ⓘ About Hampton Sides

He currently makes his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lives with Goodwin Sides his wife who is a former NPR editor and journalist. Since he frequently lectures, he normally splits his time between Colorado College, New Mexico, and Santa Fe, where he serves as a Journalist in Residence and teaches narrative non-fiction. Her talks are often accompanied by multi-media presentations and slideshows that often leave audiences in thrall about the white knuckle stories behind the novels. Hampton Sides usually discusses his writing process and how he finds and ties in his research from obscure documents and his experiences on trips. The author and his wife have three adult kids named Graham, McCall, and Griffin.
