Graham Brown
Bio
Graham Brown grew up in Illinois, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, moving often with his family. As far as he knows they weren't in the witness protection program or part of any top secret government agency - but then - would they really tell him?
Graham went to college in Arizona, earning a degree in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona and went on to get a law degree from Arizona State College of Law in Tempe.
A former pilot and lawyer and later part of a start up health care firm, Graham decided he hadn't had enough different careers yet and decided to become a writer.
A huge fan of Michael Crichton, Stephen King and television shows like the X-files and Lost, Graham's first novel Black Rain was a adventure thriller, steeped in suspense. Debuting in January 2010, it's plot melded the quest for cold fusion with the Mayan creation legend from the ancient text of the Popul Vuh - writings that are basically the Mayan version of Genesis.
The main characters in Black Rain are Danielle Laidlaw - a government operative forced to take over a mission she wants nothing to do with, Professor Michael McCarter, a university scholar reeling from the death of his wife and a mercenary named Hawker, who once worked for the CIA, ruined his life and - at least initially - thinks he is willing to do anything they ask to get back in their good graces.
Black Sun, Graham's second book and the sequel to Black Rain comes out on August 31st. It follows Hawker, Danielle and McCarter as they race to stop an apocalypse associated with the Mayan prophecy of 2012.
As quoted in an interview Graham said: "I know its not the first 2012 book on the market but I think we've managed to take most of what people expect out of a 2012 book and turn it upside down. Our tag lines is: 2012 - forget everything you think you know."
Graham recently signed a contract with Random House for the third book in the series.
Graham has spent the better part of the last 21 years in the deserts of Arizona and southern California. He mistakenly went back to Philadelphia one winter and vows never to do that again. He does however follow the Philadelphia Eagles and bleeds Eagles green when they lose. Like many Eagles fans he will soon need a transfusion, but he believes they will win the Super Bowl some day and he intends to be there when it happens.
Graham currently lives in Tucson, Arizona.

The author - looking suspiciously like a game show host.
