FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rochester, Minn., Jan. 10, 2026 —

Award‑winning author, illustrator, photographer and independent singer‑songwriter Lisa Loucks‑Christenson today announced the release of the third track from her forthcoming album Broken Sanctuary. While the full 13‑song collection is slated for a later launch, the new single has been reimagined in a range of heavy‑metal sub‑genres—including traditional heavy metal, progressive metal, folk‑metal, melodic‑death‑metal (clean‑vocal version) and atmospheric post‑metal—to reach listeners who favor powerful storytelling set to thunderous music.

Loucks‑Christenson said the album is “a raw, honest chronicle of the good, the bad and the ugly—beauty and ashes, a mixed tribute to God.” By pairing her deeply personal lyrics with the intensity of metal, she hopes to underscore the album’s core message: answers and blessings rise from pain, and God’s love endures even when homes and wildlife sanctuaries are under attack.

Personal inspiration behind the project
Years ago, while covering a Billy Graham event, Loucks‑Christenson witnessed a band called DC Talk perform their 1995 song “Jesus Freak” as one of the evening’s acts. That night marked three pivotal moments for her:

1. She accepted Jesus as her personal Savior.
2. She captured soul‑stirring photographs of Billy Graham that remain among her most treasured images.
3. She discovered a band whose sound resonated so deeply that, three decades later, it still beats in her heart and fuels the creation of songs meant to inspire.

Those experiences, combined with the harrowing journey of watching her husband battle aggressive cancer for a second time, led her and her family to lean heavily on their faith while living and working in their wildlife sanctuary. The resulting music reflects those “demon‑verses” moments and the steadfast hope that carried them through.

Highlights of the new single

• Heavy‑metal fusion – The track blends galloping traditional metal riffs, progressive odd‑time sections, folk‑metal acoustic textures and post‑metal atmospheric swells, capturing the turbulence of a threatened sanctuary while preserving moments of quiet reflection.
• Story‑song structure – Narrative verses recount the family’s real experiences; soaring choruses deliver anthemic declarations of divine protection, appealing to fans of lyrical storytelling across metal and Christian‑music circles.
• Dynamic production – Loucks‑Christenson layered multiple recordings to create vocal parts she did not perform herself, arranging, mixing and producing every instrument—from distorted guitars to field recordings of wildlife.
• Future fully sung releases – Although the current version mixes instrumental and partially sung passages, fully vocalized renditions of several songs will be issued later.
• Preview available now – Select tracks, including the newly released heavy‑metal single, can be streamed at https://archives.lisalc.com.

“This album is my life laid bare—every triumph, every trial, every scar on the land we love,” Loucks‑Christenson said. “Wrapping those stories in the fire and fury of metal lets listeners feel the same heartbeat of struggle and the steady pulse of God’s love that carried us through. This is as raw as it gets, and I’m grateful to share it with anyone walking a similar path.”

About Lisa Loucks‑Christenson
Based in Rochester, Minn., Loucks‑Christenson is an award‑winning author, illustrator and photographer who also writes, sings and produces music that blends faith‑based storytelling with diverse musical influences. Her commitment to environmental stewardship and spiritual resilience informs every note of Broken Sanctuary.

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.

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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Whitewater Falls, MN – December 20, 2025

Whitewater Falls: Eternity is right where it's always been™
Lisa Loucks-Christenson's Supernatural Wolves Saga

New covers feature wolves in the header for each season—unveiling soon. Lisa Loucks-Christenson Originals™ presents Wolves of Whitewater Falls, Loucks-Christenson's Supernatural Wolves World—reality and fiction Christian suspense—starting May 2026.

When NaNoWriMo ended early before November 2025, award-winning author, illustrator, wildlife photographer, and investigative reporter Lisa Loucks-Christenson gained freedom from the one-book-every-November mold for her Wolves of Whitewater Falls™ series. This liberated her to rapid-release multiple seasons in 2026 from her ORIGINAL series (13 NaNoWriMo Winners). The 16th book—first not part of NaNoWriMo challenge—spills into original streaming content produced in-house by Loucks-Christenson as 45-minute episodes (12-13/season).

Single-handedly managing her IP tightly, she sells exclusive through her own network and stores—why? After 29 books stolen and lost forever, "As creator, I want to know my readers' thoughts and ensure what I create isn't a free-for-all for others. I'll never earn from those 29."

Mid-May 2026: Dual timeline premiere—Historical Wolves of Whitewater Falls (1856, Annie Nolda's great-great-great grandmother) rips into her 2026 storyline. Lives shared over 170 years apart, like time travel, perfectly timed in Whitewater Falls: Eternity is right where it's always been™ as the Supernatural Wolves Saga unfolds between timelines.

Get on the mailing list to be notified or keep checking back for updates.

Strategically released only: Wolf Eyes Story Preview (cover award, international bestseller) and In Search of Spirit Wolf Episode One (bestseller, watercolor interiors). The Tremble Creek Tornado earned a cover award.
