By trade an archaeologist, Jeremy Hicks teamed up with his friend and co-author, Barry Hayes, to realize a creative dream. The writing team of Hicks & Hayes created an original horror-fantasy environment (Faltyr), wrote a screenplay (The Cycle of Ages Saga: Finders Keepers) to introduce it, and then adapted it into a novelization of the same name. As a result, their first novel will be published by Dark Oak Press and Media in the summer of 2013. As co-founder of Broke Guys Productions, he has co-written three more as-of-yet unproduced screenplays, including the sequel to CoAS: Finders Keepers. He is also a poet.
