Hi, I'm Hanna! Welcome to my website.
Five years ago, I had a pile of business books on my bedside table that I was never going to finish. I used to love reading, but somewhere along the way it had turned into performance-optimizing drudgery.
Then my husband gave me A Court of Thorns and Roses as a gift. What a bizarre gift, I thought! I didn’t have time to read fiction, and this book was being called “elf smut.” I finished it in three days.
Hundreds of fiction books later, I’ve rediscovered what I’d lost: reading for pure joy. Fantasy written for women. Stories that transport you instead of lecturing at you. Books that make you stay up too late because you just have to turn the page.
Now I’m writing my own fantasy novel and sharing what I learn about storytelling, book marketing, and the radical act of reading for fun.
