Life

Sullivan graduated from college with a BA in English in 1980 . He then worked for two years for the Peace Corps in Agadez , Niger . During this time he also traveled through the Sahara with the nomads there . In 1982 he returned to the United States to study journalism at Northwestern University.

In the following year he started to work as a reporter while studying, from 1984 he wrote several investigative reports, including a. for the New York Times and New York Daily News and gave up his studies completely. In 1986 he moved to San Diego to the local San Diego Tribune. Influenced by his experiences in Africa, he became more and more interested in the cultural backgrounds in which he wrote reports. He focused on this area and wrote about it for the next five years. For his reports he was nominated twice for the Pulitzer Prize , but came away empty-handed. In 1990 Sullivan left San Diego and moved to Utah and Wyoming .

Here he married his wife and had a son for the first time. In 1994, after much preparatory work, his debut novel, "The Fall Line", appears. In the same year he moved to Vermont with his family . In 1995 he published his second novel, "Hard News". His third novel followed in 1997, "The Purification Company", which takes a critical look at hunting as part of the plot. This novel was first published in Germany under the title "Die Jägerin" and, after a new translation, under the title "Panic". Two years later his fourth novel, "Ghost Dance", was available in Germany under the title "Geistertanz".

In the same year he moved with his family to Montana and has lived there with his wife and now two sons since then. He has now published two more novels, and more are planned.
