edit data

A.S. Harrington, born in Texas, raised in West Africa, spent her childhood in a culture rich in the story-telling tradition. With a professional career that spanned everything from teaching piano to software engineering and owning and operating a helicopter charter service, her life experience has been great background for what she loves best: writing novels. Who knew that five years as a reference librarian would come in so handy!

In addition to historical fiction she has published as A.S. Harrington, she also writes modern romantic suspense as Sydney Harrington ("Ordinary Secrets" was published in 2017).

Harrington lives and writes in the Oakland Hills overlooking San Francisco Bay. ...more

They waited so long for each other, went through so much deceit and mistrust. Their relationship matured over many years, with much heartbreak and separation, with misunderstandings and sometimes intentional hurt. But "they were meant for each other, and they knew it," we discover at the end. And yes, it was worth it.

But I also have to mention the protagonists in a more recent chronicle: McKayla Lane and Jericho Barrons in Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. Likewise, these two very distinct personalities, each with a story, fill the page when they are together.(less)

If the next bit doesn't flow, it's because I didn't tell the story the way it happened. It's odd, but even fiction has its own interior integrity, its own proper narrative. My characters tell the story. When they stop talking, it's because I've tried to take over.(less)
