NOTE: H. L. Macfarlane is currently on a publishing hiatus to focus on her mental health. She hopes to return with new titles in early 2026 and appreciates your understanding in the meantime.

Hayley Louise Macfarlane hails from the very tiny hamlet of Balmaha on the shores of Loch Lomond in Scotland. After graduating with a PhD in molecular genetics she did a complete 180 and moved into writing fiction. Though she loves writing multiple genres (fantasy, romance, sci-fi, psychological fiction and horror so far!) she is most widely known for her enemies-to-lovers STEM rom-com, The Unbalanced Equation, and her Gothic, Scottish fairy tale, Prince of Foxes � book one of the Bright Spear trilogy.

I suffered from massive burn out - plus AI is making indie publishing very difficult because fewer people are buying books from Amazona because they don't want to sift through all the AI books that are filling the rankings, resulting in smaller royalties - so I had to take a step back for a while to focus on my mental & physical health, and take a salaried job as my primary source of income. I know having to wait an indeterminate amount of time for Dark Spear is disappointing, but I swear it's still coming out eventually! Thank you for your patience until then <3(less)

I plan to release the Dark Spear duology in the first quarter of 2022 - they'll be back-to-back releases so both books will be out by June next year for sure :)(less)

This was everything I wanted it to be: Gothic, tense, dark, melodramatic, romantic, and written in beautifully rhythmic prose reminiscent of the fairy tales I read as a child. Highly recommend.

“I never knew how much I was waiting for you until I met you.”
H.L. Macfarlane, The Unbalanced Equation

“The advancements made in human medicine, and human technology, and human ingenuity, meant that humans were beginning to forget what it felt like to fear 'otherness'. They believed themselves above tales of faeries, and magic in general, though Lachlan knew there were humans capable of magic, too.”
H.L. Macfarlane, Prince of Foxes

“He held himself with the languid certainty of a rich, white man who’d never had to worry about anything of significant importance his entire life.”
H.L. Macfarlane, The Unbalanced Equation

Topics Mentioning This Author

“The madness of the eyes is the lure of the abyss. Sirens lurk in the dark depths of the pupils as they lurk at the bottom of the sea, that I know for sure - but I have never encountered them, and I am searching still for the profound and plaintive gazes in whose depths I might be able, like Hamlet redeemed, to drown the Ophelia of my desire.”
Jean Lorrain, Monsieur de Phocas
