Peter sometimes feels like a teenage boy trapped in an older man’s body. And his response is to write.
Occasionally his creativity comes out as angsty teenage poetry, but usually delightful fictional tales of wonder and imagination emerge.
These short stories and novels are what his teenage self daydreamed about: adventure, intrigue, making a difference…and someone special to share it with.
Young Adult Fiction
These stories range from contemporary to light fantasy and sci-fi, to allegorical speculative fiction. But all feature teenage girls and guys—young women and men—navigating life and seeking to find their purpose in a world that doesn’t always make sense.
The result is can’t-put-it-down young adult and new adult fiction.
Discover these faith friendly tales about ordinary people who make a meaningful difference in their world. Read their engaging stories about believable people who face real issues in a world that doesn’t always make sense.
Immerse yourself in page-turning fun without the fluff—or the offensive content.
First Up: YA Speculative Fiction
The Next High Priest Series is a near-world speculative fiction adventure in a world just like our own. . . only different. It is sure to capture your imagination and delight your senses.
Here’s the pitch:
Emma isn’t a typical teenager. Who in their right mind would spend hours studying the Holy Text? Who has the audacity to presume they can connect with the Sovereign?
Yet she must try.
She will implore the Almighty to send them the High Priest her people so desperately need, the one who will restore balance to an out-of-control world.
And if she died trying?
Then so be it.
The Next High Priest Series features page-turning novella-length books to keep you engaged and reading into the night.
Enjoy realistic reads for the spiritually minded who don’t want religion shoved down their throats, while at the same time not having to worry about blushing at the content of too many other of today’s books.
Peter DeHaan walks the line between tired Christian clichés you’ve read too often and explicit content you’d just as soon never read again.
The result is books too unconventional for Christian publishers but too spiritual for the general market.
This is where the YA fiction of Peter DeHaan fits in—or more correctly, where it doesn’t.
Can’t-Put-It-Down Books
Want gripping stories with strong female characters—girls you want to be and who the guys want to be with? Read about real issues you and your friends face every day? Plus a bit more? Then look no further.
Of course, you don’t want to gag on simple solutions to complex problems, either. No worries. Not going to happen here. We’ll skip the stuff that’s too slick and totally lame. For reals.
Check out the girl-powered YA fiction in Peter’s upcoming series, Ice Creamed.
Meet Brianna, the dashing but shy Nicky, and her growing list of friends—and enemies.
Here’s how it starts:
Brianna Turner had known Nicholas Brower since kindergarten, and ever since fourth grade she dreamed of knowing him better. She fantasized about their first date, planned their wedding, and picked names for their two kids, but she wasn’t sure if he even knew who she was.
Maybe the first step should be talking, but so far, he had never said one word to her. Not one. Love sucks.
Then a fatal car accident threatens to ruin it all, squashing the hope for romance before it can even sprout. Will Brianna find true love, or will her secret crush end up behind bars?
