Bryant Wieneke

Bryant Wieneke is the author of fourteen widely acclaimed books. His new biography series allows the reader to experience vicariously the AHA! moments of famous scientists, such as Albert Einstein, Rachel Carson, Charles Darwin, Thomas Edison, and George Washington Carver. Wieneke's fiction includes nine novels in the impactful Priority Series, centering on the concept that America's foreign policy can be less militaristic and more humanitarian, a concept that can become a reality. Lastly, Wieneke's non-fiction includes three auto-biographical books: A Dry and Thirsty Land, the story of the author's Peace Corps misadventures on the edge of the Sahara Desert; Winning without the Spin, a chronicle of his experiences on a unique Congressional campaign; and Melanoma without a Cause, the astonishing tale of his recovery from Stage 4 cancer. Writer's Digest reviewed his novel, Xanadu and the Tweetstorm, as follows: "Wieneke does a fantastic job of tapping into his characters to contribute their unique tones to the narration of Xanadu and the Tweetstorm, a skill that has undoubtedly been developed through writing his other books in the Priority Series. Though I haven’t had the pleasure of perusing those, it’s clear that the author has spent a lot of time developing his characters and the world in which they live, creating a complex backdrop that is fairly similar to the real world. In fact, I’d say that the parallels he draws are pretty intuitive, if not a little frightening. To have an author who is able to write political fiction and make it as engaging as Wieneke does takes a certain kind of writing style that not everyone can grasp or pull off."
