E. L. Harper
E. L. Harper is a master at weaving together the heart-pounding excitement of sci-fi with the heart-fluttering romance of a sweeping love story. Hailing from the beautiful northern Michigan, she balances her time between crafting unforgettable tales of passion and adventure and being a dedicated wife and mother of three.
When she’s not creating captivating worlds on the page, E. L. Harper can be found lost in the pages of a Jane Austen novel or blasting through a galaxy far, far away with Star Wars. And if that isn’t enough excitement, she loves to dive into the immersive worlds of Blizzard video games, where she can become anyone from a mighty warrior to a clever strategist.
In the world of science fiction and romance, E.L. Harper’s “Hollow Circles” offers a unique twist with its steamy arranged-marriage love triangle set in a galactic backdrop. Princess Julia Montgomery had a plan for her future, but when Vasuman Enterprises breaks the defense treaty of Selari, everything changes. With the planet exposed, the Imperial Navy and a mercenary Coalition group offer help with one condition – a royal marriage.
Enter Cavalier Romanov, a politician ready to prove himself to his family. The princess catches his eye, but he knows she’s already engaged to Nicholas Hawksmoor. As Julia faces difficult decisions for her planet’s survival, she must navigate her feelings for both men and the weight of her royal responsibilities.
But don’t be mistaken, Selari may be a futuristic world, but its people are as flawed and human as ever – no aliens to be found. If this sounds like a story you’d enjoy, click here to get your copy. Let’s support indie authors together!

This novel is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Daphne du Maurier, and P.G. Wodehouse. Follow the adventures of Hattie Vavaseur, an elderly woman with memory problems, as she is taken to an old mansion and encounters the mysterious and temperamental master of the house.

If you love the quirky character of Vamelda Anstruthers, keep an eye out for her cameo in M. Rebecca Wildsmith’s second murder mystery novel, Verity Easton.
