Tom Seligson

I am an author, television producer, and journalist. My latest book - “King of Hearts” - is my sixth book and fourth novel. My previous novels include “Stalking,” “Doubles,” and “Kidd.” “Kidd”was bought by Walt Disney as a source for the film franchise, “National Treasure,” and “National Treasure: Book of Secrets.” My non-fiction books are “The High School Revolutionaries,” and “To Be Young in Babylon.” Neither of those sold to the movies.

Writing novels can be lonely, and I became a television producer to get out of the house. For ten years, I was an Executive Producer at CBS News Productions, where I supervised the production of more than 300 hours of programming for A&E, The History Channel, Discovery, Discovery Health, TLC, Showtime, MTV, and other cable channels.

The shows earned me some awards, which is always nice. I won Emmys for “What’s so Funny About New York?” “Inside Flight 93,” and “The Google Boys.” I won Emmy nominations for “Crime Beat,” “Faces of Kosovo,” “The 9/11 Commission Report,” and “Tsunami: Waves of Death.” The Tsunami show also won a New York Festival Gold World Metal Award, and a Cine Golden Eagle Award. My show “Betrayal: The Battle of Warsaw” won a Cine Golden Eagle Award, and First Prize in the Houston World Film Festival.

As a journalist, I was a Contributing Editor to Parade Magazine. I have also written for “The New York Times,” “The Village Voice,” “Look,” “Glamour,” “Self,” “Mademoiselle,” “Redbook,” “American Health,” and the “Los Angeles Times Syndicate.”

But I'm back writing novels, and think "King of Hearts" is my best to date.
