Howard Lentzner's first two books, NuFoam: The Bubble's Might and Trunk Wax: Delahunt at Large attempted to blend adventure, science, technology, and travel into stories that were built around the humor and vagaries of serious human endeavor. In his third book, the second installment of the TrunkWax Trilogy, he chronicles the adventures of Bill Robeiro, one of the three California amigos, in his attempt to procure a source of biologically rich, French manure. The author draws on his 30 years of experience with the Salers breed of French cattle, his marketing of grass-fed beef at Farmer's markets, and support of the Slow Food Movement. Prior to being a rancher, he was a research scientist, science writer and editor, and librarian. After his undergraduate work at Whittier College, he did postgraduate work at Strathclyde University in Scotland and at the Ecole Superieure de Chimie in Mulhouse, France. He currently resides with his wife of fifty years on what's left of the family ranch in Brentwood, California, where he runs herd on chickens and cats.
