P.S. Gerard — Author Bio

P.S. Gerard has spent more than three decades navigating the personalities, politics, secrets, and occasional absurdities of corporate America. As a longtime human resources executive, he has heard just about every explanation, excuse, confession, and carefully constructed version of the truth imaginable. Not surprisingly, those years taught him something important about storytelling: everyone has a story—and the most interesting part is often what they leave out.

His own talent for creative storytelling appeared early. In kindergarten, Gerard convinced his teachers that he had lost a contact lens, prompting an entire classroom to spend hours searching for it. There was only one problem: he didn’t wear contact lenses.

He has been telling stories ever since.

With an academic background spanning journalism, English, and law, Gerard writes across genres, creating stories driven by memorable characters, hidden motives, unexpected turns, and the complicated choices people make when the stakes are high.

He is the author of The Amanda Files, a psychological thriller series centered on Amanda Summers, a psychologist whose understanding of human behavior—and willingness to cross lines others won't—places her at the center of secrets, scandal, deception, and danger. The series includes Murdering the Money Man, A Is for Amanda: Beautiful Lies, and Broken Promises.

Gerard's work also ventures far beyond psychological suspense. The Accidental Royal explores history, identity, and an unexpected connection to royalty, while Parker Collins and the Curse of the Serpent Staff takes younger readers into a world of mystery, adventure, and ancient secrets.

A Midwesterner by birth and Texan since 1996, Gerard is an empty-nest-in-training father to a 22-year-old daughter studying law—who, he suspects, has been using him for years to perfect her closing arguments.

Whether he's writing psychological thrillers, historical fiction, or young-adult adventures, Gerard returns to the same fascination that has followed him from the corporate boardroom to the blank page:

People are rarely exactly who they appear to be.
