Gerald Moody Ford was born on July 9, 1945 in Everett, Massachusetts, United States. Son of Gerald Manson and Elizabeth Clara Ford. Ford's father died when he was young and as such he was brought up solely by his mother.
Ford attended Nathaniel Hawthorne College in New Hampshire (closed 1988) and ended up with a master's degree in 18th-century literature from Adelphi University in New York. He also received a M.A. in political science from the University of Washington, Seattle.
Ford worked as English teacher at Rogue Community College, Grants Pass, Oregon between 1972 and 1985. He was also communications teacher at the City University, Bellevue from 1986 until 1992. Ford's first book "Who in Hell is Wanda Fuca?" was published in 1995. In 2001 Ford began a new series about the character Frank Corso. Ford wrote five more Corso novels before writing his first standalone novel "Nameless Night" ("Identity" in the UK) in 2008.
Ford's first novel "Who in Hell is Wanda Fuca?" was nominated for the 1996 Anthony Award, Shamus Award for "Best First Novel" and the Dilys Award for "Best Novel". The second novel of the Frank Corso series "Black River" was recognised by The Seattle Times as one of the "Best Mysteries of 2002". In 2003 Ford received the Pacific Northwest Writers Association "Achievement Award" for both his literary success and, according to The Seattle Times, his "willingness to help others". The same year he won the Spotted Owl Award for the best mystery novel by a Pacific Northwest writer for "Black River".
Gerald is married to Skye Kathleen Moody. They have a child Jedediah Castiglione.
