Ken Humphrey

Ken is the author of nine novels (as of Feb 2025) in the middle-grade, teen reader and murder mystery genres. His 2024 novel takes from a Kenosha WI murder trial where a husband poisoned his wife with antifreeze. Ken served as jury foreman and from this experience came The Breakfast Jury, a blend of John Grisham and The Breakfast Club movie.


When not writing, he's usually found in the garage swearing at European sports car engineering, on the golf course or building something.
