Hal Katkov is a marketing copywriter and creative director who’s developed award-winning campaigns for dozens of Fortune 500 firms, including Perrier, Toshiba, National Car Rental and Norwegian Cruise Lines.

Now, he’s turned his keyboard to the fiction world. First, he penned a stage play – FOMO – which won the ALAP/West Hollywood Pride Play Reading Festival. It’s also been performed live in multiple venues.

He then transformed FOMO into an engaging, heartwarming debut novel and unveiled it on Amazon, where it’s gaining traction every day.

Hal and his partner of twenty-five years live in Palm Desert, CA, where the pool is warm and the martinis are not.
