Yes, I have a lot of books, and if this is your first visit to my amazon author page, it can be a little overwhelming. If you are new to my work, let me recommend a few titles as good places to start. I love my Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series, humorous horror/mysteries, which begin with DEATH WARMED OVER. My steampunk fantasy adventures, CLOCKWORK ANGELS and CLOCKWORK LIVES, written with Neil Peart, legendary drummer from Rush, are two of my very favorite novels ever. And my magnum opus, the science fiction epic The Saga of Seven Suns, begins with HIDDEN EMPIRE. After you've tried those, I hope you'll check out some of my other series.

I have written spin-off novels for Star Wars, StarCraft, Titan A.E., and The X-Files, and I'm the co-author ...more

New Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I.

Many of you know me for the Star Wars or Dune universes. I also have my very fun and popular Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series— like The Naked Gun meets the Addams Family.

Shamble’s next adventure, “Fire in the Hole,” is the cover story of L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 39 Writers of the Future 39. This was a cool, unique project—the story is inspired by the amazing cover art, a Read more of this blog post »

Kevin answered Todd Jordan's question: With the success of shows like Fallout and The Last of Us making post-apocalyptic futures trending and special effects that weren't available 30 years ago when you wrote it, do you think Ill Wind could ever be adapted to live action? Man, I hope so, but nobody has been expressing any interest.

Kevin answered Franz Bazar's question: Hi Kevin, are you any relation to the great Poul Anderson? No, but I knew him pretty well. In fact, he and Karen even came to my wedding with Rebecca 33 years ago.

“Scully,' [Mulder] said, his voice quiet and serious, 'with the... unorthodox explanations I often find when studying the evidence, I know you're always skeptical-but every time you're at least fair to me. You respect my opinion, even when you don't agree with it.' He looked at his hands. 'I don't know if I've ever told you, but I really appreciate that.'
She looked at him and smiled. 'You've told me, Mulder. Maybe not in words... but you've told me.”
