a new novel about love, loss, life and what comes after...
Nik Marek is an investigative journalist in Washington, DC. He lives an idyllic life with his partner, until his partner vanishes. In his state of grief, he becomes the subject of investigation himself: by the US Government. His journey navigating Washington in all its corruption, darkness, and buttoned-up ignorance takes him to places he never expected... places he never knew existed. Drawing inspiration from 'A Single Man' by Christopher Isherwood and 'The Divine Comedy' by Dante, this short novel explores life, death, grief and what comes next.

stories about people.
hi there. stories about people is my first book, a collection of short stories about people in mostly f**ked-up situations who must make a major decision, or face the consequences of one that's already been made.

"Someone once told me that a good short story is like a good sandwich; it has to satisfy you on the first bite and make you want to finish it. Many of Harrie’s stories are like that: spare writing about offbeat characters muddling their way through Raymond Carver-esque situations. I might want to re-title the book "Stories About People on the Edge." If there’s anything all the characters have in common it’s that they’re teetering between being normal and very screwed up, even insane...
These stories will resonate with (and get some out-loud laughs from) anyone who has ever lived in New York City — and might scare away people who are thinking about moving there."
