Meet Westfield Author Bill Griffeth at The Town Book Store
In Bill Griffeth's book, Loose Nukes, nonproliferation expert Coot Jenkins
confronts the Mushrooms: anarchists who threaten to detonate nuclear weapons
unless people join their insurrection. Coot must discover who financed the
Mushrooms’ black market purchase of Soviet-era nukes and gain the cooperation
of the Mushrooms to thwart a devastating nuclear attack on the United States.
Still grieving over the death of his wife Frannie, Coot meets computer security
specialist Diana Munson, a younger woman determined to avoid romantic
involvement. Coot pursues Diana even while working to prevent more nuclear
catastrophes.
Bill
Griffeth has long been interested in such nuclear policy issues as
non-proliferation, strategic arms reduction, and nuclear test bans. A
mathematician by training and a software engineer by choice, Dr. Griffeth
retired from software engineering in 2010 to devote himself to writing. Bill
and his wife Nancy have lived in Westfield, New Jersey, since 1987.
