Author K. Hamilton is a resident of Marin County, California. A successful small business owner, she has run her orthodontic dental lab there since 1984. Originally from the East Coast, her family encouraged her creative side with a good education and broad life experience.

Locally, she is an avid equestrian, an outspoken sustainable ranching advocate, a past president of the local Horse Council, a member of Novato Horseman’s Association, and a mentor in a program that helps recovering cancer patients through natural horsemanship. Her photographic accomplishments have won honorable mentions twice at the Marin County Fair and her photograph of a horse was a finalist in the 2014 Marin Magazine cover contest.

K. Hamilton has followed and admired the horsemanship of several incredible horsemen and women, the pillars that today’s clinicians stand on, and she credits their wisdom and her own mentors with helping to make her two youngest horses what they are today. She used this experiential working knowledge of horsemanship, combined it with real news stories of cattle rustling, and a story about a wild mustang and an inmate, then let her imagination create her first novel: a contemporary Western titled Three Corner Rustlers.

Choosing to write under a family name as a loving homage to her mother, K. Hamilton lives with her four horses on a small ranch in Novato, California. They enjoy a second home in Bend, Oregon.
