Harold Livingston is the author of eight published novels, including The Coasts of The Earth, a Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship Award winner, and Ride A Tiger, a N.Y. Times best-seller. He also has written some one hundred television shows (among them, ten episodes of "Mission Impossible") and seven feature films, including Star Trek-The Motion Picture. He was born and raised in Haverhill, Massachusetts, and served in the U.S. Army Air Force in World War II, and the U.S. Air Force in the Korean War. Additionally, he was one of the original American volunteer pilots in the Israel Air Force in their 1948 War of Independence, as noted in his recently published memoir of that experience, No Trophy, No Sword. He resides now in Westlake Village, California, spending too much of his time, as he says, gazing out at the lake.
