Born and raised in Nashville, TN, Hamilton has spent his life learning about the mysterious majesty of the plains of Middle Tennessee. Winning numerous awards throughout the South for his unique style of southern prose, Hamilton has focused many of his works chronicling the story of Justin Hoskins and his band of ragtag, twenty-something misfits. Hoskins, the sly and fearless protagonist, often finds himself in the middle of an adventure that no one would have predicted, taking him and his crew to the depths of the Forbidden Caverns of East Tennessee to the mountainside of the Appalachians.

Influences/Inspirations:
I am influenced by the beauty and prestige of the Great Smokey Mountains as well as the rolling hills of East Tennessee. I grew up on the Cumberland Plateau, and anytime I drove the long and winding road up to the Appalachian Mountains, I was inspired to tell the story of ole Justin Hoskins and his ragtag, twenty-something misfits.
