Andrew H. Housley

Andrew H. Housley is the author of Waiting Impatiently and Invisible Sun — novels that trace the difficult, essential work of looking inward. His writing is visceral and unapologetic, asking the reader to face what most of us expend considerable energy to avoid: grief, the unease of life, the pain of growth, and the true cost of discovering who was there all along. Invisible Sun is a Gold Book Award winner.

Invisible Sun follows a man reckoning with his brother's suicide against the haunted backdrop of New Orleans — a novel about grief, fractured faith, and the will to survive. Waiting Impatiently traces a man undone by heartbreak who finds, through stillness and hard-won ritual, something closer to himself.

New Orleans, where Housley makes his home, proves a wellspring for this kind of writing. The city's stubborn refusal to be otherwise, set against its constant edge of impermanence, creates a landscape that asks the same questions his fiction does — what are we holding, what can we release, and how do we become something we can live with?

Beyond the page, Housley is a board-certified health and wellness consultant, an E-RYT yoga instructor with over 25 years of experience, and a certified FRC movement and mobility specialist. He is also the creator and host of Must I Evolve?, a podcast exploring personal growth, consciousness, and the everyday struggle of becoming.

His work speaks to readers of literary fiction, psychological fiction, and spiritual memoir — anyone willing to sit with hard questions long enough to find something true.
