About the Author

Cameron Hawley (1905–1969) was simultaneously a businessman who rose through the ranks to become a top executive at Armstrong Cork Company and a prolific author of short stories and articles, which frequently appeared in the
Saturday Evening Post
,
Life
, and
Good Housekeeping
. In his midforties, he decided to devote all of his time to writing. The result was
Executive Suite
, the bestselling, iconic novel about the dynamic men and women who work at the highest levels of corporate America.
Executive Suite
was produced as a 1954 motion picture that starred William Holden and Barbara Stanwyck, and was nominated for four Academy Awards. Hawley continued to focus on the themes of free enterprise, big-business adventurers, and the pressures of modern life in his later novels:
Cash McCall
, which was made into a 1960 film starring James Garner and Natalie Wood;
The Lincoln Lords
; and
The Hurricane Years
. Hawley lived for many years on a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he enjoyed hunting and fly-fishing.
