With co-author Jerry Nichols, the Hildebrandt brothers created the 1979 fantasy novel Urshurak. Greg Hildebrandt, Jr. also made major contributions to the production of a book entitled Greg & Tim Hildebrandt: The Tolkien Years, which gave an overview of the Tolkien genre artworks produced by Greg and Tim in the 1970s. Individually, Greg is also known for his contributions to the art for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's albums and concert merchandise.
