Bio
Craig is married with two grown kids. He takes advantage of the California seasons, bodysurfing at the coast (inspiring the town “San Malo” in Seven Clocks) and hiking in the mountains of Big Bear (general setting for both Falling Off the Mountain and The Lodge at Fear Summit).
Craig is a relative of acclaimed nineteenth century poet & writer Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
When Craig was a kid, horror movie icon Lon Chaney, Jr. (the Wolfman, Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy) moved in across the street—and Craig used to mow his lawn.
When not writing, he loves learning of other cultures through traveling, which in turn gives him more stories to tell.
Craig has visited Japan, Russia, South America, the Mideast, Vietnam, Italy & Greece—as well as many states in the U.S., including Texas (the Galveston Bay area inspired the storm-ridden fictional town “Thunderclap” in his Touch series).
