Life and career
Kellerman was born in Los Angeles, California, the oldest child and only son of the bestselling mystery novelists Faye Kellerman and Jonathan Kellerman. His first published title co-authored with his father was their 1994 book of children's poetry, Daddy, Daddy, Can You Touch the Sky?
Kellerman studied psychology at Harvard and playwriting at Brandeis University. For a time he served as lead guitarist for the L.A.-based indie rock band Don't Shoot the Dog.
His 2004 play Things Beyond Our Control was honored with a Princess Grace Award, which recognizes emerging talent in theater, dance, and film in the US. Kellerman is also a recipient of the Grand Prix des Lectrices de Elle.
His essay "Let My People Go to the Buffet" was chosen for Penguin's annual anthology The Best American Spiritual Writing in 2011.[2] His 2012 book Potboiler was nominated for that year's Edgar Award for Best Novel.
Kellerman is an Orthodox Jew, as are his parents. He resides in Berkeley, California, with his wife, Gabriella Sarah (Rosen),[1] and their three children.[3][4]
