<p><strong>Giuseppe Scarpine is the author of Second Chance- The Adventures of Gianni & Pepina.                      </strong></p>
<p><strong>When the author and his lovely lady are not growing organic produce or cooking and dining gourmet food, you can find them hiking in the Pacific Northwest, the extensive California coastline or the challenging trails throughout Spain.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In his spare time Giuseppe relaxes by grafting fruit trees whilst piddling around as Director of the forty-one acre Conejo Valley Botanic Garden in Thousand Oaks, California.</strong></p>
