Brad Geagley is the author of two critically acclaimed novels, "Day of the False Kings" and "Year of the Hyenas". His new book, "The Stand In" a mystery set in Hollywood in 1957 is available on Kindle, eBooks and iTunes. He has worked for many years as a producer in the entertainment industry. The film that changed Geagley's life -- or at least turned him into an expert on Cleopatra -- was Joseph Mankiewicz's 1963 film starring Elizabeth Taylor in the title role. In fact, Geagley learned so much about the Egyptian ruler that he was asked to contribute to Ken Burns' two-hour AMC documentary, "The Film That Changed Hollywood". Mankiewic was Geagley's mentor at USC film school. Geagley currently teaches screenwriting at Mount San Antonio College in Southern California and lives in Palm Springs.
