finishing my first spec-fic manuscript (of the “romantic science fantasy” variety)

i am . . .

  • starting my “second act” as an author in speculative fiction as Harley Hall

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

  • a late-diagnosed (but now properly treated!) neurodivergent menace

  • probably watching Bob’s Burgers, a K- or C-drama, or “Critical Role” on YouTube, and definitely listening to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, Bad Bunny, and BTS

  • making good trouble—because fuck ICE, tax all billionaires, and get those fascist criminal traitors out of the White House

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