About Craig

Craig Kingsman writes about murders because committing them would be a real bummer for the victim.


By day, he is an internationally recognized tech thought leader and software architect. He is the author of two books and dozens of magazine articles on software development, has been recognized internationally for his community support in the computer industry, and has been a presenter at software conferences across North America and Europe.


By night, he is working on his first novel that hopefully you will read soon. He became interested in writing fiction while reading the urban fantasy Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong. Her ability to intertwine many characters across thirteen novels and multiple short stories intrigued him. He wondered if he could learn to do that.


His first published short story, “The Butler Did It,” was praised by readers for taking a unique spin on an old cliché.


Craig is a member of Sisters in Crime and Private Eye Writers of America. He also runs the Utah Mystery Writers Facebook group.


He lives in Salt Lake City with his wife, and their two cats Simone and Mayhem. You can find him as @kingsmanbooks on social media, his website craigkingsman.com, conferences, and other writer events.
