About Marlow Hale

“I write slow winters, patient monsters, and wanting that outlasts both.”

Marlow Hale writes paranormal romance the dark way through, from somewhere cold where the power goes out often enough to keep the candles honest. Monsters who stay monsters, heroines who stop running, love with teeth in it. Sometimes one devoted creature, sometimes several. The books go where the wanting goes.

Harrowdale, the debut series, opens with HOWL: a snowed-in valley, a pack with older rules, and a woman none of them intend to lose.
