Kurzbiographie: [from author's website]
I am a 25-year veteran of the publishing industry. I have edited many New York Times bestsellers for a host of major publishers, ghostwritten numerous projects (proposals and full manuscripts), helped launch an online book discovery site, and published three of my own books. A British native, I live in California, where I play guitar, look at birds, and ride a Triumph motorcycle called "Vincent".
