John Mead grew up in the 1960s as an only child in a rural Washington community. In his youth, he loved football and hunting and fishing. Though his love for the outdoors never wanes, his life takes a new direction, first with the love of a young woman, and then in a fateful entanglement in one of the greatest mysteries of the twentieth century. From the jungles of Vietnam to the tundra of Alaska, John's life is filled with challenges and rewards, including a spiritual awakening, as well as painful illustrations that the ultimate cost of war can far exceed the price paid on the battlefield. Robin West has published several nonfiction books, but 'D.B. and the Redemption of John Mead' is his first novel. His nonfiction books were written about things that he has studied or experienced; his first attempt at fiction includes these as well but also delve into delights of the imagination. Robin grew up in rural Oregon in the 1960s and graduated with a degree in wildlife science from Oregon State University in 1978. From there he started a career in Alaska working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services. After thirty years he moved back to Oregon where he finished his career overseeing management of national wildlife refuges in the Pacific Northwest and Pacific Islands. In retirement he returned to Alaska where he and his wife spend their time with grandchildren and their labradoodle, in between their travels.
