Hello Friend.

I've also included some top books I recommend and plan to keep that updated in case you are looking for your next read.Regardless, while here, I hope you enjoy your stay. And if you can manage to find the exit, please let me know. I seem to have locked myself in . . .Happy Haunting!-H. A. Spector

H. A. Spector holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in Commercial Fiction from Southern New Hampshire University. He is a fantasy and horror writer, a podcaster, an avid TTRPG player, a video game enthusiast (the culprit that prevents him from writing as much as he should), and a lover of all things macabre. His current work-in-progress, The Legends of Orgos, is an adventure fantasy novel and is best described as Lore meets Lies We Sing to the Sea set in a world of his own creation that he made for an original Dungeons & Dragons campaign.H. A. Spector grew up in rural Arizona where he spent his teenage years watching slasher movies with his sister. But it would take another twenty-two years before he fully discovered his love for horror. In 2020, as the world came to a grinding halt, he decided to try out a game of Dungeons & Dragons as a player first, only to pick up the mantle and begin game master duties a month later. Since then, writing fantasy stories that players experience through the game’s mechanics has become his biggest hobby, and nearly his entire personality.Currently, H. A. Spector resides in the suburbs of beautiful Portland, Oregon where he serves as the Chair of the Horror Writers Association, Oregon Chapter. His advice for his fellow writers would be to do anything they need to in order to find a writing community, even if it means starting one themselves, and to invest in their local bookstores and libraries to ensure readership for all continues to exist for generations to come.
