B and N ebook promotions.

Free ebook promotion available to indie bookstores.

A humanities guy exploring backyard science, Werner offers a layman's view of evolutionary theory.

Werner's accessible, welcoming prose invites the reader to move in closer for a fresh look at everyday human activities and commonplace natural wonders.

With a voice and viewpoint all his own, Werner takes a well-earned place on the shelf between the evolutionary theory of E.O. Wilson and the shimmering prose of Terry Tempest Williams.

A confident, thought provoking speaker, Werner will facilitate a panel of Torrey House Press authors at the 2012 Utah Book Festival and will be a featured presenter at the 2013 festival.

Werner teaches writing at the University of Utah, and is well connected in the West's writing circles.
