Lisa Loucks‑Christenson Releases New Single “DANGLES”

Rochester, MN – Lisa Loucks‑Christenson Media Syndicate LLC announces the launch of “DANGLES,” a single now available directly from the artist’s media syndicate. The track blends Christian rock‑and‑roll, progressive metal, and breakbeat into a powerful mash‑up that delivers both spiritual resolve and raw emotional intensity.


Song Background

“DANGLES” was written, arranged, and produced entirely by Lisa Loucks‑Christenson during an exceptionally turbulent period:

  • Personal health crisis – Her husband was battling an aggressive form of cancer.
  • Legal battles – Property‑related disputes escalated into prolonged legal fights, adding stress and uncertainty.
  • Sanctuary devastation – A fence was torn apart and a shed was violently kicked in, destroying the safe space she had built.
  • Willow‑tree memorial – In the wildlife sanctuary she named for her sister, a willow tree had been planted as a living tribute. That tree, along with the rest of the sanctuary, was ripped apart by forces that had silenced her voice—until she poured everything into this song.
  • Loss of loved ones – Beloved pets were exhumed and cremated, and the ashes of her sister—kept beneath the willow—were disturbed.

Amid these hardships, Lisa turned to prayer, shedding “a thousand tears” while pleading to God for strength. She felt God directing her with His warring angels, guiding her through the storm. The resulting lyrics convey anguish, hope, and perseverance, inviting listeners to draw courage from the same words.


Cover Art

The single’s artwork was shot and designed by Lisa Loucks‑Christenson herself. The cover features a striking photograph of the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) glowing over her childhood home in Rochester, Minnesota—a visual metaphor for hope and illumination emerging from darkness.


About the Creator

Lisa Loucks‑Christenson is a best‑selling, award‑winning author, photographer, and illustrator as well as a singer‑songwriter and producer. Based in Rochester, Minnesota, she blends heartfelt Christian messaging with genre‑spanning musicality—from hard‑rock riffs to intricate progressive‑metal passages and contemporary breakbeat rhythms. “DANGLES” continues her mission to turn personal trials into a source of encouragement for others.


Artist Statement

“‘DANGLES’ is my testimony of holding on to faith when everything around me seemed to collapse. I wrote it in the darkest nights, hoping the music would become a beacon for anyone wrestling with loss, legal battles, or the destruction of a place that held deep spiritual meaning. The willow tree I planted for my sister in the sanctuary was ripped apart, and the forces that tried to silence me were finally given a voice through this song. Throughout the process I felt God directing me with His warring angels, protecting and guiding me. The Aurora over my old home captures the moment when hope breaks through the night. I plan to perform an extended version live, allowing the story to breathe even more.” – Lisa Loucks‑Christenson

The single is now available for download and streaming directly through Lisa Loucks‑Christenson Media Syndicate LLC. Press kits, high‑resolution artwork files, and interview requests can be made by contacting:

Lisa Loucks-Christenson Releases “Witness in the Dark” Prelude — Sets Stage for Full Performance

WHITEWATER FALLS, MN — January 3, 2026 — Award-winning author, artist, and composer Lisa Loucks-Christenson debuts “Witness in the Dark” Prelude — setting the stage for the full song she will perform in her forthcoming thriller The Other Dead Sister (Book 16: Wolves of Whitewater Falls).

Hear the Prelude:
https://cdn.shopify.com/videos/c/o/v/12ed061c4a8340a2a56da87dff195bec.mp4

Written, arranged, and produced by Loucks-Christenson, this atmospheric prelude captures the emotional depth and wolf lore of her Wolves of Whitewater Falls series. The full vocal performance by Lisa Loucks-Christenson releases later this year, expanding the haunting spoken-word and layered sound design into a cinematic experience.

Loucks-Christenson is reimagining her 16-book series as seasonal television adaptations — each book becoming a full season of standard-format television episodes personally adapted by the author. Audiobooks are under consideration, though Loucks-Christenson has dedicated all of 2026 to this multimedia expansion, including the Soul of a Cougar spin-off and Ghost Town Wolf Pack stories.

“The Wolves series was always meant for the screen,” Loucks-Christenson says. “Each episode will bring the wilderness, the wolves, and the human heart to life.”

Award-winning visual artist Loucks-Christenson (Don’t Eat Bees!) creates all Wolves of Whitewater Falls covers digitally, earning multiple cover design awards. In Search of Spirit Wolf (Episode One) and Wolf Eyes (Story Preview Edition) achieved #1 International Bestseller status on Amazon. The other books have not been released.

The “Witness in the Dark” full performance releases later this year with behind-the-scenes content and pre-order details for The Other Dead Sister (Book 16: Wolves of Whitewater Falls).


Prologue Teaser

Annie crouched in the moonlit clearing, breath fogging the December air. The black wolf watched from the fallen blue spruce, eyes like embers. Not aggressive. Protective. She’d felt it since her sister’s unexplained death five years back—the night the beast first appeared at the cabin’s edge.

“He knows,” she whispered to the dark. Whatever hunted her family, it was closing in.

Inspired by a real Thanksgiving night encounter — an intruder fleeing through Loucks-Christenson’s woods without a vehicle, his wolf-like stare piercing the cold.

Lisa Loucks-Christenson Completes Four Seasons Southeastern Minnesota Bugs Series with Fall Bugs on Winter Solstice

Lisa Loucks-Christenson Completes Four Seasons Southeastern Minnesota Bugs Series with Fall Bugs on Winter Solstice

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rochester, Minnesota – December 21, 2025

Lisa Loucks-Christenson Completes Four Seasons Southeastern Minnesota Bugs Series with Fall Bugs on Winter Solstice

Lisa Loucks-Christenson marked the precise transition from fall to winter by completing Fall Bugs, the fourth and final installment in her acclaimed Four Seasons Southeastern Minnesota Bugs Series. At exactly 9:02:59 a.m. CST—moments into Winter 2025, amid temperatures of 6°F and wind chills near -15°F—she captured the series' culminating image, a poignant metaphor for nature's cyclical journey.

The series originated with Winter Bugs, exhibited at the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, Minnesota, from the first day of winter through the exact minute of spring 2006. Over that period, Loucks-Christenson documented more than 200 species, including insects, spiders, beetles, water crustaceans, and more. The original Winter Bugs book and trading cards sold out rapidly; a second edition will release in 2026 to commemorate the 20th anniversary.

This project evolved as a companion documentary to her bestselling Walk The Burn, chronicling seven seasons in the ghost town of Beaver, Winona County—now part of the Whitewater Management Area. Later volumes were produced at the Laurie (Loucks) Burt Wildlife Sanctuary, a registered National Wildlife Federation refuge on her property, honoring her sister.

The complete Four Seasons Southeastern Minnesota Bugs Series is slated for release in 2026. Updates available at archives.lisalc.com.

Wildly Personable™ Christian Wildlife Show Launches in 2026, Seeking Guests Who Live Close to God’s Creation

Wildly Personable™ Christian Wildlife Show Launches in 2026, Seeking Guests Who Live Close to God’s Creation

Wildly Personable™ Christian Wildlife Show Launches in 2026, Seeking Guests Who Live Close to God’s Creation

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – December 13, 2025

Wildly Personable™ Christian Wildlife Show Launches in 2026, Seeking Guests Who Live Close to God’s Creation

Rochester, Minnesota – Best‑selling, award‑winning multimedia journalist, author, illustrator, photographer, and publisher Lisa Loucks‑Christenson announces the upcoming 2026 launch of Wildly Personable™, a Christian wildlife series born from her years of documenting the “faces and families” of animals on her own wildlife sanctuary. The show invites viewers into real outdoor stories where wild critters, faith, and stewardship meet.

Wildly Personable™ grew out of Lisa’s long‑term work transforming her land into a sanctuary and chronicling generations of raccoons, cardinals, white‑tailed deer, and other wildlife whose stories inspired her forthcoming art book series and this new show. Each episode blends up‑close wildlife encounters, story, prayer, and practical ways to care for God’s creation “from backyard to backcountry.”

Call for Guests: Outdoor Adventurers, Authors, Chefs, Pastors, and Experts

For its 2026 season, Wildly Personable™ is actively seeking guests whose work or calling intersects with the outdoors and creation care. Producers are especially interested in:

  • Outdoor adventure guests with real‑world field stories, expeditions, or family‑friendly experiences rooted in nature.

  • Authors who write about wildlife, outdoor life, conservation, homesteading, or faith in the outdoors.

  • A celebrity cooking/recipe segment featuring chefs or food creatives who bring an outdoor, campfire, or “from the land” focus to their dishes.

  • A pastoral or ministry segment with pastors, chaplains, or Christian leaders sharing Scripture‑based encouragement and prayer connected to God’s creation and daily life.

  • Natural resource and environmental experts who can speak clearly about habitat, stewardship, wildlife needs, and practical steps viewers can take where they live.

Wildly Personable™ aims to pair Lisa’s investigative storytelling with voices on the front lines of wildlife care, outdoor ministry, conservation, and family‑centered adventure. Segments may be filmed on Lisa’s sanctuary, on location, or in studio settings, depending on story and logistics.

About Wildly Personable™ and the “Faces and Family” Book

The show aligns with Lisa’s upcoming art book, WILDLY PERSONABLE: Faces and Family, ART BOOK, VOL. 1, which presents the actual critters—“faces and families”—she has met and documented over years in the field. These animals and their stories helped shape the heart of the series and its tagline, “Wild Family; True Faith™,” reflecting the bond between creation, Creator, and community.

Wildly Personable™ will debut in 2026 as a Christian outdoor series that brings viewers into the everyday miracles of wildlife, the realities of environmental pressures, and the hope found in faithful stewardship. The show is produced through Lisa Loucks‑Christenson Media Syndicate and connects with her broader body of wildlife documentaries, books, and exhibits.

Prospective guests, media, and ministry partners are invited to reach out now for 2026 consideration.

New Book Release Celebrates the Journey of a Monarch; Dolly: The Caterpillar I Knew in the Butterfly

New Book Release Celebrates the Journey of a Monarch; Dolly: The Caterpillar I Knew in the Butterfly

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ROCHESTER, MN (September 13, 2025) —

New Book Release Celebrates the Journey of a Monarch: Dolly: The Caterpillar I Knew in the Butterfly

Author, illustrator, and nature documentarian Lisa Loucks-Christenson announces her upcoming narrative nonfiction title, Dolly: The Caterpillar I Knew in the Butterfly, set for release in early 2026. This heartfelt companion to her acclaimed scientific work, Trio of Monarchs, offers an intimate memoir-style look at one remarkable monarch’s journey.

Unlike her detailed scientific documentation in Trio of Monarchs, Loucks-Christenson’s new book brings readers into a more personal world of observation and storytelling, where Dolly, a monarch from Rochester, Minnesota, becomes both subject and companion.

On Saturday, September 13, 2025, at precisely 17:00, Dolly completed her metamorphosis—emerging as a butterfly after forty-four days from egg to wing. Through tender storytelling and vivid illustrations, the book offers a personal glimpse into the wonder and resilience of this transformation, inviting readers to see the science of life wrapped in a narrative of hope, patience, and change.

Dolly is more than just the story of a monarch butterfly; it is a reflection on growth, perseverance, and the profound lessons nature provides when we pause to witness it.

This engaging narrative nonfiction is a perfect companion for readers of all ages who value the intersection of science, memoir, and the timeless beauty of the natural world.
