Hallie Katherine is the self-proclaimed Queen of Dark Humor and Emotional Chaos. Based in Austin, TX, she writes bold, banter-filled romances where love is messy, feelings are inconvenient, and swooning is mandatory. Her books are equal parts laugh-out-loud funny and oh-no-I-have-feelings dramatic, with heroines who don't always have it together and love interests who definitely know how to make things worse before they get better.

When Hallie's not writing her way through a fake dating disaster or an enemies-to-lovers spiral, she's probably crocheting couture for her extremely judgmental cats, Caillea and Penelope, designing her own book covers with the energy of a reformed chaos goblin, or lying on the floor contemplating plot holes and the meaning of life (but mostly plot holes). She believes coffee is a food group, outlines are just polite suggestions, and romance novels should hurt just a little before they heal.

A proud alumna of the University of Texas at Austin, Hallie studied absolutely nothing related to writing but somehow ended up here anyway. Her stories feature identity swaps, scandalous make-outs, deeply unprofessional relationships, and people falling in love when they least expect it (and least want to admit it). There are no chill slow burns here-only chaos, chemistry, and characters who are constantly one bad decision away from kissing.

If you like your romance with sharp dialogue, emotional damage, and main characters who flirt like it's a competitive sport, Hallie's your girl. Welcome to the wild, slightly unhinged world of Hallie Katherine romance. You've been warned. And invited. Mostly both.
