H. L. Roberts is a writer from a small town in Kentucky. She comes from a big family and often finds herself sitting with them around the TV watching movies and just staying close, which is how she believes a family should be.

Reading is one of her passions, along with advocating for mental illnesses and epilepsy. She wants to bring awareness to invisible illnesses; the ones people know so little about. She uses her other passion, writing, to advocate for these illnesses.

23:27 is her debut novel and is the closest to her heart. The issues dealt with in this novel are the kind that touch everyone in one way or another. She hopes that each reader takes something from this book and learns from it.
