About the Author & Family

Brian grew up in Central Texas and always had a love for reading. His love for knowledge and exploration made books like "The Boxcar Children" come alive for him, and after spending years studying computer coding, cheese making, brick laying, blacksmith, tree harvesting, hydroponics, and so much more, he decided he'd also create a Boxcar Children inspired series for his own children. So they can see the adventures of exploring their homestead through his eyes. And hopefully, just like him, never fully grow up.

In 2019, he had an opportunity to move his family to 3 acres in Central Texas, where he started homesteading and homeschooling. Quickly, the family ran out of space and wanted to move to more land, with East Texas offering this opportunity... In 2023, his family was blessed with the opportunity to purchase acreage with a home for their family to move to. "The Homestead Kids" begin their journey at that turning point. Imagining what could be possible, the family begins to explore and learn about their new property.

The family raises dairy cattle, sheep, goats, turkeys, egg hens, boiler chickens, rabbits and pigs on an ongoing basis, along with gardening. The family enjoys activities such as canning, sewing, crafting, building, soapmaking, cheesemaking and so much more. Moving to East Texas will afford the opportunity to cultivate these skills and share those with others.

Brian originally used ChatGPT to create bedtime stories about his kids, and being inspired by his daughter's reactions to those stories, he started writing (without the help of ChatGPT) and it grew into a book series that will be keepsakes for the family for years to come. With a goal of writing more books each year, the Combs' kids will have wonderful keepsakes to look back on. I hope the memories they make growing up homesteading are as heartwarming and memorable as the memories we have of them everyday.
