Eric Oberst lives in South Florida with his wife and two children. The series The Adventures of Caroline began with The Time Machine, a short story that introduced Caroline, the characters, and the storyline.  

​

Now, with the second in the series, we are official! The Adventures of Caroline and the Emerald Dragon dives much deeper into Caroline’s adventures and really gets the series off the ground. We have begun the third volume – The Quest for the Emerald Whistle– in earnest and can’t wait to finish it!

​

I always like to say that writing is seldom anyone’s primary profession unless it can support itself. However, it is so much more rewarding to have the time to work on these stories with my children. I enjoy experiencing their excitement as the project develops into actual words and illustrations on real pages they can hold in their hands, especially now that two volumes are in print and a third is on the way. I also believe that the release of a Spanish translation has broadened my children’s horizons, further enticing them to learn the language. I hope it helps spread the story and inspires young kids everywhere.

​

The catalyst for a healthy imagination must start somewhere; my hope is that they will get much more out of this project than I put into it.
