Douglas "D.J." Lutz is a Virginia-based writer, storyteller, and decent cook. As a younger lad, he spent more late nights than he cares to admit as a line cook, bartender, and bouncer at one of the largest country western honky-tonk bars on the east coast. There, he acquired a quick wit, a strong liver, and enough material for a library of tales beyond belief.

​Author of the Winnie Kepler Culinary Mystery Series, D.J. lives in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia with his wife, an innocent-looking puppy, and two sneaky cats.
