John Putnam

John graduated from U.C. Berkeley with a degree in music but found a laptop keyboard more his forte than a piano. He has an ardent interest in history and his recently completed novel, Hangtown Creek, a story of adventure, romance, and coming of age that unfolds in the early days of the California Gold Rush, is in publication and will be available any day. Now he's here to share another exciting tale from this remarkable era with you.

To read a healthy sample of Hangtown Creek or discover John's informative online articles on the rich history of the gold rush please visit his web site at http://www.goldrushtales.com/.
