This was followed by The Sorcerer’s Letterbox, The Clone Conspiracy, The Emerald Curse, The Heretic’s Tomb, The Doomsday Mask, The Time Camera, The Sphere of Septimus, Future Imperfect, An Untimely Death, and The Order of Excalibur novels. He’s also the author of the Flashback series, the Shadowzone series, and The Stone of the Seer series. In addition, he’s the author of The Children’s Writer’s Guide, The Working Writer’s Guide, The Time Traveler’s Guide, and has written many non-fiction books.
