Erik Haraldson

Book One of The Yellow Hair Series

In the harsh, unrelenting world of eleventh-century Norway, Erik Haraldson strives to carve out his own path. Repelled by his society’s wanton brutality, he also seeks to follow in the Norse warrior tradition for adventure in faraway lands.

As Erik moves into adulthood, marriage, and fatherhood, he must devise his own strategies for survival and seek to guide his own family as best he can. When the chance arises to set out and build a new life in an uncertain land, Erik must make some crucial decisions for himself and his family.

Erik Haraldson takes the reader into a vivid portrait of an ancient, complicated land—and one man’s inward and outward journey. A journey that could lead to unbridled success or catastrophe.

Experience

In Experience, Ron Briggs gives the reader a glimpse of the life he lived in rural upstate New York as a child growing up in the 1950s and 1960s. In Part One of the book, he shares some of the games and other activities in which he, his family, and contemporaries participated, in those rough and tumble times before modern sophistication changed the lives of everyday Americans. Experience illustrates some of the ways children of the time occupied themselves on a very meager budget, yet had rewarding outcomes and learned skills necessary to move into a bigger world. Part Two follows Ron through some of his harrowing life experiences that may easily have resulted in tragedy, but rather, the reader is treated to the lighter side of those events. He captures the gravity of each situation and celebrates the eventual outcome.
