Aaron Michael Fanthorpe, W.E. Gathercoal, and V.D. Ramsey were born and raised as Aaron Smith, Patrick Smith, and Vance Smith in the Peace Country of Northeastern British Columbia, Canada. (Fanthorpe, Gathercoal, and Ramsey are their pen-names). At a young age they were introduced to sci-fi, and the love affair began. While growing up they built model space ships and created universes in which to travel. Fertile imaginations led the desire to create. Aaron tried his hand at writing for the first time at age 11 with a book called 'Condor'. Over the years as Aaron, W.E., and Vance discovered fantasy; 'Condor' became 'Genesis Project'. Genesis Project is the accumulated work of over 11 years. It is a work of high adventure, magic, and wonder. Aaron, Patrick, and Vance reside in northeastern British Columbia, Canada where the wide sky and beautiful scenery inspire them to create worlds of wonder and adventure in which they can expand the universes they crafted so many years ago. Aaron spends most of his time writing, editing, and writhing some more. W.E. draws and works on computer animation. Vance, when he's not writing or helping with Genesis Project, is busy playing guitar and writing music.
