Paul Kreider

Paul T. Kreider was born in 1945 and raised in Berkeley, California as one of six children. Being on the curl of the ballyhooed baby boomer wave, he was sought out as prime meat by the Berkeley Draft Board. Not being slick enough to escape their steel-gloved grasp, he ended up joining the US Army and serving a tour, being released as an Infantry Captain in 1972. If you read the titles of the books he has written, you can follow along this thread. Having developed a fondness for wine in Europe, he started making it in 1972 and rode that pony for 38 years until it collapsed. Now a wine making consultant in the far Pacific Northwest, he writes daily from his water view computer station, building his next masterpiece, a full-blown novel about life as a Sicilian immigrant in the 1940’s.
