Werner J. Egli

April 5, 1943

Werner J. Egli's early career as a graphic designer and copywriter laid the foundation for his literary pursuits. He initially gained recognition for writing successful crime and western novels under various pseudonyms. A transformative journey across North America in the early 1970s, undertaken with his partner and a half-wolf, deeply influenced his work. This experience culminated in a seminal novel for young adults, a classic of modern youth literature.
