Born in Philadelphia, Howard (Hal) (Howie) Thomas Manogue spent the first twenty-one years of his life conforming to logical beliefs and rituals. He spent the next twenty-six years of his life rebelling against those beliefs and rituals in one way or another. For the last twelve years he has been studying and writing about consciousness. His journey has taken him through the history of religious thought and the intricacies of philosophy as well as other associations and influences that impact the human belief system.
Retiring from the shoe industry after 35 years of “sole” searching, Hal discovered his real soul when he started writing poetry in 1996. His first book, Short Sleeves A Book For Friends, was self-published in 2003. His second book, Short Sleeves A Book For Friends 2006 Collection, was released in May 2006. His third book, Short Sleeves a Book for Friends 2007 Collection, was released in January 2007. Short Sleeves Spirit Songs was published in July 2008. Spirit Songs Echoes of Silence will be released in 2014. Essays from his book, Short Sleeves Insights: Live An Ordinary Life In A Non-Ordinary Way (published in May 2008) have been republished in other books and newsletters around the globe. All these books are available on his Web site: http://www.shortsleeves.net/ as well as in book stores.
Hal’s poems have been published by Mystic Pop Magazine, Children of the New Earth Magazine, New Age Tribune, Seasons of the Soul Newsletters, The Ascension Network, Lightship News, and Writers in the Sky E-zine. On his blog, he has published hundreds of essays on consciousness. More of his essays can be found on: bizymoms.com, authorsden.com, holistichealth.com, and newagetribune.com, and www.halmanogue.blogspot.com.
Hal currently lives in Brentwood, Tennessee with his wife, Joanie.

Hal's new Book, Living Behind The Beauty Parlor will be released in NOvember 2010. Here's the back cover intro:
Mase, a consciousness known as Alfie on Ofu Island in a dimension called Ebis, chooses to manifest on Earth as a human with Downs syndrome in order to show us that we are more than we have perceived possible. He reveals that we are living behind the veil of this beauty parlor we call life, blinded by materialism, greed, and ego-centric notions that distort the true beauty of our spiritual selves.
Through Mase’s love, poetry, and art, his two moms Cindy and Margie; his biological donor and surrogate father Alan; and his grandparents Warren and Claire, we learn that we are living parallel lives in other dimensions.
After a near-death experience that changed their marriage and every aspect of their lives, Warren and Claire convert their Nashville acreage into Perception Farms, an eco-friendly community where homeless people are restored to dignity and productivity through education, understanding, and spiritual awareness. Follow the Russell family as they expand their minds and the outreach of their commune through wisdom and a love strong enough to change the world.
Depicting fantasy-like scenery and utmost respect for Mother Nature, Living Behind the Beauty Parlor will inspire readers to accept diversity, honor all life, and live in a higher awareness of truth.
