Award-winning novelist Gail Hulnick writes mysteries, travel books, and occasionally, nonfiction. She fell in love with books as a kid... books of all kinds, but particularly those from Agatha Christie, PD James, and Robert Ludlum. Her latest mystery is Red Herrings Radio, Book 6 of her Media Mysteries series, which features crimes investigated by three friends navigating through different stages of life: Nevada Leacock, Chelan Montgomery, and Lillian Howe. Red Herrings Radio is set in Toronto in 1964, when a young woman is discovered dead on the floor of a radio studio where Lillian works. Book 5 is Monkey Me Monkey You, the story of Nevada, a New York publishing executive who searches for the killer of a celebrity author. Book 4 is Kangaroo Court, the story of an online journalist in California who sets out to find out who is trying to ruin the reputation of one of her friends. Invasive, accusatory posts on a popular social media site threaten his livelihood and his relationship, and Chelan becomes obsessed with following the clues to the identity of the anonymous poster. Sleeping Dogs Lie, the story of Lillian, a newspaper writer who makes a disturbing discovery in a southwest Florida park, is Book 3 of her Media Mysteries series and won the Bronze Royal Palm Literary Award for Published Mystery in 2022. Gail wrote this story during National Novel Writing Month in 2021, and in addition to those 70,000 words, she collected her thoughts and takeaways from the experience in a nonfiction book titled 100 Ways to Win NaNoWriMo. The first novel in the Media Mysteries series, The Lion's Share of the Air Time, was longlisted for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. It's the story of an investigative TV journalist who falls from an apartment high-rise balcony in Vancouver, Canada. The second book in the collection, A Bird in the Sand (2018), tells a story from movie-making world where priceless historic artifacts have gone missing in Savannah, Georgia. A Bird in the Sand won the Florida Writers Association Royal Palm Bronze Award in the Mystery category in 2020. During her previous careers as a reporter and then as a media and marketing consultant, Gail traveled and took notes. She's rolled them into three travel crime fiction novels in the Resorting series -- Resorting to Murder (2017), Resorting to Larceny (2017), and Resorting to Fraud (2020. Resorting to Fraud won a Florida Writers Association Silver award. A collection titled Resorting to Short Stories was published in 2021. In addition to the novels, Gail has written five travel memoirs within her series Rumble Strip. The first, about Canada in its 150th year, is based on a coast-to-coast road trip she took with her husband in 2017. The second book, USA Off the interstate (2019), is a collection of essays and photographs about trips to 25 of the 50 states over five years. The third, Rumble Strip Europe Could We Live Here? (2019) is the story of a home-scouting, three-week road trip through France, Italy and Switzerland. (She still lives in the U.S. but continues to ponder other possibilities.) The fourth, Benelux (And a Boat), covers a road trip through Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, followed by an ocean voyage home on the Queen Mary 2. The fifth, Rumble Strip World (2020) is a collection of interviews, quotations, and thoughts about memorable road trips in vans, classic cars, SUVs, RVs, on bicycles, motorcycles, and scooters, in sixteen countries on four continents. Gail is a lifelong student and has enjoyed quite a few academic environments. She holds a BA in sociology and psychology, an MA in journalism, an MBA with a little bit of everything, and an MFA in creative writing. If she had the time and money (or maybe that should be, "when"), she'd go back again and do art history, dog psychology or music. When she's not writing, she runs a small press called WindWord Group Publishing & Media with her husband, David A.Stone. She also hosts and produces a podcast called The Brainwave, where she interviews authors, artists, filmmakers, photographers and other creative professionals about the 'charmed moment' that led to one of their best, or favorite, pieces. The best things in the world, she thinks, are children, books, movies, sunsets, sunrises, and beaches.
