Richard D. Weber was formerly Special Agent in Charge of Dignitary Protection with the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service. He protected the late Princess Diana and Prince Charles, the Secretary of State, The Prime Minister of Israel, and Saudi Arabia’s and Jordan’s ambassadors to name but a few. He’s a graduate of University of Wisconsin and a member of HWA and MWA.
Weber currently resides in the DFW Metroplex where he has just completed a new novel, ELVIS AND ME, and is putting the finishing touches on his euro-thriller screenplay THE SAMPSON PROJECT. His current novel, PROTOCOL-17: A CONSPIRACY THRILLER, is a Bram Stoker Award recommended work and has enjoyed top-seller ranking. Another codebreaker book entitled THE VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT might be out later this year.  Also, his thriller Solomon’s Key: the CODIS Project has now been published in 11 languages.
Among other things, Weber has interviewed such notables as Doug Clegg and Tom Piccirilli for publication. He has edited and written for a new anthology, THE BLACK SPIRAL: TWISTED TALES OF TERROR. Some of his feature stories have appeared in BLACK OCTOBER and CTHULHU SEX 17 Vol.II with his latest offering, “Manhunter,” released in MIDNIGHT POSSE.

Mr. Weber was a featured interviewee on the Discovery Channel two hour special HUNTING THE LOST SYMBOL. Since his novel Solomon’s Key: the CODIS Project dealt with similar issues covered in Dan Brown’s new novel such as Freemasonry, the occult history of Washington D.C. and conspiracies within conspiracies , the producers tapped him as a main source of background.

Mr. Weber’s latest book the Voynich Project drops in March 2010. It has already been published in 5 languages and more sales are expected.
