When the quiet and diminutive Elian O'Connell inherited the mountain he had been born and raised on, his parents didn't tell him it came with a life threatening secret: a small village of winged fairies struggling for existence, hidden from the world in the caverns of a long lost gold mine. It was only a matter of time before Elian encountered a winged being who sought repeatedly to take his life to keep the secret of the fairy village hidden. The young man is forced to consider the implications of God having created winged beings: truly, who is the neighbor Jesus taught us to go and help, when it could cost us our future, our dreams and even our life. Tim Snodgrass is a career electronics engineer; he has designed all types of radios, starting from age 12. This passion led him to design radios for the U.S. military as well as other nations, and that led to an interest in world history, particularly ancient history. Extensive international travel, visiting ancient sites, working on an archeological dig and living abroad led Tim to take up writing Christian novels to express how God moves people in different ways in the world's many cultures. Some of his novels creatively use the lives of realistic characters to show the limitations of what evolution can do and how modern creation research affirms a Christian world view. Tim has written a historical trilogy placed in WWII, and multiple medieval and contemporary novels. Several of these employ unexpected uses of radios in the storyline to build moral strength and character into teenagers facing life's many difficulties.
