B.C. wrote the Greyson Gray Series to give today's children a real-to-life hero who is worthy of admiration - one who searches for truth, fights for justice, and dares to do good no matter the costs. Along with Greyson, B.C. added lovable characters with signature humor and a deep plot that grows with its characters both emotionally and intellectually. He believes modern readers are longing for powerful new stories that are both clean and exciting without any dumbing down.

He has a background in film, and many readers notice how his novels read like an action movie (and would make an amazing TV mini-series someday.) Just like a movie director, he prefers to stay behind the scenes; though he has greatly appreciated how many readers have fell

I wrote the books for a secular audience so that any reader would enjoy the clean (yet intense) adventure without feeling the author was preaching. The first book doesn't mention Christianity - but it does have an emphasis on standing up for what is good and right - no matter the costs (something everyone can root for).

That being said, the main character does encounter Christian elements as the series progresses. It isn't forced, and the conclusions he draws are those any real-life junior-higher may come to. When he is given a tiny Bible to keep in his fanny pack, he takes months to crack it open - and when he does, it's as confusing as it is intriguing. Then, it takes time for him to question it, doubt it, and test its lessons in the real world - the world that has hurled him into battles of survival, taken much of what he has loved, and caused great suffering. In a NATURAL way then, the reader sees how Greyson both challenges the words he reads and is challenged BY them.

After the fourth book, Greyson is still scrawling the debts he owes others into the little Bible's table of contents. While many Christian books may have neat and tidy lessons, Greyson's journey is messy and - I would argue - genuine. And so is his world. It's just as if the books are a snapshot of real junior-higher's life, including off-color humor (at a public school junior high level), some violence (like what they may see at a PG-13 movie), romance (like at an awkward dance), and discussion of faith (like they may hear at youth group, church, or the dinner table).

Of all the challenges Greyson faces in the series, religion is just one. If a reader wants to call it "Christian" because of this particular challenge, then that's fine. I've worked at a youth group with many kids like Greyson who have examined Christian teachings, and I've seen many different outcomes. In the end I'm hoping Greyson's struggle serves as an example to all kids - to search for what is right, what is true, and then to hold onto it no matter the consequences.

Camp Legend by B.C. Tweedt
“Greyson held the walkie-talkie up to his mouth, still watching the small view in the mirror.  He had hid the other walkie-talkie under Jarryd’s bed in the ‘on’ position.  He held the ‘talk’ button and the walkie clicked. “Hello, twins! I’m Paul Newton!” The voice and light screams echoed from down the hall, coming from Jarryd and Nick’s room. Greyson smiled, watching the mirror as the physical trainer dropped his magazine and turned toward Nick and Jarryd’s room to his right. He put the walkie to his mouth.  “If you find this, hide it!” The physical trainer stood up and sped straight”

Camp Legend by B.C. Tweedt
“flew toward them with the goal hanging over it. He glanced in front and the bridge-opening suddenly engulfed them, Dancer barreling between the metal rails and its hooves hitting wood. VrrrrOOOOOMMMMM! The SUV’s front bumper slammed the narrow bridge’s metal railings, snapping the bolts and curling the steel on both sides of the horse. Greyson felt the engine’s heat on his back and grimaced, bracing for impact. But then it happened – the goal’s net snagged the edge of the bridge rail and pulled the metal frame down like a clamp around the hood; the front wheels dug into the bridge and stopped, but the back of the vehicle carried the momentum and swung over top, the rear wheels spinning loudly as they pointed toward the falling rain. The speed carried the huge metal beast over the net and flung it at the children from behind. Dancer leapt from the bridge just as the SUV struck it like a colossal pendulum, exploding in a cluster bomb of splinters and a tidal wave of water. The shockwave ...more B.C. Tweedt

Camp Legend by B.C. Tweedt
“Anyone else?” Brandon burst in.
“Go Red!” Sammy yelled. Brandon turned to him, confused. “You mean, Gold?” “No, I like red better. Or red and white!” “What? Why?” “I know!” Jarryd yelled as he raised his hand. “Because red and white make pink. And pink is hot.” “No,” Sammy stated. “Becauthe red and white are the colorth of dead unicornth.” Brandon raised both hands in the air. “Whoa! What? Why? No one wants to be like a dead unicorn.” “I wish I was a dead unicorn.”

“I have to go, and you have to let me, son.” His father paused, and a coy smirk formed on his lips. “I dare you.” Greyson looked up, tears in his eyes, his lips quivering. “I dare you to let me go. If you do, you get the prize.” His legs felt weak. He wanted to scream, ‘No!’ and clutch at his dad’s legs like he used to when he was young. But he couldn’t anymore. He was older”

“Nick has to give me a sponge-bath first.”  Brandon bent over with tired laughter.  “Now that would be brotherly love, if I’ve ever seen it.” Nick came through the doorway, a wet rag in his left hand, a red bucket in his right.  A bath towel was thrown over his right shoulder. Brandon’s mouth dropped open.  “Wait.  You were serious?” Jarryd gave him the thumbs up without moving his sore head.”
