Yes. It's the same person. North and South is probably my favorite miniseries - ever. It's based on his books, although many liberties were taken with the story when it was written for the screen, which is usually the case. I won't give away anything, but I will say that Orey Main's story is quite a bit different in the books, and several characters in the miniseries just aren't in the books at all.
There's a sequel to N&S called Heaven and Hell, which is also good, although not quite as good as N&S 1 and 2..
He has a writing style that makes it so interesting. A very talented author, and I highly recommend his books.
