About J.J. Viertel

J. J. Viertel is the pseudonym used by the father-son writing team of Jack and Josh Viertel who live in Maine and New York.  With Josh Viertel’s background in environmental activism and organic farming and Jack Viertel’s deep roots in storytelling and theater, the duo offers a novel that’s as grounded in real-life experience as it is gripping in plot.  They mostly write in Szechuan restaurants, but occasionally retreat to a shared Google doc, or a sofa overlooking Eggemogin Reach on the coast of Maine. The Glass Eel is their debut thriller. Read more about the authors on their website.
