DeMille has also written under the names Jack Cannon, '''Kurt Ladner''', and '''Brad Matthews'''. DeMille often uses Long Island as a setting in his novels, for example in ''The Gold Coast'', ''Plum Island'', ''Word of Honor'', and ''Night Fall''. His most recent novels have followed two main characters, John Corey and Paul Brenner. At first, the story lines were completely separate, but there have been hints in the novels that they are part of a larger "DeMille Universe" that references events and characters in earlier novels, such as "The Gold Coast" and "The Charm School."
