Kel Kade is a single parent who currently lives and works in
Texas as an adjunct faculty member at a few area colleges teaching courses in
geosciences. Growing up, Kade lived a military lifestyle of traveling and
moving to new places every few years. Not only did these childhood experiences
instill in Kade a sense of wanderlust, but they also helped to shape an open
mind and understanding that the Earth is expansive and wild, and world culture
is so diverse it is completely indefinable. Kade has always had a deep interest
in science, ancient history, cultural anthropology, art, music, languages, and
spirituality, which is evidenced by the diversity and richness of the places
and cultures depicted in these writings.
