discuss Bible stories with their children.
