Casey Fisher is an American entrepreneur, writer, and father of four. His wife, Melanie, has a daughter of her own, bringing the total to five wonderful humans they have been fortunate enough to unleash into the world.
Born in 1974, Casey grew up in Utah and Idaho. He went on to become a college athlete before graduating from Southern Utah University in 1997, earning a bachelor’s degree in communications with a marketing minor. After working in the field for four years, he ventured into business on his own. The largest of his companies, Surround Air, was in business for twenty-three years.
Aside from business and writing, Casey enjoys spending time with his family and their beloved pets, being active, and reading anything from fiction to journals of history and science. After completing an interactive history project, he became interested in exploring the origins of religion and mythology. Not just western and biblical, but all traditions. This led to his first book, The Satan and the Cherubim, which is the first of a series by the name of There Came Darkness.
This book began with a fascination over how, according to evidence, much of the Old Testament as we know it today came into form during an oft-overlooked era in Israelite history. This was during the rule of King Josiah in the 7th century B.C. And yet, in the text that survived, this episode was wrapped up in oddly hasty and anticlimactic fashion. There seemed to be an unwritten story calling out from between the lines. It was a story Casey couldn’t resist entertaining.
He was also interested in the issue of the problem of evil, and how various traditions grappled with the idea. In the Christian world, this led to the ultimate titan of evil himself, in the figure of Satan. Although seemingly disparate themes, the more he looked into them, the more they began to merge into a single, compelling narrative.
Upon finishing the first volume, the plan was to finish the series. But then his interest in quantum mechanics led to another story idea he couldn’t shake, involving several story lines connected by an accidental quantum computing breakthrough. This, along with Casey’s passion for social justice issues, brought The Subtle Cause into being. This book was published in July of 2024.
