Lee Spangler lives in Bend, Oregon, and spends his time fishing, hiking, traveling, skiing, sketching, and volunteering. As a young man, he studied German literature at UCLA and at the University of CaliforniaBerkeley and then moved to the Pacific Northwest to lead a counterculture lifestyle. Later, he came to his senses and pursued a career in real estate until he retired in 2008. The author is one of those whimsical people whom you may meet in a coffee shop who seems a little too intense but whose heart appears to be in the right place. He has created for your enjoyment a deeply personal work of fiction whose characters, you will agree, are remarkably true to life.
