Gary Knight, member of the Falls Church City Council and vice mayor in the 1980s, has published a work of fiction, entitled Forgotten Brothers. Knight previously wrote a non-profit book entitled How to Treat a Woman, which advises professional men on how to successfully establish meaningful relationships with women.

His latest novel, released in July, is based on factual events and places associated with the voyages of Christopher Columbus and tells the story of Martin and Vicente Pinzon, two brothers who captained the Nina and the Pinta and recounts a history of Columbus’ voyage to the Americas that is different from the depiction in many modern history books.

The work was published by eLectioPublishing and is available for $16.99 on the company’s website, electiopublishing.com.
