After a career in broadcasting working as a public affairs and documentary producer, reporter, fundraiser and producer of the Jacksonville Jazz Festival for eight years, Victor DiGenti turned to his first love — writing. He found inspiration in his household of feline critters and wrote three adventure/fantasies with a feline protagonist. His novels — Windrusher, Windrusher and the Cave of Tho-hoth, and Windrusher and the Trail of Fire (Ocean Publishing) — have won multiple awards and attracted readers of all ages. Vic’s unpublished manuscript Matanzas Bay, a mystery/suspense novel set in St. Augustine, won the 2007 Josiah W. Bancroft Sr. Award, and was named a Book of the Year in the 2009 Royal Palm Literary Awards Competition. He’s currently working on the sequel to Matanzas Bay. Vic is a frequent speaker at libraries, book festivals and conferences, as well as leading workshops on the craft of writing. He’s a regional director of the Florida Writers Association and on the Board of the Friends of the Library–Ponte Vedra Beach, where he lives with his wife and their rescued cats.
