H.H. Rune’s series blends fiction along with parts of her own life into a literary social experiment of a set of traveling books that are sent out to strangers with a mission of finding their way back to her. Her first two books in the Extraordinary Life Seeker series- Find Me, Book One- She believed in the Kindness of Strangers and Find Me, Book Two- She’d find out what she was made of- are available now. To further accentuate her request that her readers pass along the books as part of the story, her Limited Edition-Trackable versions have been spotted all over the U.S. as well as Canada, England, Ireland and Iceland. Find Me, Book Three will be out early 2025.

Notes from my conversation with H:

No names in book (use Mr. Fun).

Not a character assassination. Instead, my responses to lessons learned from my experiences.

20 limited editions of each novel. Send to friends and they dispersed them. Sent also to Booktalkers and did a Goodreads giveaway. QR code in front of book sends them to fill out google form, "tracking" the book's location in the world, and--ideally--getting them to post a picture. Software mapped out the Google form responses.

Considers her work Autofiction.

Upcoming events for H:

May: Reading at White Oak Books in Vancouver, WA. 

July: Signing at Northwest Book Fair  (19 Officer's Row Vancouver WA)
