David Bellin is a retired advertising executive, the winner of a CLIO statuette, the ad world's 'Oscar.' He and his wife traded in the glitter of a home in Hollywood for the dairy farm countryside of NY State's Finger Lakes region. A born-again Christian, he terms it a good trade. "Less of man's hand here, more of God's." His faith shines through in works called "enticing and beautifully written" by San Francisco Review and "contemporary fiction with something substantive to say" by Library Journal.
