About the author

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 of the Dune prequels. My original works include the Saga of Seven Suns series and the Nebula Award-nominated Assemblers of Infinity. I have also written several comic books including the Dark Horse Star Wars collection Tales of the Jedi written in collaboration with Tom Veitch, Predator titles (also for Dark Horse), and X-Files titles for Topps.

I serve as a judge in the Writers of the Future contest.

My wife is author Rebecca Moesta. We currently reside near Monument, Colorado.

UNSURPRISINGLY, I LOVED THIS!!!!!!! EVERYTHING I LOVE ABOUT THE SHOW IS IN THESE STORIES AND I LOVE MY PARENTS FBI AGENTS FOX MULDER & DANA SCULLY!!!!!!!!!! (ALSO, THE BLUE POWER SUIT SCULLY WAS WEARING IN FAMILY PORTRAIT GAVE ME LIFE)

Some really good stories in this volume, ideal for fans of the TV show. The artwork is a lot better than that in volume 1, still not great, but better.

The X-Files: Volume 2 explores new and interesting stories of the paranormal with FBI special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. This collection includes Topps comic’s issues 18-22, featuring the story arcs “Night Lights” and “Family Portrait,” and 2 specials, Wizard’s “Tiptoe Through the Tulpa” and Comic Digest’s “Big Foot, Warm Heart.” With the exception of the Comics Digest issue, the artwork is quite good with fairly consistent character designs. And, the storytelling is pretty strong and the characters are well-written. It can be a bit dark and nihilistic at times, but overall The X-Files: Volume 2 is an entertaining graphic novel that’s full of mystery and intrigue.

A lot of good stories in here!

There's a story with a seemingly intelligent - and very deadly - ball of light.

Another with a Sasquatch.

One with a photographer who has a dark secret as to why he no longer takes photos.

And one with a vengeful ghost.
