I think these books are great fun, but don't take my word for it.  Here are a couple of additional opinions: 

“Danger: Falling Rocks” gives us a vibrant feel of the high Sierra, a charming new mystery hero, and an engaging, fast-moving mystery written with energy and a nice touch of wit. Paul Wagner’s love of the outdoors and his experience hiking and camping takes readers right into the mountains. The zippy writing keeps the story moving along the Sierra trails, through the lineup of interesting, quirky characters, and down the winding mystery path until the satisfying end. It’s a great summer read, whether or not you can find your way into the wilderness.”
-- Rick Kushman, best-selling NY Times author and co-host of Bottle Talk from Cap Radio in Sacramento

After more than 25 years I have fully retired from Balzac, leaving it in the very capable hands of Mike Wangbickler.  I am still available to him for consultation and projects, but it's his show, his company, and his succees.

Founder

I have been an instructor for Napa Valley College's Viticulture and Winery Technology Department for nearly thirty years.  I've also been also a guest lecturer at many universities, including the Wintour MBA program in Europe, OIV Wine Marketing Master Class at UC Davis, and the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone. I have spoken at more than eighty conferences throughout the world on wine, wine tourism, wine education, public affairs, and wine marketing, and published nearly 100 articles on the same. My books on Wine Marketing and Wine Sales have won national and international awards.  I am now retired, teaching only a few classes at Napa Valley College and accepting speaking engagements and projects only where I am fully entertained and excited about the work.
