Long Bio
Multiple Anthony Award-nominated E.A. Aymar’s most recent thriller, When She Left, was called by New York Times bestseller Wendy Corsi Straub, “crime fiction at its finest.” Booklist wrote, “This would appeal to fans of Elmore Leonard…with high-stakes violence tempered by humor and disarmingly sympathetic antiheroes.” His prior thriller, No Home for Killers, received praise from the New York Times, Kirkus, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, and was an instant Amazon Bestseller. His thriller before that, They’re Gone, was published to rave reviews in Publishers Weekly, Kirkus (starred), and was named one of the best books of 2020 by the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
Prior to that, his 2019 thriller, The Unrepentant, received similar critical enthusiasm (“Gut-wrenching…Readers who appreciate depth of character alongside gritty nonstop action will be rewarded.” – Publishers Weekly) and was a finalist for numerous awards, including the Foreword Indies, the Readers Favorites, the Next Gin Indie, and the Anthony for Best Paperback. It also reached the top of the sales charts and was an Amazon bestseller.
His other thrillers include the novels-in-stories The Night of the Flood and The Swamp Killers (in both, he served as co-editor and contributor), and his short fiction has received similar acclaim, including an Anthony nod.
His column, “Decisions and Revisions,” appeared monthly in the Washington Independent Review of Books, and he is a frequent contributor to the Washington Post. Aymar is a former member of the national board of the International Thriller Writers and, for years, was the managing editor of The Thrill Begins, an online resource for debut and aspiring writers. He is also an active member of Crime Writers of Color, the Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime. He also runs the Noir at the Bar series for Washington, D.C., and has hosted and spoken at a variety of crime fiction, writing, and publishing events nationwide.
He was born in Panama and now lives and writes in, and generally about, the D.C./MD/VA triangle.
