Glen Erik Hamilton writes crime thrillers. His novels have been called “outstanding” (Publishers Weekly), “perfect mix of serious crime and caper movie” (Criminal Element), and “a must-read series” (Mystery Scene Magazine).

Hamilton’s debut novel Past Crimes won the Anthony, Macavity, and Strand Magazine Critics Awards, and was also nominated for the Edgar®, Barry, and Nero Awards. Kirkus called Past Crimes “an exciting heir to the classic detective novel.” Each of his subsequent books in the Van Shaw series have earned starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, and more, and been published in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Turkey, the Czech Republic, and Japan.

Glen grew up aboard a sailboat in Seattle, Washington, playing and occasionally finding trouble around the islands, marinas, and commercial docks of the Pacific Northwest. Whenever the boat drifted on calm seas, Glen would raid his parents’ bookshelves, passing the idle hours with Travis McGee, Spenser, and the labyrinthine plots of Patricia Highsmith and Fredrick Forsyth. Years later, Glen met his wife while both were performing in an Agatha Christie play. Prior to his fiction writing career he worked in wireless telecom, the gaming industry, and non-profit healthcare.

Glen served as President of the Southern California chapter of Mystery Writers of America from 2018-2019 and is also a member of International Thriller Writers and Sisters in Crime. He publicly acknowledges his addiction to the television show Columbo. After living for many years in Southern California, Glen and his family have recently returned to the Emerald City and its beautiful overcast skies.

Nora Ephron Ball Analogy: “Nora Ephron was speaking about how we’re all keeping a bunch of balls in the air at one time. We’re going to drop a few things but we should make sure that it’s a plastic ball (one that will bounce and recover) and save the glass ones (ones that would shatter or be irreparably harmed if dropped).” https://gwengavinbooks.wordpress.com/2020/02/07/juggling-all-the-things/

During her career in television news, Myra created Emmy Award winning special reports and investigations and told stories of true crime. But her love of traditional and cozy mysteries motivated her to write the Sarah Doucette Jean-Louis Mystery series. The stories are based in the San Francisco Bay Area and give a nod to Myra’s childhood, growing up in the progressive Berkeley, California with conventional Louisiana Creole parents.

The U.C. Berkeley Bancroft library has included Myra’s mysteries in their local authors collection. Myra has appeared on Geraldo Rivera’s true crime show, “Murder in the Family,” which tells the stories of celebrities who have been victimized by crime. She has also appeared in segments of the TV One crime series, “For My Man,” a reality show about women who commit crimes for the men in their lives.

Myra credits Sisters in Crime and its chapters with providing the tools and environment for women to hone their writing skills, and to enter a supportive crime writing community.
