History of Jur

The Jur novels came about during slow night shifts in France. Around 1965 I was a squad leader for a bunch of Army MPs in Southern France. At night, while working the desk and my patrols were keeping law and order, to pass the time I created plots and characters attempting to write fiction. Nothing became of my interest in writing until 1970, after a tour in the jungle of Vietnam, and those plots came back to me. I wrote the first two novels during that year, and sent the first to publishers. Basically, my main characters were an Army Green Beret and a French archaeologist, who accidentally fall through a time tunnel to the Jurassic Period. When the first novel didn’t go anywhere I set the manuscripts aside. James Reasoner suggested I change the Green Beret and set the beginning after the Stock Market Crash of ’29. The rest is history. The sequence of the novels are: “Jur: A Story of Pre Dawn Earth”, “Savage Land of Jur”, “Lost Land of Jur”, “Queen of Jur”, “Treasure of Jur”, and “Drums of Jur”. "Pangaea: Eden's Planet" actually takes place in the Permian Period, prior to the Jurassic, but it is the story that truly begins the JUR series.

A Story of Pre Dawn Earth


The giant saber-toothed cat continued its pursuit of Odette as she tripped and fell. Aaron moved forward on his unsteady perch and suddenly felt his balance desert him. He stumbled sideways off the high limb, directly into the path of the bounding saber-tooth!

Through the high thrills of adventure and the adrenalin-pumping lows of terror, two young people lost in a prehistoric world must unite in their fight to survive – and find a love like no other!

Cover by Teresa Tunaley, and published by NTD on Amazon Kindle. It’s  available for $3.99.
