i am . . .

  • starting my “second act” as an author with a pair of new pen names (Leni Hall for contemporary romance, Harley Miel for sci-fi/fantasy romance)

  • in a committed relationship with my fluffy dog and the city of Chicago

  • a literal monster without caffeine

  • probably watching Bob’s Burgers or “Critical Role” on YouTube, and definitely listening to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter and the Andor orchestral score

  • training for the nap olympics and making good trouble

  • a former romance author with various publishers, including Penguin Random House and HarperCollins
