C.K. Quarterman

I came out of the US Air Force in the 1980s, where I trained in aircraft maintenance and studied at the Community College of the Air Force. That training taught me to take things apart, understand how they work, and put them back together with precision. It's a habit that never left me. Through the 1990s, I worked in retail sales, starting with high-ticket items and later moving into insurance. On the side, I taught myself electronics. I opened five businesses over the years and eventually folded them into one telecommunications company. I sold that business in the 2000s and went to work helping a friend launch a computer business. In 2009, I retired and moved to the mountains. That move changed everything. I started hearing local folk tales, the kind passed down at kitchen tables and around fires. They stuck with me. At the same time, I was deep in my own study of Genesis, wrestling with questions that have puzzled readers for centuries: who were the Nephilim, and what exactly happened in those early chapters of the Bible? The folk tales and the scripture study started to overlap. I began interviewing people who claimed to have seen something they couldn't explain, or who described supernatural encounters they'd never told anyone else. Story after story, a pattern formed. In 2013, that research became my first book, Fallen Angels, Giants, and the New World Order, published by Ambassador Publishing. I kept writing from there. The Watchers and Casting Out Demons followed. Then came Disclosure: They Are Not Extraterrestrials, The Watchers Fallen, Watchers' War, and Watchers Kingdom. Each book digs into the same territory: what the Bible actually says about non-human intelligence, and how that history connects to what people are experiencing today. Writing has never been separate from the rest of my life. During these same years, I worked in ministry with the homeless, pastored my own church for a stretch, and later helped a friend pastor his. That work put me face to face with people at their hardest moments, and it shaped how I listen to the stories I now write about. Outside of research and writing, I've kept my hands in computers and electronics, and I've spent years studying medicine on my own time. I like understanding how systems work, whether that system is a database, a body, or a belief passed down for three thousand years. My work has taken me onto a number of podcasts, including True News, where the episode I appeared on has pulled in more than 108,000 views on YouTube. I've found that most people, whether they come from a churched background or none at all, are asking the same question: what's really going on, and why does it feel so hidden? That question is what keeps me writing.
