Author - Harvey
Jacob Harvey Redloh, also known as Harvey for personal speaking purposes, is mostly an ordinary fellow, but occasionally becomes an adventure seeker. He is a dreamer, an artist, a poet, and a writer. Other guises he has worn include being a motorcyclist, workman, salesman, and life-long student of philosophy – these latter activities taking up the majority of his living experience. At sixty-four years old, and since completing “The Queen’s Adventurer”, he has been joyfully pursuing writing in several forms. He decided after several years of retirement to return to the workaday world, just to keep life interesting, and writes in every spare moment.
In his younger days, Harvey was one to volunteer where help was needed, providing what he could effectively and did so routinely within his scope and sphere of activities for many years, including succor for the needy and aiding anyone seeking to pursue enlightened self-interest. He has aspired in his life and during times of creative exuberance and/or enforced relaxation to succeed in the arts, spending time sketching, drawing in pastels, painting in oils and acrylics, yet in the long-term writing was that place where he found all roads leading, and since taking up his pen, poetry in particular has become his favored creative medium. Ever and always, when the muse is active, he writes to fill that inspired work in whatever writing genre is required to fill that need.

In Remembrance
Alex Serrano was an adventurer himself having been born in Mexico but finding opportunity limited there, immigrated to the United States leaving family behind, where he found a future worthy to experience.
He found his niche in graphic design and marketing, his religion in Scientology, each a long stride away from his youthful history.
Alex may have left family in the old country but he never forgot them, always in communication, aiding where necessary, traveling to Mexico City to visit as often as he could. While he himself remained unmarried and childless he had many siblings with their own children for him to dote on and enjoy when in their presence.
As a friend he offered his hand to anyone in need, be they from the church or secular life, contributing sometimes to a fault, leaving little for himself at day’s end.
I have deep appreciation for Alex as a human being and as a personal friend and contributor to this very work. He went well out of his way to bring “The Queen’s Adventurer” to fruition, creating the artworks you see, the covers and formatting the manuscript for print. He was an amazing fellow, ever a friend, ever contributing to life around him.
Alex, you are missed.
