I’m Mike Geraghty, the person behind Hold Fast Publishing. I’ve been writing since my early teens and hold a BA from SUNY New Paltz and an MA from Western Connecticut State University. After working for years at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, my path shifted, leading me to the world of writing and publishing. Under the pen name Lacy Hart, I published six romance novels with Scarlet Lantern Publishing before moving on to publish under my own name.

I focus on contemporary small-town romance, with stories centered on family, friendship, humor, and relationships that give readers the happy endings they want. As both an author and publisher, I’m committed to supporting independent writers and sharing my experiences through my blog. I invite you to join me on this journey.
