Glen Hatcher

Glen Hatcher is a New Zealand author of thrillers, mysteries, historical dramas and adventures about ordinary people facing extraordinary choices.

At seventeen, Glen joined the Royal New Zealand Navy, beginning a career that would span twenty-two years. Those years 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.

His novels range from crime and legal thrillers to military adventures, survival stories, historical fiction and character-driven mysteries. Whether the setting is the Marlborough Sounds, Hong Kong, Alaska, a courtroom or deep beneath the ocean, his stories place believable people at the centre of extraordinary situations.

Glen lives with his family in the Marlborough Sounds, surrounded by sea, bush and remote bays that have inspired many of his New Zealand stories.

His aim is simple: write stories that pull readers in, keep the pages turning, and stay with them after the final chapter.
