Harley Austin

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, I've spent most of my life writing. I am, at heart, a storyteller. As early as I can remember I have loved stories and loved telling them in my own inimitable way.

WHAT I WRITE

A Harley Austin book often defies the typical categories and genres. A cross-genre author, you can find me writing stories that include classic romance, mystery, suspense, fantasy, and science fiction--and always with a heavy dose of the unexpected.

AN INSUFFERABLE RELATIONSHIP JUNKIE

I am also a romantic and an avowed relationship junkie. A Harley Austin story will often include a steamy romance, often more than one, between a hero and heroine, or even between two heroes or two heroines. Some stories may look more like a soap opera than HEA. I will keep you guessing.

THE BACK COVER WILL ALWAYS BE SHY ON DETAILS

I refuse to give away the story on the back cover! Story descriptions are important to me, and often the most difficult to write. It is always a balancing act to deliver a hard-hitting description of the book without giving too much of the story away. As such, a Harley Austin book description will often be a little shy on the details.

I WRITE BOOKS, NOT BOOKLETS

Harley Austin novels are also just that - novels. When you pickup one of my books you will get 300 to 500 or more pages of riveting story. Even my short stories will turn in at close to 200 to 300 printed pages.

RULE NUMBER ONE: LOVE YOUR READERS

I don't do stupid cliffhangers. I also don't drag you into an book or milieu just so I can kill off beloved characters at the end. A book is much more than just entertainment. It is a time where you and I connect, and you graciously give me the power to lead you to a place of wonder. A story is something that is immersive, personal, where one feels like they know the people in the story deeply and intimately.

A ROMANCE FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN

A Harley Austin story is NOT just a chick-lit romance, it is a book and a story that can be loved and enjoyed by anyone, whether they are male or female. The fact is, I receive just as much rave response from men reading my stories as I do women. Again, the Harley Austin novel often defies categories and crosses numerous genres to weave a story that attracts readers from all walks of life.

REVIEWS

Harley Austin never buys reviews. Ever. Reviews are often the lifeblood of independent authors. Once you finish a book, please consider offering a glowing review of what you liked. All too often really good books get only a handful of good reviews while some not-so-good books seem to get hundreds of rave reviews. I'm often suspicious of such "reviews". Harley Austin reviews are 100% organic.
