About Steve Erickson

Growing up in Minnesota, my passions were playing baseball and drawing. When I realized that not being able to hit a decent curveball would probably keep me out of the major leagues, I followed my creative inclination and enrolled at Drake University. After graduating with a BFA degree, I worked for more than forty years in the advertising industry.

Having retired in 2018, I now live near my three sons and six grandchildren in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with my super-wonderful dog, Alex. Retirement has given me the time for traveling and exploring this great country, hangin’ with the grandkids, cruisin’ in one of my two classic 1960’s Mustangs and saying “yes” to important projects in the area.

As a boy, I was always intrigued by what might really be happening behind a closed refrigerator door. Does the light really go off when the door shuts? How do we know for sure? I hope “A Very Chilling Mystery” solves this compelling mystery for the entire world!

I believe strongly in the value of reading, learning and travel ... things that allow us to see beyond the boundaries of our own worlds. Hopefully reading “Where Do Animals Go for Vacation?” will not only be fun and entertaining (plus a bit educational) but will inspire readers to make constant journeys in their lives ... and their imaginations.
