Hal Bodner is the author of the best selling gay vampire novel, Bite Club. He tells people he was born in East Philadelphia because so few people know where Cherry Hill, New Jersey is located. The first person he saw in his life was C. Everet Coop, future US Surgeon General, who delivered him. Thus, Hal was ironically destined to become a heavy smoker.
He moved to West Hollywood in the 1980s and was only induced to leave when he found a Fab-U-Lous hundred year old mansion in Highland Park...cheap. He is currently going through the hair-pulling Hell of renovation and restoration.
Hal has been an entertainment lawyer, a scheduler for a 976 sex telephone line, a theater reviewer and the personal assistant to a television star. For awhile, he owned Heavy Petting, a pet boutique where all the movie stars shopped for their Pomeranians. Currently, he owns an exotic bird shop.
He has never been a waiter.
He lives with assorted dogs, and birds, the most notable of which is an eighty year old irritable, flesh-eating military macaw named after his icon,Tallulah. He often quips he is a slave to fur and feathers and regrets only that he isn't referring to mink and marabou. He does not have cats because he tends to sneeze on them.
Rapidly approaching middle-age, he remembers Nixon.
He got "married" very late in life to an incredible man. Sadly, after five amazing, if turbulent, years he was widowed and can sometimes be found sunbathing at his husband's grave while trying to avoid cemetery caretakers screaming at him to put his shirt back on.
In Flesh and Stone is Hal's first crack at paranormal erotic romance and he enjoyed writing it immensely. For Love of the Dead is the erotic paranormal zombie romance that "they" all said couldn't be written; so, of course, Hal just had to write it!
At the moment, he is putting the finishing touches on his new trilogy of gay superhero novels while, at the same time, pulling his hair out over his first science fiction novel. Along with Stoker Award winning author, Lisa Morton, Hal is launching a new e-publishing website, Phantom Hollow Publishing, which focuses on horror and "out there" paranormal romance.
