Terry Ganey is a best-selling author and free-lance writer. As a journalist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in investigative reporting. Ganey's two non-fiction books have appeared on the New York Times Best Seller List: --"Under the Influence, the Unauthorized Story of the Anheuser-Busch Dynasty" (with Peter Hernon) chronicles five generations of a family that controlled the largest brewing company in the world. First published by Simon and Schuster, Business Week described the book as a "Dallas-sized saga of sex scandals, family feuds, and a closetful of other skeletons." The book spent eight weeks on the Times' best seller list. Avon books later brought out the trade paperback. Dan Okrent, the author of "Last Call, the Rise and Fall of Prohibition," has said "Under the Influence" is "unquestionably the finest book on the American beer industry." A new, updated edition of "Under the Influence" is now available as an e-book. --"St. Joseph's Children, a True Story of Terror and Justice," recounts the case of an innocent man sent to prison for a child murder committed by a serial killer. A courageous FBI agent reverses the injustice while putting the serial killer in prison. The Library Journal called the story "a gripping tale of murder, pursuit, and justice." Originally published by Lyle Stuart, the paperback edition was published by St. Martin's under the title "Innocent Blood," and appeared on the Times best seller list. A former Associated Press correspondent, Ganey was the projects editor for the Columbia Daily Tribune. As a journalist, he focused on government and politics, the criminal justice system, higher education, insurance and military affairs. His disclosures of Missouri's Second Injury Fund scandal helped send seven men to federal prison and produced $1.6 million in restitution for the state. In 2003, he covered U.S. Army operations in Iraq and reported on the chaos that existed in Baghdad. More recently, his free-lance work has been published by the Associated Press, the Chicago Tribune and the St. Louis Beacon. Ganey is the St. Louis editor of the Gateway Journalism Review, a quarterly magazine that covers the media in the Midwest. He also is a visiting professor of journalism at Southern Illinois University and a part-time instructor at the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
