About the author

Isaac was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and, but for a brief four-year stint navigating the streets of Manhattan (adventures which will, almost certainly, warrant a book of their own), has lived in western Washington his entire life. After majoring in English Literature, Isaac actively pursued his passions for both learning and writing.

Isaac experimented with numerous novels and short stories before making his way into non-fiction. In early 2007 Isaac made the decision to learn and write about physics, to paraphrase George Mallory, "Because it was there." Always eager for a new challenge, Isaac followed through and devoted himself to the study of math and science, writing hundreds of online articles on this and other subjects. After five years, Isaac finally published his first book: "The Bedside Book of Physics" (2012, Quid Publishing), which was released in five countries and translated into three languages.

In recent years Isaac has focused much of his writing on theology and philosophy, actively updating a blog on Christian Apologetics and religious philosophy, while still pursuing his love for interesting fiction, still working regularly on novels, experimenting in detective fiction, historical fiction, religious fiction, and middle grade fiction.
