Bill Dietrich often deals with events of historical significance. He wrote about the eruption of Mount St. Helens as a reporter for The Columbian in 1980 and later won a Pulitzer Prize for his Exxon Valdez oil spill coverage while working for the Seattle Times.
He has continued to embrace history in many of his nine novels, including his latest, "Napoleon's Pyramids," which was released this week.
In this latest book, Dietrich sets his story during Napoleon Bonaparte's excursion to Egypt.
