Rickk Berry III is the author of the Realms of Valen series.

 

When not writing, and sometimes while he is, he enjoys photography, listening to music, reading, video games, and the occasional fire ball.

 

Born (supposedly, theories abound) and raised in small town America, he always felt out of place and was always "that weird guy". Life passed by. Employment for which he held no passion came and went. The sands of the hourglass trickled away. Having always written in some form or another, he finally decided to tackle the beast of a lengthy tale, and found, to his delight, that it agreed with him in a most satisfying way. Thus the idea for the Realms of Valen series was born, among others to be addressed at a later time.

 

He can be spotted in the windows of the ruined mountain fortress that he has made his home (which only exists in his mind), darting around, pacing, writing long into the night, working on his tale, and occasionally flinging fire balls about the place. After all, the story of Kaidia Valengaard must be told and he is, apparently, the one to tell it.
