Douglas Preston writes fiction, non-fiction and works as a journalist.

In the course of his journalistic profession Preston has explored lost temples in the jungles of Cambodia, been the first to enter a tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, and ridden on horseback across thousands of miles of the American Southwest-which earned him membership in the elite "Long Riders Guild. He also writes fiction as part of the team of Preston & Child.  Their books include The Cabinet of Curiosities, Blue Labyrinth and The Obsidian Chamber. Preston's most recent nonfiction book, The Lost City of the Monkey God, tells the true story of the discovery of an ancient, Pre-Columbian city in an unexplored valley deep in the Mosquitia Mountains of Honduras.
