We've never heard of this guy, yet a Runescape book is written by him? Isn't it odd that a book on such a seldom advertised game is released by a person, possibly a member of Jagex staff, was released so suddenly? He's no member of Jagex staff.

You see, through my research I have uncovered startling evidence that reveals the true identity of Mr. T. S. Church. It is well-known that authors will sometimes use a pen name or an alias and have this name displayed as the author of the book. Church, however, was using this to conceal who (or what) he really was. I didn't discover this until later, though. I interviewed Andrew Gower about the book, asking only meaningless questions about the contents and how it tied in with the game, then I popped the REAL question I had been waiting to ask him:

"Exactly WHO IS Mr. Church?"

He looked startled by the question. I suppose he didn't think anyone would care about who wrote a book on Runescape of all things. He fidgeted around and refused to answer the question. He only told me that no one from Jagex staff has no personal contact with Church and only spoke to him on the phone about the progress of the book. The book was delivered directly to Gower in the mail, and Church's payment was sent to the return address.

Suspicious, no? What could Church be hiding from Jagex? What could possibly be so wrong with his identity that he refused to show his face to Andrew? I was not allowed to obtain the return address, so I have no idea where he resides. Only a handful of Jagex employees know the location. I began to investigate, searching the internet and checking census offices for a T. S. Church. The census has nothing on him, and these are the only two things I could find out:

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/T._S._Church

There's no information about him. No biography, picture, or anything. Shady, huh?

This is a selection I picked out of a few similar pages relating to the same thing. Why would he be interested in contributing to an article about cardiorespiratory fitness? Also notice that this is completely unrelated to Runescape, so we can assume Mr. Church didn't have much purpose to write the book on what I assumed was personal interest at the time.

It was around this time that I realized the lack of information on his name could only mean one thing: T.S. Church was a pen name. Why T. S. Church? Perhaps he was a religious man? So religious that he couldn't show his face in public?
