Yes, I have a lot of books, and if this is your first visit to my amazon author page, it can be a little overwhelming. If you are new to my work, let me recommend a few titles as good places to start. I love my Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series, humorous horror/mysteries, which begin with DEATH WARMED OVER. My steampunk fantasy adventures, CLOCKWORK ANGELS and CLOCKWORK LIVES, written with Neil Peart, legendary drummer from Rush, are two of my very favorite novels ever. And my magnum opus, the science fiction epic The Saga of Seven Suns, begins with HIDDEN EMPIRE. After you've tried those, I hope you'll check out some of my other series.

I have written spin-off novels for Star Wars, StarCraft, Titan A.E., and The X-Files, and I'm the co-author of the Dune prequels. My original works include the Saga of Seven Suns series and the Nebula Award-nominated Assemblers of Infinity. I have also written several comic books including the Dark Horse Star Wars collection Tales of the Jedi written in collaboration with Tom Veitch, Predator titles (also for Dark Horse), and X-Files titles for Topps.

I serve as a judge in the Writers of the Future contest.

My wife is author Rebecca Moesta. We currently reside near Monument, Colorado.

If you loved the Star Wars movies, this is a must have book for you! It takes you to many places lime Tatooine, the Death Star, Alderaan and so much more. The illustrations are amazing, the descriptions from Kevin J Anderson take you to these worlds in a way the movies couldn't do! You will find yourself looking through these pages again and again!

This is the definitive Star Wars art book. Filled with master Ralph McQuarrie's inspiring paintings and coupled with Anderson's excellent prose, this is one that any Star Wars fan should have on their shelf. Seriously, if you own just one Star Wars book, make sure this is it.

Of all the Star Wars books (excluding graphic novels) I own, this one is perhaps the one I like the most. It truly is an Expanded Universe book that goes heavily into the Star Wars back story. It covers all the main planets (Tatooine, Hoth, Endor, etc.) from the original trilogy and has beautiful pictures that you can't see anywhere else that I know of. Along with the amazing images, a fictional author writes some kind of report on the planet and its environment that is detailed and surprisingly, makes the place come alive. I'm not sure how easy it is to track this book down nowadays, but it is one of the best ones a Star Wars fan can own.
