Mr. Eric R Oberst

Eric Oberst lives in South Florida with his wife and two children. The series The Adventures of Caroline began with The Time Machine, a short story that introduced Caroline, the characters, and the storyline.  

Now, with three volumes in the series and a complete Emerald Collection set, we are official! The Emerald Dragon dives much deeper into Caroline’s adventures, and really gets the series off the ground. The Quest for the Emerald Whistle finishes the three-volume set, and sets the stage for the Ruby Collection set beginning with volume four, The Return of Fraenir.

I always like to say that writing is seldom anyone’s primary profession unless it can support itself.  However, it is so much more rewarding to have the time to work on these stories with my children.  I enjoy experiencing their excitement as the project develops into actual words and illustrations on real pages they can hold in their hands, especially now that three volumes are in print and a fourth is on the way.  I also believe that the release of a Spanish translation has broadened my children’s horizons, further enticing them to learn the language.  I hope it helps spread the story and inspires young kids everywhere.

The catalyst for a healthy imagination must start somewhere; my hope is that they will get much more out of this project than I put into it.
