Derek van Crowninshield is a specialist in security and international law who has consulted with global corporate and government organizations on issues ranging from terrorism to transportation safety. Correspondingly his clients have ranged from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to European transportation governing agencies. Derek van Crowninshield also devotes considerable time to writing and is the author of white papers on security issues, such as Coastal Shipping Security on the Adriatic Sea (2004) for a joint Italy-Yugoslavia government effort to detect and control the commerce in illegal materials from the Former Soviet Union to member nations of the European Union along Adriatic smuggling routes. He is also a novelist who has written several books based, in part, on his professional experience. Among these is Gold Plated Magnum (1999) and Jumper (2001) which were published by Black Eyes Press.
Members of the van Crowninshield family emigrated to the United States from the Netherlands at the end of the 18th century and soon established themselves in a variety of occupations, including that of writing. Derek currently divides the bulk of his time between a flat in London and the city of his birth, New York.
