Karl Erickson, who resides in Salem, Oregon with his wife and children, considers himself primarily a children's writer.  Tristan's Travels will be published by Rafka Press for Fall/Winter 2010.  Kimberly Erickson is the wonderful illustrator.

In addition to writing for children, his articles have appeared in America, The National Catholic Weekly, Catholic Answers' This Rock, Church Music Association of America’s Sacred Music (Fall 2009), Episcopal Church News, Seattle Pacific University's Response, TiberRiver Catholic Book Reviews, as well as the Portland Tribune. He is also a photographic and written feature contributor for Churchmouse Publications.
 
When not writing, his wife, Kimberly Erickson, and he enjoy opportunities to speak and share their family’s spiritual journey. Karl is also one of the founding members of the Catholic Writers' Guild, a new association of Catholic writers and artists engaged in trying to make a difference for God and bring creative renewal to Catholic literature.

Kimberly Erickson is an artist and the illustrator of his children’s books. (An older tale entitled Toupee Mice, is currently under revision, but a final decision has not yet been made on its future.)  Kimberly is also the daughter of artist John Carroll Collier, the celebrated sculptor of the Catholic Memorial at Ground Zero in New York City. It should be no surprise, then, that the intersection of faith and the arts is a particular passion for both Karl and Kimberly.

In Karl’s "spare time," he works as an auditor for the State of Oregon.
