"Hunter often said Harrell was the best copy editor he'd ever worked with" (William McKeen, Outlaw Journalist). But what was the rest of the story? Keep This Quiet! captures the fear and loathing, charm and romance, of Hunter in the late 1960s - along with tales of two other underground authors. This is a perfect companion when you are reading Hell's Angels or to add background and context to Margaret's new book The Hell's Angels Letters. Read the escapades of a woman in her twenties in New York City, attracted to three fascinating authors. Included are funny letters Hunter sent Margaret during and after the publication of his break-out first book, Hell's Angels. Also, tales of woe, but in a comical retelling by outrageous Belgian poete maudit, Jan Mensaert, living in Morocco. Also included are priceless reminiscences and memorabilia of some of Hunter's oldest friends: William Kennedy, David Pierce, Rosalie Sorrels, Paul Krassner, and editor Jim Silberman, all of whom Margaret knew. Read as well letters to Margaret from the outrageous "Dr. Gonzo" (Oscar Acosta). Further featured is Greenwich Village "poet genius" Milton Klonsky, who acted as a buffer through these turbulent waters.

Autorenporträt
Margaret Ann Harrell was born in North Carolina and educated academically at Duke University (BA) and Columbia University (MA). She did postgraduate work at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich (1984-'87), followed by energy studies and investigations that continue to this day. She is a three-time MacDowell Colony fellow. For years, she lived abroad, in Morocco and Europe, returning to Raleigh, NC, to live in 2001. After that, she became an advanced-meditation light-body and luminous-body teacher - in the Orin-DaBen LuminEssence work. Margaret was a copyeditor/assistant editor at Random House, New York City, often to first-book writers who later became prominent, such as Hunter S. Thompson, who became a personal friend. Introduced to parapsychology by Dr. J. B. Rhine at Duke University, she eventually found a part of her calling in exploring the meaning and boundaries of consciousness/unconsciousness. Margaret is in demand as a speaker. Most recently, at the launch at the Canessa Gallery in San Francisco in July 2021 of her collector's coffee table book, "The 'Hell's Angels' Letters: Hunter S. Thompson, Margaret Harrell and the Making of an American Classic," in collaboration with Ron Whitehead, US National Beat Poet Laureate - published by Norfolk Press. In 2022, her lifetime collection "Particle Pinata Poems" was published as by Saeculum University Press/A Published in Heaven Series Book. In cloud photography, she has exhibited in Romania, Italy, Bruges (Belgium), and New York City. All of her photographs express a fascination with the sun. Her biography and cloud giclee photographs were also many times in Marquis Who's Who in Modern American Art, as well as Who's Who in the World. For several years she has been a VIP presenter at the Gonzofest (Louisville). Margaret, a longtime freelance book editor, now edits additionally for authors in the Self-Publishing School.
