His works include two history books, a biography, and six novels. His novels range from a fantasy about dinosaurs, historical novels about fifteenth century England (a series), stories about the life and times of American baby boomers (a series), and a science fiction novel about invaders of Earth in 4300 BC. His current work is a true-life story about the struggles of a woman who was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer, who was given 4 months to live, and what it took to overcome that death sentence. He is also working on a continuation of his two series, and at the same time is nearing completion of a comprehensive three-volume work on fifteenth century England. Mr. Baumgaertner is a retired civil engineer. He lives with his wife, Kathy, in Raleigh, North Carolina.view less
