New York Times Bestselling Author Steve Berry

Steve Berry lives on the Georgia coast. He still practices a little law, and also serves as one of five members of the Camden County Board of Commissioners. He’s been writing since 1990, and though his undergraduate degree was in political science, it was Steve's interest in history that led to him writing international suspense thrillers. He has six books in print, The Amber Room, The Romanov Prophecy, The Third Secret, The Templar Legacy, The Alexandria Link, and The Venetian Betrayal which have been New York Times, USA Today, and Publisher’s Weekly bestsellers. His next one, The Charlemagne Pursuit, comes December, 2008. Steve is also an international bestseller. His books appear in 43 countries and 42 languages. Nearly 7,000,000 copies are in print worldwide.
