Howard Owen is a novelist and journalist living in Richmond, Va. His 20th novel will be published in 2021. His 10th novel, "Oregon Hill," won the Dashiell Hammett Prize for best crime literature in the United States and Canada, given by the International Association of Crime Writers.

His 10th, Jordan's Branch, will launch in February of 2021. Oregon Hill is now also published in Italian (NN Editore). Struck by either an epiphany or a midlife crisis, Owen wrote his first novel, "Littlejohn," in 1990. The first draft took him about 100 days. It was published by The Permanent Press and then by Random House. When it was published, Owen was sports editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. He also has been deputy managing editor of the Times-Dispatch and editorial pages editor of the Free Lance-Star in Fredericksburg, Va. He is now writing full-time. When he was a journalist, he never took a sabbatical, adhering instead to a schedule that included about an hour a day for writing or revising. He has found that it is possible to do great things with an hour a day, every day. He is married to Karen Van Neste Owen, book doctor, former Viewpoints editor of the Free Lance-Star and his sweetheart of since they were kids. He grew up near Fayetteville, N.C., on the edge of his grandfather's farm. He likes Paris, the Washington Redskins, snowy days, steamed crabs, Smithfield ham, North Carolina barbecue, bourbon and water, cold long-neck Miller High-Lifes on a hot summer day, other people covering Dylan songs, movies that surprise him and the company of good friends.
