About the Author

Casey Fisher

Casey Fisher is an American entrepreneur and writer and father of four. Born in 1974, he grew up in Utah and Idaho. He went on to become a college athlete before graduating from Southern Utah University in 1997, earning a bachelor degree in communications, with a marketing minor. After working in the field for four years, he ventured into business on his own. His companies are still in business and thriving to this day.

He enjoys spending time with his family, including his new wife and her daughter, being active, reading and, of course, writing.

After completing an interactive history project, he became interested in exploring the origins of religion and mythology. Not just western and biblical, but all traditions. Although he did not plan on writing a fictional book on the topic, a number of story lines began to come together in the mind. But there was one that came through a little stronger than the others.

He found it fascinating how, according to evidence, much of the Old Testament as we know it today came into form during an oft-overlooked era in Israelite history. During the rule of King Josiah. And yet, in the text that survived, this episode was wrapped up in oddly hasty and anticlimactic fashion. There seemed to be an unwritten story calling out from between the lines.

He was also interested in the issue of the problem of evil, and how various traditions grappled with the idea. This, of course, led to the ultimate titan of evil himself, in the figure of Satan. Although seemingly disparate themes, the more he looked into them, the more they began to merge into a single, compelling narrative.

The story practically wrote itself, aided by exhaustive research. But repurposing his marketing and technical writing experience to fiction writing proved to be the greater challenge. It was a process years in the making. The story written and rewritten several times. But after all these years working on it, he is confident the writing has finally reached a level the story deserves.
