I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, the center for wines in the region. I have worked with wineries for years and watched the grapes affected by climate, by soils, and by people caring for them. All this shows up in my work. How special is working on lin...

After the publisher skipped town, I was a little distraught, but I had already started formulating the idea for this book. So, in 2004 I began writing “Wild Run”. The idea at the time had come from the long told stories of secret societies, the Illuminatti, and the likes. Up to that point, anything I had written, usually involved a science fiction feel to it (aliens, space, and...
