Günter was born in Austria, Europe and is now living in Montreal, Canada. He is in his 50’s of age and has been in his life pretty much the character as he describes himself in the book. An accomplished Pilot and Mechanical Engineer. He is also a political activist.

Günter Heyes is deeply concerned about social justice, the environment and foremost about human rights. He is also an atheist and pretty much everything the “good old god-fearing right wing” hates. His political insights come from his past involvement with his country’s Military Intelligence Service and naturally with his consequent exposure to the double-faced lies of big politics during his services. In the book, all his past experiences are well blended into the story. It often makes the reader wonder “If” this book is not fiction but truth after all?

Günter’s books have one common thread throughout! “Kill the dreams of a child today and you have created the Dictator or Terrorist for tomorrow…”

For Günter, politics is always personal. Pretty much picking up on the saying – “What goes around, comes around” – the Book Tiny Eden underlines that an often so simple and almost unimportant gesture or action can have severe consequences for the future, be they negative or positive.
What makes him such an accomplished writer is that he can take the “so boring” politics and turn them into gripping personal stories.

Günter Heyes began writing at the early age of 14, simply because he didn't "like" the outcome of most books. In his opinion it was always the 3rd, 4th or 10th main "support character" in a book that got in the end the "bad deal".

Günter's main influence was the writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Additionally his German Lit. teacher became his life long best friend and writing mentor who encouraged him to develop his talents.

“Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves.”

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
