Gerald Welch

Gerald Welch was born September 10th, 1964 in Gibson City, Illinois. A talented young artist, he drew his first comic book character, Magicman, at the age of six. Interest in writing soon followed.

He joined the U.S. Army in 1986 as a Broadcast Journalist, serving his three years in Korea. He was honorably discharged in 1989, having attained the rank of Specialist.

While serving in Korea, Jerry was the lead artist for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.

After he returned to civilian life, Jerry moved to Texas, where he bought a video production company.

In 1996, he ran for the US House of Representatives for District 1 in Texas, but was forced to drop out when his video business went bankrupt.

Jerry never lost his interest in art or writing. Around 1986, he conceived the idea for his "The Last Witness" series, though it started out called "Born A Warrior". By 1994, it had become a supernatural adventure titled "The Last Witness". Shiloh, the main character, was being refined and the history of planet Ehrets was deepened. He began writing the first novel in the series, "Resurrected Destiny", in 1993.

"Resurrected Destiny" and the prequel "The Arterran Chronicles" have been issued by Book Mason Publishing and distributed through Pentecostal Press.

Gerald Welch is married. He and his wife have three sons.
