I am a graphic artist. My work is based on photography and I am also a writer of historical novels, specializing in the Victorian era with a strong emphasis on the historical connections between that  time and this. I began writing by working with my late father, Alvin Schwartz, who wrote Superman and Batman comics for more than twenty years. Starting very early, about age six, I plotted comic book stories then moved on to writing film, advertising and fiction ranging from young person's novels to my current historical novels. In addition to telling a good yarn, I like to use an historical perspective to comment on modern issues. I am presently working on an illustrated novel that brings together many of my interests. It is called, "Tales of the Elder."  Like my historical novels, it is a commentary on many of today's current events, especially the attitude toward people over fifty in our society and how it compares to that of other times and places. But it is also a good story that brings together, spiritual and psychological points of view, ranging from Tibetan Buddhism to the work of G.I. Gurdjieff. First and foremost, I am interested in story and how we can give birth to new worlds and people.
