Hubert Pedroli is a financial services industry consultant and an avid armchair pilot who once flew his Cessna 172 under the Arc de Triomphe.* As a teenager, while still living in his native country of France, he read a book about UFOs and became convinced that the aliens would officially land and introduce themselves at the United Nations within a year. The aliens did not land, at least not officially, and he more or less gave up on the subject for many years. A chance encounter with a website full of UFO enthusiasts once again sparked his interest in the subject a few years ago.

 

The Joyrider is Hubert Pedroli’s first novel. He and his wife Mary and their Golden Retriever, Scottie, live in New York’s Hudson Valley, the site of a massive and well-documented UFO wave in the early 1980s. He is currently working on his next tale, which tackles a very different but equally unfathomable and elusive subject…the game of golf!
