Steven Bohls lived in Utah, Idaho, Georgia, and Washington while growing up. He served an LDS mission in Mongolia, where he learned to speak arguably the coolest-sounding language around and defeat every opponent in LDS "I ate gross food on my mission" bingo. He attended Brigham Young University, graduating in 2013 with a wife and a daughter. He got another daughter along the way. He added a master's degree in business to his degree collection and has no intention of ever using it. Steven spends his days thinking of stories and trying to decide the best way to install a stained glass ceiling in his future castle. He's also excellent at video games, Magic the Gathering, and proving to Jackie that yes, you can paint intentional rust spots on a refrigerator and have them stick, just like you can artistically Dremel right into the drywall and have it turn out fabulously. Just for kicks, he started a fine art business last year. Check it out at veiledresin.com or on any of his socials with the same name. He may not be any good at posting on his personal social accounts, but he's slightly — only slightly — better at posting on his Veiled Resin ones.
Jackie Bohls was raised in Roosevelt, Utah, amidst the cows and aliens of the Uintah Basin. She graduated from high school in 2005 and headed off to Brigham Young University in Provo. While there, she double majored in journalism and history and minored in political science and editing. After working for five years at the Deseret News, she added a master's degree and a third minor to her educational collection (M.Ed and English) and made a career change to teaching. She taught at Mountain View High School in Orem, Utah, from 2015-2020, before retiring to write alongside Steven and raise her kids. She and Steven met and married in 2017, which resulted in one class of 10th graders sliding through Term 2 with minimal essay grading effort right at the height of wedding planning. You're welcome, kids.
Scarlett Bohls is 15 years old and ready to be a star. She's two years into an obsession with musical theater and works every day to climb that musical theater ladder, starring as Flounder in "The Little Mermaid Jr.", Spot Conlon in "Newsies Jr.," and Wednesday Addams in "The Addams Family Jr." She wants to make money so she can spend money, go to every Taylor Swift concert in the world, and hang out with friends all the time.
Olivia Bohls wants to be an author. Unless she's feeling like being a gymnast that day. Or a professional YouTuber. Or a teacher. Or a dog groomer who paints dogs crazy colors for holidays. Either way, she'll probably get distracted by being a very bad goose in Untitled Goose Game. She has a wicked imagination, embraces her 13-year-old dark sense of humor, and lives up to her Pottermore identity as a Slytherin in every way.
Jack Apollo Bohls is named after his great-grandfather, Jack Notestine, and the coolest space program in history (thus far). He's also a toddler, so his interests are simple and few: Paw Patrol, ice cream, Thomas the Tank Engine, and PJ Masks. He's scared of pretty much every Disney movie villain, but he'll happily sit down and watch dragons battle it out in "How to Train Your Dragon." Make it make sense.
Darius Bohls is the type of kid all youngest children are "supposed" to be: he thrives on chaos, picks fights all the time, and smiles proudly once his brother is crying. He's got an angelic face and demonic intentions. But in between all that, he loves Disney princesses and can be heard shout-singing "Let It Go" at least 24/7. He's much less scared of Disney villains than his older brother.
Icarus Bohls is a punk. She sits down statue-still at the sight of any incoming dog, which makes dog owners coo with delight at her excellent behavior, but it's actually just her assuming the kill position. She will try to eat any dog that is smaller than her, or any dog that is bigger than her but just fluffy or happy enough to signal weakness. She is beautiful and she knows it, and like any Shiba, is obsessed with food and ignoring everything she is told to do.
