About the Author
Des is a person whohas travelled widely around the world on both business andpleasure, seen a lot and is somewhat philosophical about ourfuture. Regardless of the state of the world he enjoys life andlove and especially enjoys a bit of humour and satire about theestablishment and some of the craziness that seems to abound in ourwestern society.
He has studied andworked in many areas including government, private enterprise anduniversity teaching and published in a diverse range of areas. Hehas good academic qualifications. He currently has a keen interestin story telling, writing, poetry, philosophy and socialcommentary.
Des is an avid scifiand fantasy fan. He has watched most of the scifi and fastasy filmsproduced over the last 40 years and read countless books on thegenre. He played AD&D with his kids and friends for many years,loves computer based RPGs like Baldur's Gate, Never Winter Nightsand Dragon Age and has spent many late nights playing World ofWarcraft and Rift.
Des's Divinity Seedstrilogy draws on a wide knowledge of scifi and fantasy stories, alove of RPG action and an avid interest in philosophy of the mind.The story considers what could happen in a world where duality ofmind and body is a reality. It would be scary!
Des doesn't believe indualism and is more comfortable with a physicalist view of mind(anomolous monism sounds suitably chaotic.) He sees fantasy as away to explore dualist concepts and show the problems that canarise under such models of reality.
