Gary Wayne is the pen name for an artist, writer, and author from the great Northwest. Born in Portland, Oregon, Gary has 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. Through his travels, he gained knowledge about how people live in various regions of the country. Gary 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 named Nikko, which 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. If you ask him, "How are you doing? He will normally always reply, "Better than I should be." Every now and again you can find him working on a sketch for the cover of his next book or a series he has in mind. Gary was asked, "How come you started this fantasy series? His reply was, "For many years I have thought of a storyline about how all people no matter what their color, religion, how they walk, talk, and treat each other can work together. I wanted to produce a book for people to read that shows all people can work together to create greatness."
