Deryck HockleyDeryck Douglas Hockley is an engineer by trade, and a writer, poet, artist, and philosopher by choice. He is also a self-confessed amateur historian and theoretical conspiracyist. (The latter of which he points out is someone who collects and analyze conspiracies rather than one who is involved with conspiracy mongering.) Deryck believes humanity's semi-permanent predicament of ignorance, fear, and hatred is the effect of religious-historical myths created out of false ideas and taken out of context. As such, his mission is to enact some subterfuge that can help all people, everywhere, to ignore the path of least resistance in this world, shun senseless wealth and egotistical ceremony, and instead fight for the right to flex their own personal expressions of their individuality.

In addition to pursuits of the mind, Deryck enjoys most anything outdoors. His interests have included extensive mountaineering, motorcycling, and boating. He is a husband and a father, and especially, a friend of dogs and other gentle animals. Deryck lives with his wife on Pender Island, British Columbia. The Gods of Entropy is his second book.
