Personal history

Terashiel was part of the Second Fall in 1938, landing in Austria and fighting alongside American troops from 1938-1945. By the end of the war, he had decided to move to Fresno, California with the troops he had gotten know. He joined up with a small flock of fallen in the Fresno area in 1946. During the late 40s and early 50s, he was very active in the local poetry scene, eventually beginning to share short stories he had written with friends both human and angelic. It wasn't until the late 60s that he connected with an editor willing to help him hide his identity in order to publish his novels.
