PJ Harris-Fool

PJ Harris-Fool writes fiction, science fiction, and poetry that live at the intersection of memory, identity, and the unexplored frontiers of space and soul. His work delves into the fractures we carry—and the bonds that might heal them—infusing every story with lyrical depth, emotional grit, and a quiet reverence for the unseen forces that shape us.

For over 25 years, Harris-Fool has contributed essays, short stories, and poems to LGBTQ publications, carving out space for queer voices in both intimate and speculative landscapes. His upcoming series, The Riftwalker Saga, begins with Between Stars & Souls—a heart-wrenching sci-fi epic where memory and destiny collide through the lives of two young men bound by forces older than the stars. Equal parts psychological thriller, metaphysical mystery, and romantic odyssey, Harris-Fool’s stories are built to linger.

When not writing, PJ is a full-blown sci-fi nerd, a lover of spirited political and religious debate, and an unapologetic advocate for representation in every arena he inhabits. In his parallel career as a top-producing Realtor in Fort Wayne, Indiana, he has been honored as LGBTQ Midwest Realtor of the Year (2021), LGBTQ National Realtor of the Year (2023), and, most recently, received the 2025 LGBTQ Connection Advocacy Award for his work in community outreach and queer representation in housing.

He believes in love stories that hurt a little, sci-fi that aches like truth, and a world that gets better every time someone dares to tell their story.

The Day the Sky Screamed

I was eight when the dark came.

It wasn’t night. Night has stars. Night has air. This was bigger. Heavier. It ate the sky, the ground, and the people all at once.

They didn’t fall. They didn’t burn. They just… stopped like they were erased from the page.

I felt it. All of them. Thoughts crashing into me too fast to hold. I don’t want to die. Where’s my child? God, help me— And then nothing. Nothing. Nothing. The silence screamed so loud I thought my head would break.

Processing Some Feelings.... So I finished another novella tonight. This

So I finished another novella tonight. This one will probably end up being my second published book — and that’s awesome. I’m proud of that.

But here’s the thing… when I’m deep in writing mode, these characters don’t just live on the page. They live in my head. I feel what they feel — their highs, their lows, their little victories, and their heartbreaks. So when I finally type those two words, “The End,” it feels like losing someone.

They stop living in my mind because now they live on paper,...
