March 13, 2025 by SF Parrott Leave a Comment

An Irish Historical Fiction Novel ~

Standing in the shadow of Ireland’s Great Hunger, one woman wields an unyielding strength that shapes the destiny of generations.

“Sepia-toned history comes alive with thoughts and conversations as contemporary as our own.” —Pastor Tim Christenson, Colonel, USMC (Ret.)

“I learned a lot about the Irish Potato Famine through Erler’s depictions of people who experienced it. . . . The time travel [helped] interpret the historical background of the 1800s and the telling of the story” —Mary Schmidt

“A compelling story that needs to be shared and reflects a lot of excellent research.” —Rev. Dr. Kurt Ziemann

The Treskan Imperium: A vacation to die for!

After killing mutant monsters, defeating an evil vizier, and gaining and losing a queen’s ransom in days, Group Six is more than ready for a real vacation. Which part of the Treskan Imperium will they find most amusing – the mountain pass haunted by the ghosts of an ancient battle, the skirmishes between the relentless Treskan army and the scrappy insurgents resisting their conquest, the wrath of the tyrannical Imperator Merak, or the to-the-death gladiatorial games of Stadium?

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.

You were and still are my best friend.
