Best-selling author Gerald Hansen was a Navy brat, starting school in Thailand, graduating high school in Iceland, with Germany, California and his mother's hometown of Derry, Northern Ireland in between. He attended Dublin City University, and also lived in London and Berlin. The first of the ever-expanding Derry Women Series, An Embarrassment of Riches, was an ABNA semifinalist in 2011. He loves music, spicy food, wearing Ben Sherman and traveling the world (still!). He has a travelogue series, Around The World With Jet Lag Jerry, which is about his trips to the Seven Modern Wonders of the World. He now lives in New York City.

In order to give different types of readers the experience they want, Hansen has two versions of most of his Derry Women Series books available. There are the original versions, which are perhaps more authentic, and also PG versions, where the strongest language has been toned down for a gentler reading experience.
