Keith Hartman grew up in Huntsville Alabama, where he was a weird little boy who didn't fit in. He went to Princeton University, where he was supposed to study economics and instead blew all his time on theater courses. He then started a PhD in Finance at Duke, before realizing that he just couldn't spend the rest of his life teaching MBA's how to screw each other. So he ran away to be a writer.

He sold his first short story to a tiny magazine that went out of business, and his first book to Rutgers University, which did not.

He moved to Los Angeles a few years ago to direct low budget movies. It turns out that everyone in Hollywood is stark raving mad.

Is Amazon Homophobic??

I recently had one of my works that features a description of a gay sex act taken down from the Amazon store because an employee decided that it was “offensive”. It’s not clear why the Amazon employee were offended. The work is for sale on both iTunes and Barnes & Noble, so it’s clearly not out of step with contemporary community standards. And I didn’t think that anyone could still be shocked to Read more of this blog post »

“Someone who comes to me cautiously, knowing that falling in love is easy and staying in love is hard, that passion dies and most relationships are doomed before they start.”
