D.B. Adams
D.B. Adams is novelist whose sharp wit once again skewers the absurdities of modern life. In this sequel to Wine Lord, Adams aims Ghostwriter at the highly sought profession of “influencer” and its cost of performing authenticity. While Adams was a professional ghostwriter, he denies doing anything related to the mischief of the story’s protagonist. “My imagination just got a bit wild,” he says. When not writing, Adams hacks away at his electric bass playing honky tonk, classic country, and blues for his midwestern neighbors, who graciously put up with his hobby. At least they haven’t called the cops on him… yet.
The Story of Ghostwriter
Bobby Barker thought he'd left his ghostwriting past behind. Eleven months in federal prison were a vivid consequence and redemption of his deceptions told in Wine Lord. But, in this sequel, when Bree Savage offers him one more job—crafting authentic narratives for struggling influencers—the money is too good to refuse, and the work feels righteous.
He's helping young creators find their voice, he tells himself. Maybe their published stories stretch a few facts. What harm could there be?
As Bobby engineers transformations for influencers desperate to stay relevant, he doesn't notice who's watching. Someone is documenting every email, recording every conversation, building an irrefutable case. Someone who loves him enough to destroy him if that's what it takes to make him stop.
By the time Bobby sees the trap closing around him, it's far too late. And the person holding the evidence might be the last person he ever expected to betray him.
Ghostwriter is a devastating satire about authenticity, ambition, and the machinery that devours anyone foolish enough to believe they can profit from truth cast as a lie.

The Story of Wine Lord
In the sun-drenched hills of Napa Valley, former Mexican cartel distributor Francisco Bautista reinvents himself as a respectable vintner, trading blood money for the prestige of California's wine aristocracy.
Armed with a mountain estate, sprawling vineyards, and a fabricated past, Francisco launches his assault on Napa's wine country social elite. His unlikely arsenal includes a washed-up celebrity ghostwriter, retired sports legends, and elite wine experts—all fighting for relevance in the intoxicating world of luxury wine.
As Francisco navigates this landscape of ego-driven socialites and ruthless business moguls, a universal obsession emerges: the pursuit of a perfect vintage that promises awards, influencer validation, and the keys to wealth, power, and desire.
Wine Lord uncorks a biting satire where ambition ferments into arrogance and dreams age like fine wine—sometimes turning to vinegar. In its verdant battleground of vanity and excess, the cast of wine country dreamers finds that getting exactly what you want might be the cruelest punishment of all.
