Welcome! I’m H. J. Nelson, a (slightly unhinged) fantasy author of unforgettable love stories set in worlds you’ll never want to leave. You might want to risk adventuring into my books if you love gorgeous, dangerous worlds that feel real, fierce (and feral) heroines, and love worth risking everything for.

I got my start writing on Wattpad, where my debut novel The Last She grew to over 13 million reads, 158K followers, and was optioned by Sony Pictures. The full trilogy—The Last She, The Last City, and The Last Creation—are available wherever books are sold(find it on Audible here!). If you love post-apocalyptic romance, found family, or heroines who refuse to give up, this story’s for you. You can read the free prologue, The Inevitable End, here.

Born and raised in Idaho, I made a brave attempt to juggle writing, motherhood, and documenting my chaotic author journey on my Instagram.

If this all sounds like an adventure you want to be a part of, then send a raven posthaste! (Or, for the weary travelers, join my newsletter, which has free stories, writing tips, and behind-the-scene peeks at my upcoming novels 😉

Till our next adventure!
