I was born in Canada and remember as a small boy crawling in my snow-fort. I closed my eyes, and when I tried to open them, they were frozen shut. I didn't panic, but wiped away the ice crystals, unglued my eyes and kept on building my tunnel. Those were great days! I moved to Central California before seventh grade and couldn't believe I lived in a land where oranges grew on trees and you could pick grapes from the vine.

I used to wonder what I wanted to do with my life, what kind of work specifically. I was miserable not knowing and bordering on desperate. Then one day a friend gave me his typewriter. I began working on a novel. A different person told me it was much easier on a computer, so I bought one and began getting up at 4:30 A.M. each morning before work, writing for three hours. My eyes were unglued once again as the pang of misery left my gut. I knew exactly what I wanted to do: write. So now that's what I do, I write, and write, and write, and I love it.

I read all four books in the series. They’re fantastic. The author takes facts such as life span, geography, and relationships straight out of Genesis. Then he embellishes the story with some very realistic descriptions of how things are built and weather conditions etc.... Then he adds some really fun dialogue and the result is awesome. I loved these books.

Interactions of people and development of the city of Babel.

Good follow-up from previous post. More author license in what it might have been like there in that time period. Brought some scripture references into story line which is what I enjoy. Going on to next book in series to see how his imagination takes him. Good read.
