    Vincent Watson

    Vincent Watson is a writer of novels, world traveler, photographer and all around jack-of-all-trades. Ok, not all trades, but a pretty reasonable amount of trades.He had published two books, beginning in 2008 with "GoodEnoughGov" a political memoir regarding his stint working for the Minnesota Department of Human Services. GoodEnoughGov highlighted a year at the State where he was asked to perform all sorts of illegal activities, spy on other organizations, provide false data to other departments and the state leadership.As a result of this book, some important rules were changed, people who weren’t doing the jobs they had been hired were asked to leave.His second book, "The Stillness of Winter" has just been published in July of 2014. It is a love story that steps outside of the normal bounds of typical relationships and investigates the "what ifs" that tend to accompany new relationships.
