About the Author 

Joel Chanaca

Joel Chanaca is a two-time Global Book Awards–winning author, recognized for his contributions to Humor and Heart and Hunter, the English Setter. A dedicated game warden with over twenty-five years of law enforcement experience, Joel has spent his career in public safety and wildlife law enforcement.

From an early age, Joel embraced adventure—camping, fishing, canoeing, and scuba diving—experiences that would later inspire his storytelling. His deep appreciation for nature has only grown through his work in natural resource protection, reinforcing his belief in the beauty and complexity of God’s creation.

“The elements of design are all around us. If we take the time to pause and look, we can see how God has made a place for us. More than just the wonders of the earth, His plan extends beyond the physical world. Through Christ, we are offered the ultimate gift of salvation—a sacrifice made so that He could prepare a place for us beyond what we can see.”

Joel’s vision is to create a class of superheroes built on character, teamwork, and faith-based core values, where light stands boldly against darkness. Rooted in memories of childhood wonder and the thrill of discovery, Frogman Puck invites readers to explore the mysteries beneath the surface, follow the clues of forgotten times, and rediscover the courage that comes from walking in the light.
