Writing a novel is always a challenge. Writing a biography is even more difficult. It’s damn hard. Why? Because it’s all about me. And my writing is really all about you, the reader. So here’s a short story. I was born in North Carolina in the foothills of the mountains. I love history and have traveled to many parts of the world to find and understand the cornerstones of historical events and places. I’ve spent most of my adult life doing some form of journalism—writing for newspapers, television news and magazines. I write and produce television programs, screenplays and documentaries. Some of my work has aired on PBS and the Travel Channel.
My first published novel was A FALSE DAWN. It was followed by THE 24th LETTER. Both books were published by St. Martins Press. They are part of the Sean O’Brien series. The next in the series includes THE BUTTERFLY FOREST and THE BLACK BULLET. Two stand-alone novels , GRAVITY, and THE CROSSING will be available soon.
My outdoor passion is the sea. I lived on a sailboat at one time. I love almost any kind of boating. I’ve traveled to some remote stretches of the planet to SCUBA dive, too. The other diving I’ve done is from an airplane. I’ve made more than my share of skydiving jumps. I enjoy good friends, gourmet cooking, wine and hand-crafted beers. I have four grown children, and I live with my wife, Keri and our two dachshunds, Sadie and Barley. The two states I’ve called home are Michigan and Florida.
