Vanessa Ravencroft: Blog

The events in El Paso affected us personally and we are with friends and attend two funerals.
I am writing as we speak and the next chapter will be posted as soon as possible.

A reader sent me this message:

>>> This is a wonderful series. I've bought the books to keep it. But it seriously, desperately, needs a character list. Erica has too many connections to too many friends and opponents(less of those alive it's true). It's just too hard to return to the series after any break and keep track of their origins and characteristics. Please consider posting a character list with a couple of phrases to clarify them. I'm sure all your avid readers would be grateful. <<<

==================================================

Now I do not have a complete Character List yet. I see his point and recommend that you navigate to my wiki. All characters, ships, aliens have an entry.
I am working on a character list here:

Also these strips might be helpful:

each tile refers to a GalNet Wiki article.

And here are Time Line Strips of the Entire saga (Work in progress)

Hope that helps

Dear Friends,

while the Poll is quite conclusive, am majority wants more Eric before I tackle Roy's story.
I received a deluge of pleas to get started with Roy.
The Patreon platform does not allow to post two stories simultaneously.
It is very limited and very linear.
The Stories Online platform is much better in this regard, but it's a "Free Site"
Previously I used the SOL site for the completed books and Patreon for the new content.

I am not even sure if it will work, but this is what I will do.
I write Vol 10 of Eric on Patreon, as always chapter by chapter and release it once completed on Stories Online.
But I will start on Roy book 2 on Stories online- also chapter by chapter and migrate it to Patreon once completed.
Since this is the last Volume in the Eric Olafson Saga, I will return to the normal way for Roy Vol 3

I hope I can accommodate all my fans and readers this way

Vanessa Ravencroft
