J. Allan Danelek is a native of Minnesota but a resident of Colorado since 1969, his life has been a journey that has taken him down many different paths—some good and some not so good—but all of them useful in his journey. After a stint in the Navy (as a navigator and, briefly, an air traffic controller) he attended the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, specializing in illustration and graphic design. Since then, he has worked for a wide array of employers, from the public school system to the aerospace industry. He even worked for a couple of years laying out an international magazine for a local televangelist. After doing a gig as a part-time driving instructor, he's back in the graphics industry once again while he waits for his "ship to come in"—whenever that might be. In the meantime, he continues to maintain several websites, keeping his hand in free-lance graphic work, continues to write for both himself and several other websites, teach classes at Colorado Free University and the city of Longmont, and work on his tennis game. Danelek currently lives in Lakewood, Colorado with his wife, Carol, and two beasts. Besides writing, Danelek's hobbies include— art, politics and political history, world and military history, religion and spirituality, numismatics (coin collecting) paleontology, astronomy (and science in general) and Fortean subjects such as Bigfoot, UFO's and things that go bump in the night. He enjoys writing both fiction and non-fiction, much of it with decidedly spiritual, religious, cryptozoological, historical and/or paranormal overtones, and consider writing to be his life's passion.Website http://ourcuriousworld.com/Books Reconsidering Atlantis: A New Look at a Prehistoric Civilization Mystery of Reincarnation: The Evidence & Analysis of Rebirth UFOs: The Great Debate: An Objective Look at Extraterrestrials, Government Cover-Ups, and the Prospect of First Contact The Case for Ghosts: An Objective Look at the Paranormal Paperback Mystery of Reincarnation
