Gerald Elias

Gerald Elias, a writer, conductor, composer, educator, and former violinist with the Boston Symphony infuses his deep understanding of classical music into his writing. From his acclaimed Daniel Jacobus mystery series to his novel, "Roundtree Days," which was a finalist for the 2023 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award for Best Western Mystery, Jerry "composes his stories like a piece of music." In other words, his dialogue sings and his plots move you like a ballad. His forthcoming short story collection, "Murder on Vacation," will be published in May 2025 by Speakeasy Editions.
