Stories that spark curiosity, courage, and connection

Thompson Story Studio creates stories across many genres — whimsical children’s stories, environmental adventures, Lake Gaston mysteries, heartwarming character-driven fiction, and quiet works of spiritual inspiration. Every project reflects our belief that stories can spark imagination, deepen reflection, and bring joy to readers of every age.

Our work also serves a greater purpose: all proceeds from our books help provide meals to families in need through local charities. Each story is crafted with care — and each one helps strengthen the community we call home.

For early readers and read-aloud nights

Oakley the Acorn, Twinkle, The Magic Lotus Lantern, The Magic of Imagination, and Jeremy and His Magic Glasses are written for the small humans who ask big questions — the ones who want to know why acorns grow, why stars shine, and why the world looks different through a fresh pair of eyes. Each picture book is paced for read-aloud bedtimes and gentle classroom mornings.

Environmental adventures for STEM-ready kids

The Small Hands, Big Changes series introduces young readers to environmental stewardship through stories rooted in real science. Each book pairs an imaginative adventure with classroom-friendly questions, activities, and prompts — built to spark conversations about habitats, watersheds, and the small actions that grow into big change.

Reflective MYSTERIES for older readers

The Lake Gaston short‑story series follows the quiet pull of secrets beneath still water and wooded shoreline. Each book offers just over a hundred pages of atmosphere, character, and lingering suspense — the kind that settles in like a porch light burning too late, a boat slipping through dusk, or a question that waits in the dark until it’s ready to be answered. Designed for the rhythm of lake life, these stories are long enough to lose yourself in yet perfectly sized to finish during a rainy afternoon, a shaded break from the heat, or a few peaceful hours on the dock. They’re crafted for readers who want a complete, immersive experience without giving up their whole vacation.

Spiritual and Inspirational fiction for older readers

Our spiritual novels trace the hard-earned path toward renewal — stories shaped by faith tested, hope rebuilt, and the quiet strength that rises after loss. These books are written for readers who seek meaning in the struggle: a prayer whispered in uncertainty, a promise held through trial, and a journey that leads toward peace one step at a time.

Character-driven fiction

Our character‑centered novels explore the quiet transformations that shape a life — from Otis’s gruff, reluctant softening to Jack’s journey through wonder, wisdom, and the company of five unforgettable princes. These stories are written for readers who treasure gentle humor, heartfelt growth, and the kind of tale that lingers long after the last page is turned.
