R. S. Hampton is an attorney turned novelist, drawing on her three decades of legal experience in the southern United States to write galvanic stories led by bold, complex women. After thirty years of legal practice, she discovered writing as a means of exploring new narratives; free from the constraints of the law.
Hampton's novels are gritty, no-nonsense thrillers that don't shy away from heavy topics– blending high-stakes plots with daring investigations and authentic interactions. Inspired by her lifelong love of travel, Hampton’s stories unfold across diverse and vibrant settings, where danger and intrigue are always present.
Her debut novel, Forever Gone, published on July 1st, 2025 and has drawn parallels between the writings of Tess Gerritsen, Lee Child, Karin Slaughter, John Grisham, and Lisa Scottoline.
