Randy W. Somerton was born in 1962, on Bell Island in Newfoundland, Canada. He has been a Union representative and currently works as a manager with the Canadian Revenue Agency. His experiences have inspired him to explore the subject of injustice. His firm belief in the equality of all individuals compelled him to write this book in order to share his thoughts with others, seeking to show that hatred and injustice are wrong, regardless of their motivations.
