W.C. Jameson is the award-winning and best-selling author of more than 100 books and over 1,500 articles and essays. In addition, he is an accomplished songwriter and performer, having recorded five albums of his original music and acted in five films. He has written the soundtracks for four films, and wrote and performed in the musical, “Whatever Happened to the Outlaw, Jesse James?”

 

Jameson is the best-selling treasure author in the world. Perhaps he is best known best, as the creator of the popular Buried Treasures of America series for August House. His latest collaboration with August House is America's Outlaws and the Treasures They Left Behind. 

 

His success and fame as a professional treasure hunter has led to appearances on television's “Unsolved Mysteries,” the Travel Channel, the Discovery Channel, Nightline, and National Public Radio. He also consulted with the production team for the highly successful feature film, “National Treasure,” starring Nicholas Cage. 

 

One of Jameson's most popular books is Billy the Kid: Beyond the Grave, a regional bestseller.

Jameson has won numerous awards for his writing from a number of professional associations. A nationally recognized and honored author, he has served as a judge for several prestigious literary competitions.
