I run Hold Fast Publishing LLC in Harriman, New York, focusing on small-town romance novels and supporting independent authors with publishing and marketing services. Along with my own books, I offer a platform where authors can connect with editors, cover designers, and other publishing professionals.

A Clear View From Writing to Publishing With Real-World Business Experience

I have experience both as a writer and in the business world, having published 12 small-town romance novels and managed a gift shop that grew into a million-dollar business. This blend helps me support authors not only with their stories but also with the practical steps needed to succeed in publishing.


Hold Fast Publishing is built on the idea of holding fast through challenges to reach long-term personal and professional goals. I want to offer a strong platform for independent authors while connecting them with editors, designers, and marketing professionals to build a network that helps everyone grow.

Building a New Path for Independent Voices in Harriman and Beyond

I started this business after my previous publisher closed, which gave me full control of my 12 novels. Since 2018, I’ve been determined to find a way to publish and market my work on my own terms, while offering that same opportunity to other authors who want to take charge of their writing careers.


My focus is on readers and writers who appreciate unique, small press books, especially in Harriman and nearby areas. I want to connect local book lovers with fresh stories and support independent publishing in our community, helping authors build their presence and reach readers in a changing market.

The Author Behind the Stories

Mike Geraghty writes contemporary romance with a small-town heart and a focus on connection, humor, and real relationships. As both an author and the founder of Hold Fast Publishing, he brings firsthand experience to every story he tells. His books offer the kind of endings readers want—earned, hopeful, and honest.
