The author, Timothy B. Hogg, born in Longview, Washington, USA, on February 4, 1952 has always felt like a visitor from a different time and a different place so it is understandable that in this work that’s exactly where he takes you. In his early years, being raised in a small town in the west, life was guarded and simple but the questions would always come, questions that would or could not be answered by those around him. Later in life, with world travel and exposure to many different cultures, the questions began to make more sense. This life long quest for truth has become the foundation of his writing, challenging both himself and his readers.
