Greg W. Golden

I became an avid reader in the 1st grade. By the 4th grade, I discovered the Hardy Boys books, and within two years, I read all that were available in print AND a neighbor's collection of Nancy Drew books. Hungry for more, at age 11, I wrote my own story using Frank, Joe, and the cast of characters created by Franklin W. Dixon in the 1920s.

The Bon Air Boys sprang from my childhood adventures growing up in mid-America during a safer and simpler time. Each book contains intrigue and mystery wrapped around wholesome, spiritual values--ones that apply to boys and girls today as much as they ever did. Foundational, timeless truths anchor the pages, which feature camaraderie, humor, tension, and good, clean fun!

A TENTH adventure is underway and is expected in June 2024! Follow us on Facebook (Bon Air Boys Books) to stay aware of any new developments.

All of these books are being read every day around the world. They are in the governor's mansion in Little Rock, Arkansas. They are in the home of John Grisham for his grandchildren when they come to visit. They are in South Africa, Japan, the Philippines, Spain, India, and many other countries. I personally guarantee them to be safe, wholesome, and edge-of-your-seat fun! Grandparents tell me they purchase them for their grandchildren and then "pre-read" them. They enjoy the fun and throwback stories they remember from their preteen years.
