He’s adopted by his mentor, Albert Hawking, a brilliant, physically damaged detective who helped create a secret steampunk branch of the real-life Pinkerton Agency that operates from a gadgetry-filled underground headquarters in the heart of Manhattan. Born in the Bronx, he has spent time in the big city and the suburbs, and now lives in western Massachusetts with his wife, fellow writer Sarah. He has written graphic novels in the The X-Files and Nancy Drew series, as well as science fiction and horror.
