From the Author:
I often get asked why did I write Figure Eight? Every summer my family spends time together in Northern Wisconsin. In addition to musky fishing, we read a new mystery by a certain author. One year, the author didn't publish a new book, so I told my family I'd write one. That was how it started. Readers loved Figure Eight and they wanted more so the second book in the series, Spider Lake, will be available by January 2020. A third book is on its way.
About the Author:
Jeff Nania was born and raised in Wisconsin. His family settled in Madison's storied Greenbush neighborhood. His father often loaded Jeff, his brothers, and a couple of dogs into an old jeep station wagon and set out for outdoor adventures. These experiences were foundational for developing a sense of community, a passion for outdoor traditions, and a love of our natural resources.
Jeff's first career was in law enforcement where he found great satisfaction in serving the community. Things changed and circumstances dictated he take a new direction. The lifelong outdoorsman found a path to serve a different type of community. Over half of Wisconsin's wetlands had been lost, and more were disappearing each year. Jeff began working with willing landowners to develop successful strategies to restore some of these wetlands. This journey led to creating a field team of strong conservation partners who restored thousands of acres of wetlands and uplands in Wisconsin.
A pioneer in the ecosystem-based approach to restoration and a tireless advocate for conservation education, Jeff has been widely recognized for his work. Outdoor Life Magazine named him as one of the nation's 25 most influential conservationists and he received the National Wetlands Award. The Wisconsin Senate commended Jeff with a Joint Resolution for his work with wetlands, education, and as a non-partisan advisor on natural resources.
Jeff is semi-retired and writes for Wisconsin Outdoor News and other publications. Whether he's cutting wood, sitting in a wetland, fishing muskies, or snorkeling Spider Lake for treasure, Jeff spends as much time as possible outdoors.
