Acclaimed novelist Douglas Brunt served as CEO of a tech company until he decided to become an author. Now he writes full time and hosts a popular podcast on which he interviews some of the world’s greatest writers — giving a behind-the-scenes look at their creative process. Though he’s best known for his award-winning novels, Douglas’ new work tackles the 100-year-old, real-life mystery of the disappearance of inventor Rudolf Diesel.
Rudolf Diesel was one of the world’s greatest inventors until one of his inventions disrupted the status quo and made him some powerful enemies. He disappeared into thin air on the eve of World War I. What happened to him? Acclaimed writer Douglas Brunt says he has solved the mystery. He speaks with host Dr. Alan Campbell this week on Watching America.
