As a journalist, Les Picker has cruised on a nuclear attack submarine deep in the Pacific Ocean and has climbed the highest peak in the Pyrenees. He has withstood -50-degree Fahrenheit temperatures in the Arctic and survived 120-degree Fahrenheit temperatures living with a Bedouin tribe in Egypt's Eastern desert. He was chased by a 16-foot alligator in South Africa and his tripod and camera were carried off into the Arctic tundra by a curious Grizzly. Les has more than 650 writing credits in publications that include National Geographic publications, Better Homes & Gardens, Forbes, Time, Inc., Money, and dozens of others. Les was named Best Travel Photographer in the prestigious Canada Northern Lights Award. Les is passionate about his fiction writing. He has written four works of historical fiction and two of general fiction, all receiving an average of 4+ stars on Amazon. Les has published six major novels. The first three are part of his First Dynasty Trilogy which tells the incredible stories of Ancient Egypt's first kings. The First Pharaoh describes the rise to power of King Narmer and his struggles to unite Upper and Lower Egypt under one rule. The Dagger of Isis, traces the rule of the very first woman king, Meryt-Neith. The third volume, Qa’a, describes the life, loves and battles of King Qa’a, the last king of the First Dynasty. Les has also published Sargent Mountain, a work of women's fiction exploring the meaning of love and betrayal and The Underground, about a woman who discovers that her birth mother was brutally murdered when she was a baby. Les' most recent work of historical fiction, MOSES, has been received to high praise and controversy. Based on the most recent archaeological findings and theories, the novel does away with the myths surrounding Moses and the Exodus and gives a bold new interpretation of the man revered by all three Abrahamic religions.
