About The Author

R. S. Hampton is a former attorney turned novelist, weaving suspenseful stories that unfold across a variety of landscapes—bustling cities, quiet coastal towns, and places tucked just out of sight. With a legal career spanning three decades, her characters are often lawyers, their clients, and the people entangled in their search for truth—where morality is rarely black and white, and justice doesn’t always follow the rules.

A lifelong traveler, Reta is drawn to places that spark curiosity, places with history, edge, and unexpected depth. Her stories are shaped by the settings in which they unfold, each one becoming a character in its own right. Whether it’s a courtroom in a city she once called home or a hidden alleyway in a country she’s only just begun to understand, her novels reflect the intricacies of the worlds she explores.

She and her husband split their time between multiple countries, embracing a multicultural life that mirrors the layered complexities of her fiction. When she’s not writing, she’s usually on the move—seeking out the next place, the next story, and the next unanswered question.
