Biographical and Professional Information

 

W. Michael Gear, who holds a master's degree in archaeology with a specialty in physical anthropology, has worked as a professional archaeologist/anthropologist since 1978. He is currently principal investigator for Wind River Archaeological Consultants. With his wife, Kathleen O'Neal Gear, he has written the international and USA Today bestselling North America's Forgotten Past Series and Anasazi Mystery Series. Frustrated by the historical inaccuracies found in many Western novels, Mike includes an element of (correct) anthropological theory in each of his own books.
