ⓘ About Donald Harington

Donald Harington was American visual artist and author of Stay More series. Most of the author’s novels are set or have an essential connection to a fictional Ozark Mountain town, Stay More based in Drakes Creek in Arkansas where the author spent most of his childhood summers. Harington was born and spent his childhood in Little Rock, Arkansas and nearly lost his hearing to meningitis at the age of 12. The hearing loss did not prevent Harington from preventing the author from pursuing his childhood dreams nor teaching as an adult. Though the author wanted to be a writer right from the start, his career was in art history.
