VJ Books Presents Author Douglas Preston!
 Douglas Preston was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1956, and grew up in the nearby suburb of Wellesley. He attended Pomona College, and studied a wide variety of subjects before deciding to major in English Literature. Following graduation, Preston worked at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, writing, editing, and managing publications.
During his time at the museum, he was commissioned to write a book on the history of the museum by Lincoln Child, then an editor at St. Martin's Press. The resulting volume, Dinosaurs in the Attic was published in 1986, and began a working relationship between Child and Preston.
Preston moved to Santa Fe to begin writing full time. He published his first novel, Jennie, in 1994, and a year later, he and Child published a collaborative novel, Relic (1995), which became hugely successful. Since then, the two have become one of the world's best-selling writing teams. Preston has also written numerous meticulously-researched non-fiction titles, and two series of novels written solo. You can discover a collection of Douglas Preston signed books as well as a bibliography of the author's work below this biography.
Preston's alma mater granted him an honorary Doctor of Letter in 2011. He was Co-President of International Thriller Writers and serves on the Board of Governors of the Authors Guild. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a member of the Long Rider's Guild.
Preston now lives part time in New Mexico and part time in Maine.
