About Carl Vonderau

Carl Vonderau is an award-winning author of crime fiction. Even as a child in Cleveland, he loved to write. But it took a long time to become a full-time author. He left Cleveland to study at Stanford and also spent a year taking classes and traveling in Latin America. After graduating in economics, his parents were not thrilled that he studied music at San Jose State. Much to their relief, he became a banker. That career enabled him to live and work in Latin America, Canada, and North Africa. He’s put his foot in his mouth in Spanish, French and Portuguese. He also became a dual U.S. and Canadian citizen.

After a long banking career, he decided to devote himself to what he really loved—writing novels. His debut thriller, MURDERABILIA, won Left Coast Crime and San Diego Book awards. SAVING MYLES, his second novel, won the American BookFest, Pencraft, and National Indie Excellence awards for Best Mystery/Suspense.

Carl lives with his wife in San Diego. His two grown sons are close by and wonder how he knows so much about serial killers and banking crimes.
