Craig Wells is an author of multiple contemporary literary novels set in Los Angeles and Oregon. They are inspired by the satires of Voltaire, the works of the Native American novelist, Sherman Alexie, and the social atrocities brought up by John Steinbeck. A revolutionary in the sixties in Southern California, ostracized by family and friends, he has never given up the fight against hypocrisy. Whether he confronts crimes against humanity or lost chances for redemption, his novels elevate us beyond despair. They give us hope. We are all worthy of love and forgiveness. Even the author who has battled being bipolar for 50 years.
