I grew up on Air Force bases in Tennessee, Maine, Oklahoma, and Arizona. I was educated at the University of Oregon, University of Kentucky, University of Bordeaux, and Harvard University where I obtained my Ph.D. in anthropology (figured that was enough of the education thing). I have directed archaeological research projects in Central America, France, Polynesia, and North America (Massachusetts, Kentucky, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington). I have authored over fifty scientific papers; blogs, book reviews, technical monographs and papers presented at scientific society meetings. The Nine Lords of the Night is my first novel, and I am hard at work on two sequels (in my copious spare time).
