In those select stories, he’s donned the pen name R.E.V. The nickname is derived from Bohne’s experience becoming an ordained minister online -- he has the laminated certificate to prove it. Yes, that means he can actually officiate at weddings and conduct funerals if he wanted to though he has yet to do so.

Why write under different names? Well, Bohne has decided to not pigeonhole his writings into one specific genre, but he’s aware that the charming stories and artwork found in his children’s books are a stark contrast to his other works which delve into haunted houses, strange creatures, a Wiccan priestess, noir fiction and finding love with the help of a “Dead Being.”

The 35-year-old author has been writing stories ever since he took a creative class many, many years ago. Today, he writes scenes to his stories in random intervals, eventually piecing them back together to make a cohesive story.

Finding the time to do that is where things start to get tricky. Although he prefers to write detailed novels and short stories, the children’s books gives Bohne the ability to think outside the box and dish out condensed and simplified stories. They also allow him to keep up on his writing.

“Once I have an idea, I can build on it and have something done quickly,” said Bohne.
