As I wandered through my neighborhood Barnes and Noble – with one of MY books on the shelf by the way – a familiar voice said “what are you doing here?” The voice belonged to Robert Spiller, a YA author from Colorado Springs, at the store for a signing of his second book A Calculated Demise (Medallion). How could I not walk away with a signed tome? However, being the sort of person who begins at the beginning, the book I took home was Bob’s first novel, The Witch of Agnesi. Robert has a wonderful way of combining mathematics and math history as ways to solve mysteries.
I urge you to visit Bob at http://www.rspiller.com and see what he’s all about. Good writer and a great guy. He is the Director of Youth Programs for Pikes Peak Writers, and has some great ideas surging from that head of his.
