Writing As Donn Cortez
As Donn Cortez, he took a darker turn for The Closer, a hard-edged story about a serial killer hunting other serial killers. His follow-up, The Man Burns Tonight (set at Burning Man) was written in his more light-hearted style.
He has also contributed several short stories and non-fiction articles to numerous publications, writing on such diverse subjects as Angel, Firefly, The Golden Compass, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, CSI:Miami, King Kong, X-Men, Wonder Woman, Star Wars, and Star Trek.
Beginning in 2005, Cortez was contracted to write the tie-in novels for both the original CSI series, and it's spin-off CSI:Miami. The final volume in his run, Dark Sundays, was released in early 2010.
A sequel to The Closer, titled Remote was published in 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word writing:
“All the critics who could not make their reputations by discovering you are hoping to make them by predicting hopefully your approaching impotence, failure and general drying up of natural juices. Not a one will wish you luck or hope that you will keep on writing unless you have political affiliations in which case these will rally around and speak of you and Homer, Balzac, Zola and Link Steffens.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
