Author Bio
Mari Bolte was regaled with tales about the combustion engine's greatness as her husband worked toward a degree in Automotive Engineering. Years later, she got to realize this greatness for herself while writing the Amazing Story of the Combustion Engine. She can now appreciate the glory of automotive engineering as she drives across southern Minnesota.
