Susie Hara is the author of the novels The House on Ashbury Street (Mumblers Press, 2023) and Finder of Lost Objects (Ithuriel's Spear Press, 2014). Kirkus reviews called The House on Ashbury Street a "compelling story." Finder of Lost Objects was a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award and winner of an International Latino Book Award for Popular Fiction. Michelle Richmond called it "a smart detective story, a meditation on romantic and familial love, and a celebration of the lesser-known corners of the author's city, San Francisco." Before turning her hand to fiction she was a writer/performer, and her work appeared on numerous San Francisco stages, including The Marsh and Z Space; her play, Lost and Found in the Mission, written with Rowena Richie, won a Best of Fringe award in the San Francisco Fringe Festival.
