Writer of LGBTQ fiction, science fiction, and poetry that live at the intersection of memory, identity, and the unexplored frontiers of mind and soul. His work explores the fractures we carry, the bonds that might heal them, and the quiet, unseen forces shaping every life. Each story blends lyrical intensity with emotional grit to reveal the tender and the terrifying in equal measure.
For more than twenty-five years, Harris-Fool has published essays, short stories, and poems in LGBTQ outlets, creating space for queer voices across intimate and speculative landscapes. His upcoming series, The Riftwalker Saga, begins with Between Stars & Souls: a heart-wrenching science fiction epic where memory and destiny collide through the intertwined lives of two young men bound by forces older than the stars. Equal parts psychological thriller, metaphysical mystery, and romantic odyssey, his stories are made to linger long after the last page.
Away from the keyboard, PJ is a full-fledged sci-fi nerd, a devoted explorer of spirited political and religious debate, and an unapologetic advocate for queer representation in every arena he inhabits. At home, he is held firmly under the paws of his beloved rescue mutts, Izzy and Cora. He maintains that every creative accomplishment in his life is simply a ruse to justify spoiling them with treats, toys, and unreasonable levels of affection. They allow him to believe he is in charge.
In his parallel career as a top-producing Realtor in Fort Wayne, Indiana, he has been named 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 representation in housing.
He believes in love stories that hurt a little, science fiction that aches like truth, and a world that becomes more humane every time someone dares to tell their story.

A haunting, poetic novella about grief, memory, and the unfinished songs we carry.

A starship. A suicide mission. A bond that defies the laws of reality.

The clocks slipped back, and something in me slipped with them. I never expect it to hit as hard as it does, but every year, like clockwork, I feel my body dim. Mornings drag. Nights come too early. I sleep too long, yet never feel rested. Inside, everything feels muted. Not broken, just distant, like my emotions are speaking from another room.
I know the name for it. Seasonal affective disorder. That doesn’t make it easier, but at least it gives shape to the fog.
On the better days, I pull...
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.
I...
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,...
