Poss Pragoff

With an ancestor who spied on the British in the American Revolution and a great-great grandfather whose Prussian court intrigues led him to hastily decamp for the U.S., Poss continued the family DNA thread of clandestine activities as an intelligence officer during the Cold War. More than a half-century later, his novel Spy Lie Die lays bare a byzantine conspiracy surrounding the Cuban Missile Crisis. An award-winning advertising creative director, Poss has penned numerous Country & Western laments, including the cult classic on insolvency, "Severely Delinquent." Working in political campaigns provided grist for his satirical "Down To The Wire," floodlighting an improbable, riotous and joyful run for the Presidency by an unforgettable Texan, Jim Ray Bob Wire. An oenophile who traipses between the superb vineyards and stellar wineries near his home in Sonoma County, California, Poss is alleged to be writing a sequel to Spy Lie Die.
