Margaret A. Harrell, a three-time MacDowell Colony fellow, was Hunter’s copy editor and Jim Silberman’s assistant editor on Hell’s Angels at Random House, where she also worked on other highly successful books. With degrees from Duke University and Columbia University, she studied three years at the Zurich, Switzerland, C. G. Jung Institute. She has lived in the United States, Morocco, Switzerland, and Belgium and has eighteen published books, including Keep This Quiet! My Relationship with Hunter S. Thompson, Milton Klonsky, and Jan Mensaert and Keep THIS Quiet Too: More Adventures with Hunter S. Thompson, Milton Klonsky, Jan Mensaert. Also, the coffee table, high-end, in-color scans of her letters from Hunter plus narrative: The Hell’s Angels Letters: Hunter S. Thompson, Margaret Harrell and the Making of an American Classic (hard and soft cover available only at the Norfolk Press.com website). In a totally different vein are her works of experiential spirituality, which have laudatory reviews.

In SPACE ENCOUNTERS II: An Underground Principia, Margaret Ann Harrell leaps beyond existentialism, beyond cellular molecular electric, beyond epistemology, beyond phenomenology, beyond quantum physics, beyond first second and third person narrative, beyond first person singular, beyond tragedy, beyond comedy, beyond all genres, beyond space and time, beyond yin and yang, beyond dualism in all its manufactured forms, beyond encyclopedic knowledge, beyond gravity, beyond electromagnetics, beyond nondualism, beyond death, beyond 3-D, beyond sound and light to where there is no distance to where there are no gaps to where the ever changing creative imagination is the host of all and everything. SPACE ENCOUNTERS II: An Underground Principia is a masterpiece, a miracle.

A sought-after speaker, she is also an editor, advanced light body teacher in the LuminEssence school, and an experimental cloud photographer.  Margaret is co-organizer of the New Orleans GonzoFest with Kent Fielding. Home – Margaret A. Harrell (margaretharrell.com)
