VJ Books Presents Author Douglas Clegg!
Douglas Clegg was born in Virginia, but by the time he was five had lived in Hawaii and Connecticut, as well. After taking up writing at the age of eight, he didn't sit down to write his first novel until he was in his late 20s.
Since then, he's seen more than 20 novels published and more than 45 short stories. Under his pen name, Andrew Harper, he's written three novels in a serial about a hospital for the criminally insane. In 1999, his first short story collection, The Nightmare Chronicles, won both the Bram Stoker Award and the International Horror Guild Award. Also, in 1999, he pioneered the use of the internet with fiction when he launched the world's first publisher-sponsored eserial novel, called Naomi, which went on to sell both hardcover and paperback. In 2005, this second collection, The Machinery of Night, won a Shocker Award from the readers at Shocklines.com.
Various novels and novellas have been optioned for the movies, and he's written horror, suspense, and fantasy fiction. In 2005, his novel, The Priest of Blood, hit the New York Times extended list.
He currently lives on the coast of New England with Raul Silva, his partner and civilly-unioned spouse. As a team, they run the home book business -- although Doug does all the writing. Still, as with any home business, his partner does the "everything else," that allows Doug to keep writing the fiction -- including research, office management, story consulting, and more.
