Earl W GuyWith The Wizard's Sign Trilogy, Earl Guy is publishing his work for the first time, after forty years creating stories, camps and small group experiences for youth and adults. With degrees in psychology, theology and ministry, he has worked in secula non-profit and religious organizations, pursuing his career-long fascination with human awareness and the cultural influences in our universal search for meaning. The Wizard's Sign saga represents Earl's contribution to the dialogs of historic and human transformation that mark our own time. His playful approach, reimagining and having fun with the pretensions of our language and rituals, reflects his own humor and optimism. It also reflects his introspective and spiritual side that finds sacredness in our ordinary stories and in our often fear-distorted efforts to share the longing for love to matter in our lives.When not writing, Earl enjoys spending time with family. He sees himself as a lucky man: living in Southern California, with his loving wife, Kay, and being the father of three wonderfully accomplished and imaginative adult children. He is, as this is being written, on the staff of three cats, who have helped greatly in his writing by persistently occupying his computer keyboard. A life-long United Methodist, and retired, ordained Christian educator, he enjoys the support and challenge of church community. It is the challenge of that association that led The Wizard's Sign to be an intentionally non-religious story of an essentially spiritual quest. Earl is also an avid gardener and plant collector, who finds a delightful sense of enchanted wisdom in the community of soil, water, plants, and wild creatures. Read More Read Less
