Born and raised in the Washington D.C. area, writing has been a passion of mine since I was young. I started writing my first book, My Colorblind Rainbow at the age of 22 as a hobby, not actually pursuing a career in writing at the time. At 26, I decided to continue writing My Colorblind Rainbow, taking a leap of faith and following my dreams of self-publishing my first book.  For more, follow Chanel Hardy Publications on Facebook!
