It should come as no surprise that Golemon's Event Group is a cast of very real characters. Despite bucking the lone-wolf-protagonist trend of most thrillers, every team still needs a leader. Golemon said that in Major Jack Collins, readers will find someone who is brutally honest, fallible, and striving to do right. True to form, Golemon noted, "He's the epitome of several people I know."

In Primeval, the Event Team, lead by Collins, has to solve a riddle started twenty thousand years ago. When man crossed the land bridge to North America, creatures called They Who Follow made the great trek as well. But once in the new continent, the giant beasts disappeared, whether into hiding or extinction, no one knew. Centuries later, evidence from the night of the Romanovs' execution turns up in a rare bookstore. As the U.S. and Russians vie for the truth, and the lost Romanov treasure, they collide with a prehistoric predator thought long-extinct.

Golemon's bio noted that his love of writing is second only to love of research. "I love doing my prologues. To put down an actual event on paper, and tweaking it just a little bit with the possibility of 'Hey, this could have happened,' and to do it in a way that's believable, are some of my favorite scenes."

Despite being a history buff, Golemon's future has him excited, too. In addition to the release of Primeval in July, Macmillan is releasing his New York Times bestseller, Leviathan, in August in paperback. In addition, his latest, Legacy will be released in April 2011. While the details are best left for a future issue of The Big Thrill, Golemon said the novel will end up about 620 pages, comprised three years worth of research with NASA and DARPA, and that "It's not your normal Event Group novel."

Born and raised in Chino, California, Golemon has raised three children, Shaune, Brandon and Katie Anne, and just celebrated the birth of his first grandchild, Kiera. After spending many years in Loveland, Colorado, he now makes his home on Long Island, New York. His novels include: Event, Legend, Ancients, Leviathan, Primeval and Legacy (scheduled for release in 2011).

Dan Levy works from his Lincoln, Nebraska home as a freelance writer for the aviation and financial industries. His first novel, THE BLOWDOWN LIMIT, is an aviation-thriller winging its way in search of representation and publication. Bestselling author Jon Land noted, "Dan Levy's THE BLOWDOWN LIMIT reminded me of Michael Crichton's AIRFRAME and Thomas Block's MAYDAY in all the right ways. Levy pilots his tale in a smooth and seasoned fashion that will make this the next book to make people think twice before flying the friendly skies."
