About Gary

Gary Sibley writes crime fiction rooted in the towns and highways of Oklahoma. Born and raised in Woodward and now living in Enid, he sets his stories in the places he knows best: small communities, long stretches of empty road, and police departments where trust is everything, and where losing it can be deadly.

Writing novels was a dream Gary carried for years before he finally sat down and started. His debut, Trace, follows a police officer who abuses his badge to prey on the people around him. His second novel, Night Windows, returns to Oklahoma with a serial predator and the one detective who has seen this kind of evil before.

When he isn't writing, Gary works in the telecommunications industry. He's at work on several new books, including more crime and law fiction as well as science fiction, with his next novel, The Passenger Seat, coming soon.
