Darrell G Coley lives in Wilmington a small town in southwestern Ohio. This is also the setting in which his story "Swallowed by Time, Book One" finds its beginning. Darrell created this book as the second book in a trilogy, which he began writing while working as an aeronautical engineer for an international airline. He continues to use his knowledge as an engineer to bring a sense of realism to the story. Currently, Darrell is retired from the nine-to-five corporate life and lives with his wife, Pamela, and Wilson (their dog) but is still sought after as an independent contract engineer. In addition to being an aeronautical engineer, over the past forty years, Darrell has served as the senior pastor of several Southern Baptist churches. It was his love for God and his love for science fiction that motivated him to create three books that celebrate science while at the same time elevating and giving glory to God.
