How It All Started

Harris L. Kligman embarked on his writing odyssey from an unconventional and modest locale: his home in North Stamford, CT. For an entire decade, this unassuming abode served as his creative haven, fondly referred to as the "downstairs dungeon." Within these unpretentious confines, he diligently labored amidst Spartan surroundings—a bare floor, a rickety chair, and an aging Windows desktop PC that Microsoft had long forsaken in terms of updates.

​

Kligman's writing regimen commenced in the early morning hours and persisted until exhaustion prevailed, sometimes resulting in unintended keyboard-induced naps. His process defied convention, eschewing the meticulous plot outlines and character sketches favored by many writing experts. Instead, Harris would conceive a title and plunge headlong into the narrative, permitting the storyline and characters to blossom organically as he penned his thoughts. These creative elements were nurtured by a rich tapestry of experiences garnered over thirty-five years of traversing three continents during his international travels.

Each writing session culminated at the conclusion of a chapter, only to be resumed the following morning with a blank canvas, devoid of predetermined notions about the story's trajectory. 

​

Harris Kligman's storytelling wellspring drew from a deep reservoir of life experiences, including his globe-trotting adventures, an extended residence in South Korea spanning four and a half years, and a twenty-year tenure as a Reserve Military Intelligence officer with the United States Army.

​

Upon completing a novel, Harris would entrust the manuscript to a local office supply store for professional binding. Subsequently, he sought the insights of friends and family before consigning the manuscript to the confines of a cardboard box, where they lay dormant for nearly a decade.

​

In sum, Kligman's literary repertoire boasts an impressive collection of approximately eleven novels, five children's stories, and numerous short stories, each contributing to his literary legacy.

​

The notion of publishing these literary gems did not crystallize until the advent of the 2020 pandemic. From that pivotal moment, history was made, as ten novels and three illustrated children's books journeyed into the hands of global readers through platforms such as Amazon, and graced the shelves of prominent retailers like Walmart, Books - A - Million and Barnes & Noble.

​

As 2024 unfolds, the literary treasures cultivated during those ten years in the "downstairs dungeon" persist in captivating audiences worldwide. Fresh titles, including "A Woman To Die For," emerge to enrich the literary landscape, promising more captivating stories and enduring narratives for readers to savor.
