M.F. Erler
Author | Website

M.F. Erler has been writing most of her life. In fact, some of the characters in The Peaks Saga were initially conceived in her youth. Her lifelong goal has been to bring Christian ideas into fantasy-fiction, in the spirit of writers like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Now that she has published “The Peaks Saga: The Peaks at the Edge of the World,” she is embarking on a new venture in historical fiction, where her modern-day characters time-travel back into the lives of their ancestors. So in the future, watch for more tales in “Journeys Beyond the Peaks.” Along with fantasy, true science, and science fiction, she is also a student of history, comparative religion, ecology, and music. Previous publications include non-fiction articles in Today’s Christian Parent, and Social Studies and the Young Learner. In addition, she has produced Music in God’s World, a music curriculum for Christian preschools, and Christian Environmental Education Curricula for use in schools and camp settings. Her hobbies include reading, singing, and playing several musical instruments. She and her husband have two adult children. All make their home in the Pacific Northwest.

Books Available from First Steps Publishing Bookstore, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other online bookstores. Available in Print and eBook.

In Memory

Ronald P. “Ron” Lovell, Author, Friend

August 1937 — March 2025

Ron Lovell was born in Colorado Springs and later graduated from UCLA. After serving in the Army, he built a journalism career and became a beloved OSU professor. In retirement, he wrote two mystery series—14 Thomas Martindale books and 4 featuring Lorenzo Madrid.

I’ll miss your “serious” critiques, that sent me into laughing fits on how my writing as “too cutsie” and our weekly donuts and coffee runs, talking about writing, stories, and everything in between.

You were and still are my best friend.
