Lance D. Farmer was born in 1961 in Boise, Idaho, but hails Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, as his hometown, where he graduated high school. From there, he joined the U.S. Navy. While departing the navy, he experienced a traumatic event that left him searching for answers to his life in the border lands of society. Yet to be diagnosed with PTSD and several other emotional disorders, he found that commercial crab fishing out of Dutch Harbor, Alaska, suited him for twenty-five-plus years as a primary career. During this time, he worked in the Russian Okhotsk Sea, was a miner in Cameroon (Africa), and a commercial truck driver. While in Cameroon, he wed his current wife, Messougue Ambegdou (Bijoux) Sonia Farmer. Over his lifetime, he saw great success and total destruction due to self-medicating his PTSD symptoms. Finally, in August 2014, finding the Salt Lake City, Utah, Veterans Affairs (VA), he began rehab and intensive therapy. Still involved in therapy, he composed this book of introverted inspiration, "Twisted Wisdom." May you find a piece of yourself among these pages.
