Allan Cole is a best-selling author, screenwriter and former
prize-winning newsman who brings a rich background in travel and
personal experience to his imaginative work. Raised in Europe and the
Far East, Cole attended thirty-two schools and visited or lived in as
many countries. He recalls hearing The Tempest for the first time as a
child sitting on an ancient fortress wall in Cyprus - the island
Shakespeare may have had in mind when he wrote the play. Rejecting
invitations to become a CIA operative like his father, Cole became an
award-winning investigative reporter and editor who dealt with
everything from landmark murder cases to thieving government officials.
Since that time he's concentrated on books and film. His novels include
the landmark science fiction series, "Sten," the highly-praised fantasy
trilogy, "Tales Of The Timuras," and the Vietnam war classic, "A
Reckoning For Kings." Allan has sold more than a hundred television
dramas, ranging from "Quincy" and "The Rockford Files" to "Walker,
Texas Ranger." He lives in Boca Raton, Florida, with his wife,
Kathryn.
