Vree’s Beginnings Again, 1

This is an edited repost from my old blog Vree Erickson, in which I discussed some of Vree’s backstory. (Vree is a character that appears in many of my stories.) In the beginning, Vree lived on Myers Ridge in Ravenwood, Pennsylvania. I created Ravenwood when I was 13 and thought it was a cool spooky … Continue reading Vree’s Beginnings Again, 1

Re-Introducing Vree

A year ago this month, I began a blog called Vree Erickson. It was about a recurring main character from my years as an author of Fantasy/Sci-Fi stories. That blog preceded this one by three months.

There were no personal struggles in those stories that went beyond a weak pitcher trying to defeat a strong lineup of … Continue reading On Writing Stories

Being a Self-Published Author

Not that I never tried to become a published author in the traditional sense, but I’m too impatient to wait for something I can do myself.
