Learn more about this daughter-mother writing team
K R Solberg & C R Jacobson are the daughter-mother writing team behind the flintlock fantasy series, The Palimar Saga. Blending Kirsten’s imagination and Carol’s technical skills, they crafted a fantasy saga full of intrigue, magic, and compelling characters. Remnant, book one of The Palimar Saga, is their debut novel.
K R (Kirsten) Solberg believes in the enduring power of story. She’s a wordsmith, graphic artist, and not too bad with a camera. Armed with a Bachelor of Arts in writing from Metro State University, she dwells in the woods of Wisconsin with her patient husband and their two book-obsessed children. She is disastrously introverted and chronically sarcastic.
Kirsten has roots in St. Paul, Minnesota, where her storytelling journey began under the nurturing wing of her mother and co-author. Her father’s dramatic bed-time readings of Tolkien contributed to this obsession.
These days, literature, camping, anime, and deep-fried cheese curds fuel her creative fires. She wishes she had a cooler origin story, but those are reserved for the varied and dynamic characters found in the pages of The Palimar Saga, a gripping flintlock fantasy series she wrote alongside C R Jacobson.
C. R. (Carol) Jacobson, a retired English professor with 41 years of teaching, now channels her expertise into crafting captivating stories. With a meticulous eye for detail honed over decades, she weaves narratives rich in depth and authenticity. The Palimar Saga, her collaborative venture with daughter Kirsten, reflects her love for storytelling and family.
Raised in northern Minnesota, Carol cherishes lake life in summer and autumn. For the winter, she and her husband trade the woods for the Florida ocean. Besides writing, she enjoys landscaping her yard, experimenting with recipes, brewing kombucha, and spoiling her 11 grandchildren.
