Overview

I’m an award-winning novelist, author of both fiction (mysteries and adventure novels) and non-fiction books.

I’ve worked with George Lucas, (seven Indiana Jones novels), Peter Benchley, and Billy Dee Williams...among many others in projects.

I’m best known for authoring seven Indiana Jones novels for LucasFilm and Bantam Books. My most recent novel is TULPAS. I also write non-fiction books on mysteries of the unknown, such as the Bermuda Triangle, and self-help books, including among many others: The 7 Secrets of Synchronicity, and Secrets of Spirit Communication. My young adult mystery, Prophecy Rock, won the Edgar Allan Poe Award and it’s sequel, Hawk Moon, was a finalist for the same award.
