Weston, aka Waffle, Haldiman created the Brecfeist book series in 2024 while he was in the third grade.  He released a handful of books during his third and fourth grade years, but in the summer and fall of 2025 really ramped up his focus on the series, and now has 18 completed books and is actively working on book 19 as of December 6, 2025.

Weston created this book series to bring joy to young readers, and because he simply loves to draw and tell stories.  He brings his books to school every day, places them on display, and other students grab them and read them for fun throughout their day.  He has accomplished his goal of bringing joy to young readers and wants to extend his reach to the world, which is why he and his dad, Sausage, created this website and a related YouTube channel.

Weston has always been a prolific artist and is extremely passionate about art of all types, including drawing (usually with markers), creating clay figurines, and creating characters using character builders in other video games (such as Spore).  In addition to creating his own characters and stories, he enjoys replicating video game or TV show characters and creating hybrid characters between different video games / TV shows / his own creations.  

Some of his favorite characters to recplicate include the Hollow Knight video game series, Mario Brothers, and the television series Adventure Time.

Weston is 10 years old, in the fifth grade, and has a younger brother Landon in the third grade, aged 8.  His parents are Tom and Lindsey Haldiman.
