Glen Hatcher

Glen Hatcher is a New Zealand author whose novels blend suspense, adventure, emotion and strong character driven storytelling.

At seventeen, Glen joined the Royal New Zealand Navy, beginning a career that would span twenty two years. His time in the Navy gave him a lasting appreciation for leadership, loyalty, resilience and the way people respond when circumstances become difficult or uncertain, themes that regularly find their way into his fiction.

After leaving the Navy, Glen became a financial adviser and today runs a successful financial advice practice serving clients throughout New Zealand. Years of working closely with people through major decisions, setbacks and changes have shaped the way he writes, with a strong focus on believable characters, relationships and the moments that can change a life.

Glen writes across crime, legal thrillers, survival adventures, mysteries and family dramas, always with an emphasis on momentum, emotional stakes and characters readers can genuinely care about.

He lives with his family in the Marlborough Sounds, surrounded by sea, bush and remote bays, a landscape that has become an important influence on many of his stories.

For Glen, writing is about creating books that pull readers in, keep the pages turning and stay with them after the final chapter.
