Dr. Witte kept the story and the note for 35 years. This is his first novel and the first in a series, following the life and lessons learned of William de Simpson. J. S. Witte and his wife call St. Louis, Missouri home, where he pursues his other passion, craft beer, as the Director of Operations at a local brewery and distillery.
