I'm Bo, and I write as B. B. Hartwich: dark erotic science fiction and fantasy, from LitRPG and harem adventures to gothic tales. I'm originally from Denmark. In 2004 I visited Washington State, where I met my wife, Angela, and in 2006 I officially moved to Washington and married her. I became a stepfather to two wonderful girls, and shortly afterward a daughter and a son joined the family.
I worked as a security officer for four years, and during that time I wrote my first book, in 2008. It took four years to find an editor I trusted. Kimberly Dunn of Dunn Editing accepted the challenge, and together we turned that manuscript into a finished book.
In August 2022 I published the opening volume of The James Hamill Chronicle, an ambitious five-book saga with installments of more than 500 pages each. Three of the five are out so far. Since then my writing has grown more than I ever expected. There are now more than 185 books, along with box sets and audiobooks. Among my completed series are the four-book fantasy The Dungeon in the Wall, the two-book Beyond the Blaze, and the two-book The Search for Atlantis.
Lately I’ve been writing some of my favorite stories yet. Billions, with a B follows Brian Thomson, a factory worker who inherits a fortune measured in true billions, and it’s now seven books strong. Stripekin, my completed three-book sci-fi series, takes a tired survey crew on one last routine job that turns into a whole new life. The Pale Court keeps growing, and The Price of the Deal just got its second book.
I also love a story that stands on its own, like Purgatory, a journey through the country that waits after death; The Mortal King, where an ordinary man follows the demoness from his dreams into a brutal new world; and Mercer, a cold, deliberate reckoning for a man whose closest people decided he was expendable.
First and foremost, I'm a family man, and I spend most of my free time with my wife and kids. Away from home I work in shipping and receiving. I started there on March 1, 2022, after six years as a delivery driver, when an injury pushed me to change jobs so I could keep providing for my family. Many of these books get finished late at night after the day job.
When time allows, I enjoy 3D printing, the outdoors, prospecting, metal detecting, coin collecting, and computer gaming. My writing comes from a love of storytelling and the wish to build immersive worlds that pull readers in. Thank you for reading. That still means more to me than anything.
