I think a love of writing must be a genetic requirement for entry into my family. My Father, William Reed, is the author of several books including the ghosted biography of movie director John Huston and the award winning biography of Olaf Wieghorst. My sister, PL Wallinger-Reed has written several novels and my dad and I together penned the Borders Best Book Tarzan, My Father on behalf of the late Johnny Weissmuller, Jr. and Crazy Ivan, A True Story of Submarine Espionage. Since then, I've started writing thriller novels and DNA, a new thriller that poses answers to a controversial topic: Intelligent Design or Darwin's Evolution?  I'm also a panel member of the International Thriller Writers and California Writers Club. Leveraging my non-fiction background, I specialize in writing fact-based-fiction that thrills, informs and challenges the soul.
