Graham, is the bestselling, award-winning author of more than a dozen novels including the Sebastian St. Cyr Regency mystery series written under the name C.S. Harris, the new C.S. Graham thriller series, and seven historical romances. She is also the author of a nonfiction historical study of the French Revolution. Her books are available worldwide and have been translated into over twenty different languages.
Lt. Colonel Steven Harris, who writes as the other half of C.S. Harris, spent more than two decades as an Army Intelligence officer. THE ARCHANGEL PROJECT, written in collaboration with Candice Proctor, is his first book. Set to be released by Harper Collins in September 2008, THE ARCHANGEL PROJECT was inspired by actual classified programs the U.S. Government once pursued to train operatives.
