About the author

I am thrilled to announce that SLAVEMAKERS, the follow-up to my novel INVASIVE SPECIES, will be published by Ace Books on December 1!

Set twenty years after the apocalyptic events of
INVASIVE SPECIES ("You might want to read this one under the bed"--Jack McDevitt), SLAVEMAKERS was a blast to write. I loved being able to use some of the fascinating--not to mention creepy--facts I've learned during my previous career as a writer specializing in science, natural history, and the environment. It's a strange, spooky world out there....

Along with another novel--the historical DIAMOND RUBY--I've contributed mystery/thriller short stories to collections ranging from BRONX NOIR to ICE COLD (edited by Jeffrey Deaver); I was honored when my story "Custom Sets" was selected by Lee Child for inclusion in a BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES anthology.

I hope you'll enjoy!

probably my favorite dinosaur illustration book, the paintings by Brian Franczak are incredible. i'd kill for a full size version of one of his paintings.

An almost complete A-Z field guide of 76 dinosaurs. The guide starts off with a small Introduction before talking about the dinosaurs. On the left side is the information about the dinosaur: Name, summary, physical characteristics Fossil sites, geologic age and even a little skeleton (more on the skeletons in the back). Also in the back is a Family Tree (order-genus, and Time line (which era the dinos belong). On the right a painting of one or more of the animal with a background of how the landscape might of look at that time.
