Author · 6 books

Gail Hamilton has been creating novels since the great romance boom began, writing for Harlequin and other publishers. She has been a farm hand, English teacher, ad copywriter, and once rode a British Bedford truck across the Sahara and back to see Timbuctu. All of it is fodder for her fiction. She is drawn to action, romance, adventure and characters with a distinctly odd twist. These show up in her many romance novels and her fast-moving historical, The Tomorrow Country. After trying urban life in Europe and Toronto, Gail returned to live on the family farm where she grew up. In this rural corner hugging the north shore of Lake Ontario, Gail digs into the rich, raucous local history. She cherishes a secret passion for animated movies and loves photographing the nature all around her, reading the constant changes like a newspaper every morning. When she blogs, it’s apt to be about a wind-downed oak that was a beloved childhood friend, amazing chipmunk facts, a dramatic house fire in the village, odd Victorian crimes, or what vampires might do when the sun goes red giant and gobbles up our planet. “Somehow,” she says, “I can’t get into hard-nosed book promotion. I’d rather write about the quirky what ifs that pop into my head. I am lucky to live in the vibrant natural countryside so many urbanites secretly thirst for but cannot access. That’s why all those tough-shelled professionals love to read about the return of garter snakes to the spring air or how field mice survive an ice storm. Our ancestral genes still tell us we are supposed to be out there, living it for ourselves." What better place to hatch new tales for everyone’s enjoyment.
