California writer C.D. Payne is the author of over a dozen humorous novels that have won a large cult following around the world. His best-known work, "Youth in Revolt: The Journals of Nick Twisp," was the basis of a 2010 film. From Weinstein Films, it starred Michael Cera, Steve Buscemi, Justin Long, Ray Liotta, and Jean Smart. Besides "Miracle in a Can" (just published), Payne's recent novels include "Revolt at the Beach" (book 8 in the Twisp series) and "Cheeky Swimsuits of 1957." The latter is the story of a young Yale grad (class of '57) who wants to be a filmmaker, but winds up in Ukiah running a small company that makes bathing suits for women with problem figures. Payne has made two trips to the Czech Republic and Slovakia where his novels are immensely popular. He is a native of Ohio (born in 1949 in Akron) and a graduate of Harvard College.
