Simon Hawke è un autore americano molto prolifico, nato come Nicholas Valentin Yermakov nel 1951 a New York City, USA. È noto principalmente per il suo lavoro nei generi di fantascienza e fantasy, sebbene abbia anche tentato la penna in fiction storica, mistero e avventure near-future. La scelta di Hawke di adottare lo pseudonimo "Simon Hawke" nel 1984 ha segnato un punto di svolta nella sua carriera, aprendo un nuovo capitolo nella sua vita come scrittore.
Prima di trovare successo come autore, Hawke ha avuto una vasta gamma di esperienze, svolgendo vari lavori come venditore di motociclette, operaio edile e in fabbrica, commesso in libreria, annunciatore radiofonico e guardia armata. Questi eccentrici background hanno sicuramente arricchito il suo storytelling e aggiunto profondità ai suoi personaggi e trame. Gli interessi di Hawke per la storia, le motociclette, il tiro a segno con pistole e le arti marziali sono solo alcune delle influenze che hanno plasmato il suo lavoro over the years.
La carriera di Hawke come autore lo ha portato oltre il regno della fiction, con incarichi come insegnante di scrittura in diversi college e università, tra cui Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona, North Carolina A&T University in Greensboro, Carolina del Nord e Elon College in Elon, Carolina del Nord. È stato anche membro del corpo docente ospite in diverse istituzioni di istruzione superiore. Oltre al suo lavoro sotto gli pseudonimi "Simon Hawke" e "J. D. Masters", ha anche pubblicato opere sotto il suo vero nome, Nicholas Valentin Yermakov.
