[edit] Biography

Raised in Minnesota, Beale graduated from Bucknell University in 1990. He founded the industrial-techno band Psykosonik with Paul Sebastian in 1991. The Minneapolis band released several albums in the early 1990's and enjoyed some commercial success, landing four singles on the Billboard Top 40 dance chart and winning a Minnesota Music Award for their second single, Welcome To My Mind. Beale also wrote the lyrics for Basic Pleasure Model's first single, Sunyata.

In 1993, Beale and Andrew Lunstad founded a Minnesota-based video game company named Fenris Wolf, developer of the game Rebel Moon (1995) and the sequel Rebel Moon Rising (1997). Fenris Wolf was developing two games, Rebel Moon Revolution and Traveller for the Sega Dreamcast, when it closed in 1999 after a legal dispute with their publisher GT Interactive. In 1999 under the name Eternal Warriors, Beale and Lunstad released The War in Heaven, a Biblical video game published by Valusoft and distributed by GT Interactive.

In mid 2005, Beale was named in numerous press articles as the founder of Treveda, a software company with offices in Zurich, Switzerland and Minneapolis, Minnesota. The press coverage claimed that development teams in the Twin Cities, New Jersey, Europe and Russia had spent half a decade adapting the 3D video engine from Fenris Wolf for use on real estate websites. By the end of 2005, the Treveda website had vanished and the technology was removed from real estate sites.

The Wrath of Angels is the third novel in the Eternal Warriors series.
