F Paul Wilson


(Francis Paul Wilson)
USA flag (b.1946)

aka Colin Andrews, Mary Elizabeth Murphy

Francis Paul Wilson is an author, born in Jersey City, New Jersey. He writes novels and short stories primarily in the science fiction and horror genres. His debut novel was Healer (1976). Wilson is also a part-time practicing family physician. He made his first sales in 1970 to Analog and continued to write science fiction throughout the seventies. In 1981 he ventured into the horror genre with the international bestseller, The Keep, and helped define the field throughout the rest of the decade. In the 1990s he became a true genre hopper, moving from science fiction to horror to medical thrillers and branching into interactive scripting for Disney Interactive and other multimedia companies. He, along with Matthew J. Costello, created and scripted FTL Newsfeed which ran daily on the Sci-Fi Channel from 1992-1996.

Dance Among the Flames (2022)
Tori Eldridge
"With DANCE AMONG THE FLAMES, Tori Eldridge gifts us with a tale as dark as the holds of the Portuguese slave ships that carried the Yoruba gods from Africa to the New World. A stunningly original novel that breaks new ground with every shocking turn."
thumb
The Bucharest Dossier (2022)
(Bill Hefflin, book 1)
William Maz
"The Bucharest Dossier is compulsively readable . . . William Maz has written a wrenching, action-packed story of love lost and regained as we follow a returning ex-pat in search of his past and the love of his life against the violent backdrop of the Romanian people's revolt against Ceausescu's vicious communist regime."

The Last Commandment (2021)
(Austin Grant of Scotland Yard, book 1)
Scott Shepherd
"A twisty, turny, globetrotting tale filled with mystery and suspense."
