-The author, Vic Lindblom, is a retired mechanical engineer, who designed vehicles in the fields of earthmoving, roadbuilding, commercial, and military equipment for large corporations. He writes with an understanding that technology, teamwork, and relationships among family and co-workers are critical to progress. The “Franchise” series of the “Ridgelands” saga incorporates these distinctive aspects into an adventure tale of emerging industry and political intrigue, set in a time before the advent of electricity.
-Vic Lindblom is also committed to the application of faith in our lives. He earned a Master of Divinity, and is active teaching, singing, and serving in his walk of faith. Amidst great diversity of belief and rejection of belief, faithful people are called to live out their faith in kindness before everyone. Diversity of belief is prominent in the “Franchise” series, sadly demonstrating how little valued people often are. The following, “Pilgrimage” series, digs deeper into our commitments to each other.
-Knowing that dialog is central to our relationships, Vic emphasizes conversation among characters to reveal the workings of their hearts. Characters also ponder their circumstances, wondering how to proceed or how to perceive events around them. He explores the complexity of human experience within the creative background of a different world, initially in Laboot City, extending to BuelaVisu. That local world will expand to two continents in the “Pilgrimage” series.
