Tommy & Erin Forsberg
Tommy Forsberg was born and raised at 70 degrees north, on the coast of Northern Norway, where the Arctic shapes everything: weather, distance, the way people think about risk and self-reliance.
He has spent his life in environments where competence is not optional. A certified sea captain and helicopter pilot, he has navigated oceans on his own sailboat, logged hours in the air, jumped out of perfectly good aircraft, and built things with his hands in steel and weather. His professional background runs through high-risk operational environments, including quality and risk analysis in the aviation industry, work that trained him to think carefully about how systems fail and what happens when they do.
He now lives on a small self-sustained farm in Norway with his life companion Erin and teenage children.
The Solstorm Saga™ grew out of a question he kept returning to: what actually happens when the systems modern life depends on begin to fail?
Not the Hollywood version, not explosions and instant collapse, but the real sequence. The quiet failures. The invisible dependencies. The slow realization that the world most people assumed was permanent was always more fragile than it looked.
His writing draws on a lifetime of practical knowledge: seamanship, wilderness skill, risk assessment, food preservation, the particular discipline of living close to weather and far from easy solutions.
It is fiction grounded in reality, built by someone who has spent decades learning what resilience actually requires.​

​
Erin E. Forsberg is the creative voice behind the world readers and listeners experience in Solstorm.
She is the narrator of the audiobooks, bringing the story to life with warmth, emotional depth, and a voice that carries both intimacy and strength. She is also the artist behind the book covers, helping shape the visual identity of the saga with an instinct for mood, atmosphere, and character.
Beyond the books themselves, Erin is the voice, editor, and creative presence in the Solstorm videos, where story, image, and tone come together. Her background as a professional voice artist and visual storyteller gives the project a rare level of cohesion across page, audio, and screen.
She is also the author’s closest creative partner, a trusted first reader, story sounding board, and the sharp mind behind countless discussions about character, pacing, emotional truth, and the deeper shape of the saga.
Solstorm may be written by Tommy Forsberg, but it is built with Erin’s voice, eye, and creative instinct woven deeply into its world.
A Family-Built Saga
The Solstorm Saga™ is not a studio-built franchise. It is a long-form independent decade long creative project shaped by a husband-and-wife partnership. The books are written by Tommy Forsberg, with original handpainted cover art, audiobook performance, and visual storytelling by Erin E. Forsberg. That creative continuity is part of the identity of the saga itself: a world built slowly, carefully, and by hand.
