In his free time while not writing, Hatchell enjoys procrastinating on writing, playing games on his LG flat-screen television, forgetting to read, and eating food. He would like to be a fiction writer, but somehow can never find the time to do it. Hatchell lives in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with his family of three and his cat, as well as a Nintendo Switch. Occasionally, he used to see the ghost of his passed feline on the way home from Elementary School.
