Ah, and how did he live for 500 years?

No, I wasn't on the movie set. I was busy writing the book. His face, tho, is on the cover of seven of my novels. With each one, his image got bigger and bigger, until his face filled the cover.

Go to my web site and send me an e-mail.

I thought it was moderately good. It's amazing it was even made after all these years. While they were filming it, they tried to keep the story a secret. I was at LucasFilm headquarters working on another project, a book called Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings--now known as the Lost Indiana Jones novel - and they wouldn't tell me what the movie was about. Finally, one of the guys couldn't keep a secret and gave me the details. I remember thinking, 'Hey, wait a minute. I wrote a novel, Crystal Skull. But it was a lot different from the movie.

You should try to write something every day. Also, write what you know about...except, don't write about being a writer. That's a no-no for beginning writers. Stephen King can get away with it, creating characters who are writers. But he's Stephen King.

I studied journalism and mass communications in college, although my initial plans were to study archaeology. But I soon found out there were very few jobs for archaeologists. So instead I took up journalism, and traveled overseas quite a bit after college. I was always attracted to the ruins of ancient civilizations in Mexico, Central and South America, and Europe, especially Greece. I worked for awhile as a travel writer, so I traveled free sometimes. So if I wasn't a writer, maybe I would like to be a college prof and archaeologist. Hey, who does that sound like? lol
