Rowlen Delaware Vanderstone

Hello Readers: I am Rowlen Delaware 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 disabilities and a physical handicap since I was brn premature 1951. 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 fantasy, 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 anthologies. Even won a few recognitions. My first real Sci-fi manuscript was rejected by a publisher summarily and I gave up writing. To be honest I was lousy when it came to English grammar. I had a great imagination. At 70 years of age, I took out my dustiy manuscripts and went the Ebook route with Smashwords, D2D and 66 published Ebooks five years, I am still grinding away.

At nearly 75, 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.
