I got asked to write in a college magazine about indie publishing. The people in charge have loved it so far. Hopefully, there's more to come like it.

Thank you!

I'm a finalist in The Wishing Shelf Awards!!!!

My book, "Chronicles of Heroes: Untamed Nature" is a finalist!! 💙📚

I entered a couple of book contests last year.

Well, I got one of the results. I didn't win, but I did get a review.

It did say I was in the top 18% of a significative amount of entries in the fiction genre.

I'll take any wins I can take.

Yet again, I feel stuck on earth, wishing I could be somewhere else. Are distant stars not within reach? Are the depths of the seas far from us? Why do all these fantastical worlds tempt me, only to remind me about the dullness of ours?

A collage of photos for the novel Moonlit by Harper-Hugo Darling. The images depict gray wolves howling at the sky and playing in the snow, a dark sky with a red moon, a woman with a blood-covered chin smiling, snow-covered forests, the Edmonton cityscape, white hands holding a green potted plant, a close-up of a lush pink blanket, glasses of wine, and mugs of coffee. In the center of the collage is a luminous moon containing the title of the novel and a snowflake.

📖 After murdering her fiance, Selene decides to throw away her dreams of being a housewife to take care of the pack of werewolves she has inherited.

MOONLIT is an adult, genre-bending novel about found family and how collapse can change relationships for good.
