Autorenporträt

JJ Ollman's motivation for this story came when he took his fifteen-year-old grandson on a hike near Bean and Bear Lakes on the Superior Hiking Trail. Ollman has spent many hours hiking on the North Shore and the idea of placing a grandfather and grandson from vastly different backgrounds into a setting on the North Shore germinated in his mind for a year. Friends, readers, and family encouraged him to expand the story into a full-length novel. JJ Ollman lives in Southern Minnesota with his wife Cindy and spends too much time golfing.
