Al Hess is author of World Running Down, Key Lime Sky, Shake Out the Ghosts, Yours Celestially, and the award-winning Hep Cats of Boise series.

When not hunched before a computer screen, Al can be found at his art desk. He does portraits in both pencil and oil paint, and loves drawing fellow authors’ characters nearly as much as his own. He writes cozy and uplifting stories with queer, trans, and neurodiverse representation.
