About the Author

ML Hamilton has been teaching high school English and journalism in Central California for the last 20 years. Teaching students to appreciate literature has made her career rewarding; however, she always dreamed of publishing her own novel. In 2010, the dream came true. Her first novel, Emerald, was published by Wild Wolf Publishing. The sequel to Emerald, The Heirs of Eldon, followed the next year. In the summer of 2011, she published her first contemporary fiction, Ravensong, and Murder on Potrero Hill is her first foray into the murder mystery genre. Her third fantasy was released in August 2012 and the second Peyton Brooks' Mystery soon followed. In addition to teaching and writing, she has three sons, three dogs, and two cats. If she isn't writing, you can find her at a band concert or a baseball game. Visit ML Hamilton at her website: www.authormlhamilton.com.
