He lives in rural Indiana with his wife Kim and son Connor.
Book Synopsis for Descendant: Descendant is a supernatural thriller filled with daring action, adventure, and artifice set against the backdrop of a very familiar world – but it is a world in which preternatural entities, clandestine magical orders, ancient bloodlines, and unholy alliances converge within the shadowed recesses of our darkest imaginings.
Federal Agents Selina Wolfe and Martin Crowe are called in to investigate a series of bizarre deaths in a small rural community. What first seems to be a misadventure involving black magic and satanic ritual soon takes on even more deleterious overtones, as the agents become embroiled in a plot by a sinister cabal intent on unleashing Hell on Earth.

If
you found yourself stranded in any supernatural/horror story (or TV show or
movie), which one would you prefer it to be, and why?
What a great question... I think, push
come to shove, I would want to end up in Katherine Kurtz Adept stories.
Are you familiar?
Lammas Night (1983)
The Adept (1991) w/ Deborah Turner Harris
The Lodge of the Lynx (1992) w/ Deborah
Turner Harris
The Templar Treasure (1993) w/ Deborah
Turner Harris
Dagger Magic (1995) w/ Deborah Turner
Harris
"Obligations" Tales of the Knights Templars
(1995)
Death of an Adept (1996) w/ Deborah Turner
Harris
"Restitution" On Crusade: More Tales of the Knights Templar (1998)
"Restitution" On Crusade: More Tales of the Knights Templar (1998)
Excluding Lammas Night, the stories' main protagonist is a
psychiatrist, Dr. Adam Sinclair, who is an occult detective of sorts, locked in
a war of good versus evil as heir to magical powers and knowledge handed down
from the ancients. The series is a terrific blend of historical fiction, occult
thriller, and detective mysteries.
Kurtz (and Harris) masterfully construct a world not unlike
our own, but populated by magical orders wielding white and black magic, in a
mystical game of chess. Sinclair is erudite and resourceful, and the authors
are quite knowledgeable about Freemasonry, ritual magic, and various psychic
and magical practices that really make the books come alive, especially if
you're well-versed in these sort of things.
It's positively criminal that these books are not more
widely read and I can't recommend them highly enough.
