Testosterone Planet - About the Author

James O'Reilly, president and publisher of Travelers Tales, wrote mystery serials before becoming a travel writer in the early 1980s. In 1985 he and coauthor Larry Habegger began a syndicated newspaper column, "World Travel Watch," which still appears monthly throughout the USA. He's visited more than 40 countries, along the way meditating with monks in Tibet, participating in West African voodoo rituals, and hanging out the laundry with the nuns in Florence. He travels extensively with his wife, Wenda, and their three daughters. They live in Palo Alto, California, when they're not in Leavenworth, Washington.

Larry Habegger, executive editor at Travelers Tales, was born in Minnesota and attended Dartmouth College, where he and James O'Reilly first worked together as late night disc jockeys. He began writing about travel in 1980, his travels taking him to nearly 50 countries, and writing mystery serials for the San Francisco Examiner. He is coauthor, with James O'Reilly, of "World Travel Watch," a syndicated column, which since 1985 has appeared in major newspapers and five countries. He lives on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco with his family.

Sean O'Reilly is a former seminarian, stockbroker, and prison instructor who lives in Arizona with his wife, Brenda, and their four boys. He's had a life-long interest in consciousness and theology, and is at work on a book that makes the proposition that classic Greek, Roman, and Christian moral philosophies, allied with post-quantum physics, form the building blocks of a new ethics and psychology. Widely traveled, Sean is editor-at-large and director of international sales for Travelers' Tales.
