Gregory Scherzinger used the bulk of his formative career to ski as much as possible while finding gainful work as a TV Producer and Director. He left the broadcast business and his skis to spend the next 13 years living on a 41' yawl in NW Washington. In various adventures, he sailed the Inside Passage, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Bahamas. His first novel was penned while residing in the San Juan Islands. He lived for a while in Todos Santos on the Baja, Mexico, where he continued writing and was adopted by a stray dog and cat who are still with him, currently on a small farm in the coastal hills of his native Oregon. He is working on the third draft of his fifth novel, The Deck of the Numinon.
