Dale Yates has a mild fascination in seeking the meaning of life through the study of everything from theology, mythology and folklore to astrophysics, quantum mechanics and eleven-dimensional string theory. He spent seventeen years, in his spare time, slowly piecing together this, his first book. During the hobby, he never truly knew how or if the book would end, but luckily, it did. He lives with his wife, daughter and brother-in-law.
