ⓘ About Harry Connolly

Harry Connolly is a literary fiction author best known for the “Twenty Palaces” and the “Great Way” series of novels. He was born and bred in Philadelphia, where he spent his early childhood years reading the likes of Wee Willie Weber, Dr. Shock and the huge collection science fiction novels his big sister had. As a teen, he went to Temple University only to graduate and find his degree had very few job prospects. In 1989, he decided to move to Seattle but he did not have much luck until he got into the internet which made his lifelong dream of becoming a fiction author come true. Over more than two decades, he has been living with his wife and homeschooling their only child.
