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.

      Clear as the night sky over the Rimrock’s, the story of sixteen year-old Bradley Fletcher unfolds like a dark blanket hiding his past and his future. Bradley leaves a sleepy Texas town to see his grandmother Lilly in Memphis, Tennessee. Not knowing what to expect when he gets there, he finds himself in a crime story that happened long before he was born. Nobody and nothing will stop Bradley in his quest to find the brutal truth of what really happened when a young and beautiful white girl fell in love with a black blues musician in a time when black and White was not a matter of color… but of life or death.

      Set in the mid-1990's, Tunnel Kids is about a Tzotzil boy from Chiapas, who sets out through Mexico to the two cities of Nogales separated by the U. S.-Mexico border in Arizona and Sonora. Leaving his childhood behind, the road he follows turns into a nightmare, leading him to the tunnels that harbor kids like Santiago, most of them without a future - but still with a dream.
