HJ Seifert

Since retiring in Arizona after sixty years in the Chicago area, H.J. went back to his roots as a writer, publishing short stories as well as writing his first novel, Nobody's Coming, which was published in June 2019. Before retirement he had a fulfilling career in banking, finance, and coaching varsity basketball in various high schools across the country. Additionally, he served on the Boards of the local hospital, a college prep high school, and a non-profit housing corporation, gaining insight into what's happening in our communities, big and small. Many of his meaningful and challenging experiences alike can be found in his writing, highlighting both the real and surreal ideas we have all come to know or question. Black and White World, a non-fiction story, was published in the University of Arizona College of Medicine Harmony Anthology, 2015. H.J. also wrote the fictional short stories, Sabrina, published in Monsoon Madness in 2019, and Little Miracles, published in Desert Muses in 2020.
