COLIN SETTERFIELD

Born, raised and educated in South Africa, Colin Setterfield gained firsthand experience of life in a society polarized by racial tensions. His fascination with the sciences drew him into the professional realm of Industrial Engineering where he spent many productive years, as an Industrial Projects Engineer, helping large manufacturing concerns improve their productivity. The need for a background in Industrial psychology was paramount in gaining the cooperation of executives and blue-collared workers on the many industrial projects that highlighted his career.

In later years Colin became an ordained minister and as a result gained the reputation as a counselor, not only of work-related problems but also those which involved the personal relationships of his peers and congregations. After nearly forty years of involvement in a formal, Christian, fundamentalistic belief system Colin's research of biblical history and the source of its many doctrines finally revealed a much greater perspective to our existence in the cosmos than the stunted view a literal interpretation of ancient scripture presented. This discovery led him to write a book about his life as a "born again" Christian, and his time in the ministry, with the understanding which finally led him to incorporate a greater sense of reality into his personal belief system.

In 1994 Colin moved his family to Canada where he continued his passion for counseling and pursuing his love of science through the study of Quantum physics, Astronomy, Cosmology, Origins and Astrophysics, all in the pursuit of writing better science fiction novels.
