About The Author
Author Of The Book
Robert Goodrich II
I was born into a military family, the oldest of seven children. Hence, we moved around a lot and had many experiences. After high school and some college, I got married. We have now been married for more than twenty years. We currently have two teenagers, and one child that passed away at 19 months old due to a terminal condition he was born with.
I’ve always enjoyed good stories. I remember reading a number of Charles Dickens novels in high school that I absolutely loved. He could lay out many different threads of seemingly unrelated events, then tie them together in a beautiful bow at the end. It was all connected.
My passion for writing actually came out of boredom. Shortly after being married, I worked in a factory which had very boring work. I needed something to occupy my mind. And thus, the idea for the Valmery Series was born.
That was about 15 years ago now. It hasn’t been until recently that I have been able to develop this story to what it is now.
I hope you will join me in this journey to see what else will happen. And join me as I continue to hone my creative ideas, and sharpen my story telling.
A Lifelong Love of Storytelling
Robert Goodrich II has always been drawn to powerful stories and the art of connecting seemingly unrelated events. Inspired by authors such as Charles Dickens, his passion for storytelling grew into a creative journey that continues to shape his writing today.
The Story Behind the Valmery Series
The idea for the Valmery Series began nearly 15 years ago while Robert was working a repetitive factory job and searching for a creative outlet. What started as an idea born from boredom gradually developed into an ambitious science-fiction story filled with imagination, adventure, and interconnected characters.
What Readers Say About US
As someone who loves sci-fi, I very much enjoyed the story. Based on this, I would love to go on to read the other five parts of the story...The plot was well structured, the pacing was fast but not so fast that I felt you were skimping on detail, and most importantly, it’s engaging for the reader. I think sci-fi fans will enjoy it, and they will certainly be curious enough to continue on with the series
I must say, you’re a pretty good storyteller. Strong scene choices that show action and bring a reader’s imagination to life. You did a great work. Honestly speaking, as a beta reader, I learnt a few things from how you strategically placed every word. It wasn’t just some sort of info-dumps, it was very illustrative.
I’m thrilled by The Valmery Series: Pearl. The gripping action, galactic mysteries, and unforgettable characters pulled me in from the start. Logan’s mission, the Grimoire’s threat, and Trevor’s journey make this an exciting and immersive sci-fi adventure.
Pearl is an exciting sci-fi adventure with plenty of action, memorable characters, and a world that feels much bigger than just one story. Logan and his crew kept me interested throughout, and the mix of advanced technology, mysterious powers, and dangerous creatures made it hard to put down
