Year: 2013

We’ve written together as screenwriters for years. So we already had a long established rapport. Still, dialogue is different from prose. In a screenplay you can split up characters and give them each distinctive voices. In a book the dialogue is minimal. So going in, the challenge was to make what we wrote individually seem like a seamless part of a whole.

JORDAN JACOBS’ love of mummies, castles, and Indiana Jones led to his first archaeological excavation at age 13 in California’s Sierra Nevada. His novels Samantha Sutton and the Labyrinth of Lies and Samantha Sutton and the Winter of the Warrior Queen were inspired by his work at Chavín de Huántar, Peru and in England.
