Hello Readers: I am Rowlen Deleware Vanderstone III, my penname. My real name is Robert D. Vergeson and I have since my childhood have always dreamed of writing. I just had to get past my learning disabities and a physical handicapp since I was born premature 1951. As early as I can remember my daydreams and night dreams was about adventures stories, being he hero who rescued the fair maiden. It wasn't until after repeating 3 elementary grades over that at age 15 did I finally physically grasp my reading skills and since I became an avid reader of Sci-fi and fatansy, Teen adventure stories, and rite of passage stories of teen life in many circumstances in life. And yes, I rooted for the hero who bested the bullies in his life. I had my fair share of them in my life given my own circumstances. I wrote my first story in my senior year in high school, then shelved it as worthless. It wasn't until decades later that I had my poetry published in those anthologies. Even won a few recognitions. My my first real Sci-fi manuscipt was rejected by a publisher summarily and I gave up writing. To be honest I was lousy when it came to english grammer, but had a great imagination. curing Covid, at 70 years of age, I took out my dustiy manuscripts and went the Ebook route with Smashwords, and 46 published Ebooks later, I am still grinding away.
I was certainly a late bloomer, like at age 47 I got a college degree, earned a 3.5 GPA, made the National Deans List, and was inducted into the PHI Thetta Kappa honor society. My High school counscelor once told me that I was't college material. Was told digging ditches was the best job for me. I believed her, and dug ditches, and spend 27 years still believing her. Bullies come in all kind of shapes and ages. My first ebook is a bio about my bullies called "Walters and the Bullies" On Smashwords.com I am still lousy at grammer and spelling and very thankful for spell and grammer check.
At 72, I look forward to a few more books out of me. I will pat myself on the back and say my Sci Fi fantasy are good reads,. My rite of passages series even better, my chapbook, my mysteries, and my non-fiction revealing.
Are Hero's born, or do they just happen? When is a Hero a reluctant Hero? Are all hero's superhero's, or are they just ordinary? Does a hero leap into action without hesitation, or do they need motivation? Do all hero's need recognition, or do some walk away back into obscurity? Does a hero need a public relation firm to represent them? Or do they just wing it alone, hoping they get by on their good looks? What if a hero is downright ugly? Even maybe a clutch, jinxed, stupid, shy, depressed, short and tubby. Afraid of heights, spiders, snakes, relationships. Wears glasses, has a Hearing loss, introverted. As common as a dust bunny under the bed. Are hero's dime a dozen or one in a million, or a onetime thing and yesterday's news. Does a non-hero wake up one morning and find they are suddenly gifted with powers or wake up and it is all a dream? What if suddenly all the hero's one day suddenly vanish, and none are left on earth to save the day. Except one reluctant person who doesn't even know they are a hero hiding under the bed with the dust bunny's when bullies show up from another world, alien space pirates taking over the world. What if those very dust bunnies under the bed are aliens, allies who give our person the courage and the powers to defeat the alien bullies? What if, who are we kidding, what if our reluctant hero is jinxed, stupid, shy, depressed, short and tubby, afraid of heights, spiders, snakes, relationships, wears glasses has a hearing loss, and is introverted, or just ordinary. Sneezes and obliviates all the dust bunnies under the bed. End of the world and our story ends before it begins. But I don't believe in 'What if's'? Neither did our Reluctant Hero.
