His novels were known for their historical detail and occasionally graphic content. A third Aztec novel, ''Aztec Blood'', was released after his death. This novel was based on his ideas, approved by his estate and by his editor, but at this point the true author has been kept secret, and the novel credited to Jennings. Jennings' novels are well-researched: he lived for 12 years in Mexico to research the Aztec novels, travelled the Balkans while researching ''Raptor'', and joined nine Circus troupes during the writing of ''Spangle''. He also produced a number of novels for younger readers, such as ''A Rope in the Jungle'' and ''Black Magic, White Magic''. Born September 20 , 1928 in Buena Vista, Virginia , to Glen Edward and Vaughnye May, Gary Jennings attended little formal school after graduating from Eastside High School (of " Lean On Me " fame) in Paterson, New Jersey , and was mostly self-educated thereafter. Jennings passed away on Friday The 13th of February 1999 in Pompton Lakes, NJ . EXTERNAL LINKS
