HY CONRAD has made a career out of mayhem, earning a Scribe Award for best novel and garnering three Edgar nominations from the Mystery Writers of America. Along the way, he developed a horde of popular games and interactive films, hundreds of short stories and a dozen books of solvable mysteries, published in over a dozen languages. Hy is best known for his eight seasons as writer/co-executive producer for the ground-breaking series, “Monk.” Other TV work includes “White Collar,” “The Good Cop” and the international hit, “Mistry,” the hit Hindi-language series based on “Monk.” As a novelist, Hy authored the final four books in the” Monk” series, the Amy Travel Mysteries ("Toured to Death," "Dearly Departed" and "Death on the Patagonian Express") and the Callie McFee Mysteries ("The Fixer’s Daughter," a Barnes & Noble bestseller, "Sins of the Family" and “The Man on the Bench”).The first two Callie McFee novels each won multiple awards, including the Independent Press Award and the NYC Big Book Award for Best Mystery. All of Hy’s work is infused with humor, but his one foray into pure humor was the best-seller, “Things Your Dog Doesn’t Want You to Know”, co-authored with Jeff Johnson. In the world of theatre, his produced works consist of “Home Exchange” (a mystery), “Ta-Dah!” (a musical), and “Quarantine for Two” (a socially distanced dark comedy about the pandemic). In a break from murder, Hy has penned and sold his first romcom, “Write Me a Romance,” which was sold to a major network in 2025. When he looks up from his keyboard, Hy sees either the hills of Vermont or the palm trees of Key West, depending on the time of year. He also sees his husband, Jeff Johnson, plus Stella and Dyson, the latest in a dynasty of mini schnauzers.
