This is a non-fiction book from Adams Media, co-written with my wife, graphic designer, Melissa Martin Ellis. It was released in February of 2008.
It's a comprehenisve guide to the burgeoning field of the graphic narrative, providing all the steps to necessary to produce a graphic novel. It showcases a considerable amount of artwork by such great comics' artists and luminaries as Jim Mooney, Darryl Banks, Don Heck, and many others.
It was great working with editor Lisa Laing at Adams.

Cryptozoica is a contemporary thriller, blending elements popularized by the TV series Lost, with speculative science and the exotic high adventure which are the hallmarks of my Outlanders series.
When a group of people are trapped on an island in the South China Seas, they find themselves not only engaged in a battle for survival, but also entangled in a web of ancient conspiracy that holds the final, terrifying truth of the origins of life on Earth.
Cryptozoica is my take on the classic Lost World theme, with strong scientific underpinnings. Shortly after visiting a dinosaur exhibition at the Museum of Natural History in NYC, I asked myself : “What if an honest-to-God lost world, a real-life version of Skull Island was actually discovered—not 100 years or 70 years ago, but right now? What effect would such a discovery have on the world’s scientific disciplines and religious beliefs?”
Aside from the scientific theory and philosophy, Cryptozoica is a stage for all the trademarks that have made Outlanders so popular for so many years--blazing action, adventure in exotic climes, secret societies, suspense, beautiful heroines, femme fatales, colorful heroes, ruthless villains, and some really bad-ass dinosaurs.

What if the lost civilizations of ancient Earth were never really lost—they were just displaced? On the planet Nibiru (AKA Nemesis), Atlantis, Lemuria and the Rama Empire all co-exist.
As fascinating as that seems, Nibiru is bearing down on Earth’s place in the solar system, as it was prophesied to do thousands of years ago. Earth has been living on borrowed time—and now the time is up.
When a United Nations special ops team travels to Nibiru in order to alter its world-destroying course, they find a wilderness of strange cultures and animals sampled from many different epochs of Earth’s history. Hidden somewhere in the vastness of this extraterrestrial twin of Terra lies the answer to how this was accomplished—and the terrifying force that perpetrated it.

The Lilith Reliquary explores the mysterious realms that haunt humanity's deepest memories––and the secrets of the forgotten past which mold our religious beliefs and perhaps even the future of the planet.
A group of investigators find themselves entangled in a web of ancient conspiracy and prophecy that reveals the final, terrifying truth of the Holy Grail and the bloodline of Jesus...and how the ancient legends of Lilith, the vampiric first wife of Adam, is linked directly to Mary Magadelene and the cult of the Black Madonna.
