NICE TO MEET YOU!

I'm Hayley, an indie fantasy author currently in the midst of writing and publishing my debut series, The Kerafin Chronicles. I've also recently published an impromptu passion project - the standalone gothic romance, Ballad of the Broken Mirror - which is available now in print and e-book!

As a lifelong reader, I always dreamed of creating the type of stories that inspired me as a child - whimsical, hopeful tales like The Chronicles of Narnia, Heidi, and Little House on the Prairie. After receiving my Mechanical Engineering degree from Auburn University (War Eagle!), I worked for a few years in the military defense industry before deciding I wasn't ready to give up on my writing dreams. I then revamped Brenna and Katiel's story (one of my many, many scrapped projects) and started from scratch on a new draft, which eventually became Ink and Ore! 

​

Outside of reading and writing, I love baking, photography, spending time with my family, and doing nearly any activity outdoors, especially if it involves a beach. Though I'm from Alabama originally, I now live in Florida with my loving husband, Nick, my wonderful son, Hollis, my baby daughter, Blythe, and my sweet calico cat, Maui.
