BiographyWhen Rob MacGregor enrolled at the University of Minnesota in the late 1960s, he planned to study archaeology. But he ended up majoring in journalism, and over the next dozen years worked as a reporter and editor. He never gave up his interest in ancient civilizations and between jobs and on vacations he explored archaeological sites in Mexico, Central and South America, Europe and North Africa. Those experiences would later come in handy when he wrote six original Indiana Jones novels for LucasFilm and Bantam Books. In the mid-1980s, Rob and his wife, Trish (T.J.), turned to fulltime freelance magazine writing and scratched out a living while working on novels. Within a couple of years, both were published authors. After finishing his first novel, Crystal Skull, Rob adapted the script for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and went on to write half a dozen more Indy novels, all set in the 1920s. He later wrote two mysteries: Prophecy Rock, winner of the Edgar Allan Poe Award in the young adult category in 1996, and Hawk Moon, which was a finalist for the same award the following year. By 2006, Rob had published 17 novels and 10 non-fiction books. He’d collaborated with George Lucas, Peter Benchley, and Billy Dee Williams. His non-fiction books focused on exploration of the far reaches of the mind and body. They include several books on dreams and dream interpretation, divination and astrology, the sixth sense and yoga. In addition to writing, Rob teaches yoga, based on his own system called Astro-Yoga. |
