Paul Kieniewicz holds advanced degrees in astronomy and geophysics, speaks several languages and occasionally teaches workshops in astronomy, geology, philosophy and the Gaia Theory. A specialist in the Earth’s gravity and magnetic fields, he has studied the geology of many continents. He lives in Aberdeenshire, not far from the birthplace of George MacDonald. He is currently writing "Song of the Earth", the sequel to "Gaia's Children".
I read this in high school as one of the books on the Literary Club book list. Kieniewicz came to the Woodlands High School and talked to us about the book, too. It was really cool that he did that. I really like sci-fi/fantasy, but at the time, I really couldn't get into this book because his writing style was very different to me. He's a self-published author, and I think this was the first time I had read a self-published book.
