Gary Wayne is the pen name for an artist, writer, and author from the Pacific Northwest. He was born in Portland, Oregon, but lived most of his life in southeastern Washington state. In his young adult years, after leaving the service, he traveled and worked throughout the United States. In those travels, he gained knowledge about how people live in various regions of the country and has always said, "There is 'only one race,' and it's called the human race." As a father, he has always been proud of his identical twin daughters, saying, "My girls have always been the greatest part of my life." He adopted a friend he named Nikko, who happens to be a mix of Old English Sheep Dog and Husky. They are always together no matter where he goes. He lives a very quiet life away from large cities, and his home has been created with his ideas and plans, and it looks as though it fulfills all his needs. The imagination and background of Gary's travels give him perspectives he has incorporated into all his writings, drawings, paintings, photography, materials, and even posts on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, or daily/monthly news publications throughout the United States. If you ask him, "How are you doing? He will normally always reply, "Better than I should be." Retiring at the age of seventy, now you can find him working on a sketch for the cover of his next book, writing an article for news media, or writing and editing his next book. When Gary was asked, "How come you started this fantasy series?" "After writing articles for over 45 years, along with working and finally retiring, I knew I had to keep busy. For many years, I have thought of a storyline about how all people, no matter what their color, religion, or how they walk, talk, and treat each other, can work together. I wanted to produce a book for people to read that shows how all people can work together to create greatness."
