Popping in to say my Ever After + Mission Impossible YA Adventure, Codename: CNDRLA, is officially on submission, and I love it an unhealthy amount. Fingers crossed so hard and breathing into my emotional-support paper bag.

Excited to shout it out! Midnight Falls will hit the shelves Fall of 2027! #YA #mystery #charlesbridge #MartinLit @hayleyreesechow.bsky.social @epstavs.bsky.social

Exciting news for Erin & I today! 🥳

My eldest book baby almost has 200 ratings! 🎉 Thanks everyone for reading & rating! And if you’re looking for a dark YA Fantasy with a strong FMC, a side of no-spice rivals to lovers, a shadow boyfriend, a snarky cat, the rotting undead, and some epic battles — ebooks are free!

Being a working parent is fielding a call from your boss on a Saturday to talk about your career goals while simulataneously having a silent ninja fight with your 8-year-old.

Okay, I see authors asking for artist recommendations quite often, & as an author with a character art obsession for the past 6 or so years, I am here to help! This is a kind of um... extensive(?) guide, (Please see notes on obsession & 6 years 😅) but hopefully it's helpful! (All handles are IG)

eeeep! Soooo close to 200 zon ratings! If you're looking for a dark YA epic fantasy that features a snarky cat, the rotting undead, and a side of sweet, slowburn rivals-to-lovers with a shadow boy, this is for you! (and ebooks are free!) #books

So we all know Florida man, but have you met: Florida snowman?!

Apropos of nothing, what genres do you think people living in a dystopian society like to read? 🤔

These Pokémon/book mashup posts are absolutely ridiculous. But I’m a nerd, and they make me smile, so I’m totally posting them. 🤣

Welp, apparently this week was the last straw for me—I had to delete the X app. My account still exists there, but I just can’t anymore.

I love how Instagram is changing their aspect ratio to 4:5 like they can just slip into TikTok’s shoes and no one will notice. 😏 Sweet baby Instagram, you can just be yourself. Let people love you for you, hun.

Just a friendly reminder that there can be more than two queens on a chessboard, and it’s better to have more kings on your side in checkers. It’s okay to lift each other up.

I’ll just leave these here. Don’t mind me.

I swear I do really want to use this app more. But I’ll be honest, it seems to work a little differently than the others. Any tips?

Husband: What car rental company did we rent through? Me: Alamo Husband: Why’d you get one that’s so hard to remember? Me: ??? . . . 🤦‍♀️

So the @writehive.bsky.social mentees have been announced, & I'm so incredibly honored to be @erinmscheuer.bsky.social's mentor this year on her addicting, heartfelt celeb romance, LOVE SONGS & OTHER LIES. Basically, if you can't tell from the moodboard & mock cover I made, I'm obssessed. LET'S GO!

Well, my YA epic fantasy trilogy made it to 500 Goodreads ratings today — which obviously means it’s time for a celebratory dance around the kitchen. 🥳 (And if you’re looking for epic battles, sweet romance, the rotting undead, & a snarky cat, book 1 is free to download!)

So this family just rolled up to Barnes & Noble in their Christmas pajamas at opening time. And I don’t know what Saturday-before-Christmas tradition this must be, but I’m totally jealous.

When your audiobook narrator makes a cosplay of your character and you just melt into a puddle of happy rainbows. 😭🤩💛🙏🥹

Now whenever someone asks what "trust, but verify" means, I’ll be giving this real-world example from yesterday: *tucking 6yo in* 6yo: Mom, I would never tackle you like (8yo brother), because you’re innocent. Me: Aw, you’re so sweet. *cuddles closer* . . . 6yo: …Mom, have you ever k*lled anyone?

Cover reveal day for Into the Abyss (Into the Churn 3)! I can’t believe how gorgeous these books are going to look together! 🥹 (Preorders are live today! Or if you want to catch up on the series, the first 3 Into the Churn books are free to read on KU!)

It’s an art reveal day for Into the Abyss (Into the Churn 3), and I’m absolutely obsessed with this beautiful piece by shayndl_art! I’m so totally stoked for the cover reveal & preorder launch on Tuesday! 🤩 (Until then, Into the Churn 1, 2, & 2.5 are free to read on KU!)

Between AI, bots, & misinformation, the internet feels a lot like the third book of the Hunger Games these days. And we’re all over here like Peeta Mellark asking “real or not real?”

6yo: Mom, I’m going to put a security camera on my gingerbread house. O_O You all, I am not ready for this generation. 🤦‍♀️

This year, for the first time, my family decided we didn’t want to pretend that we actually like turkey, and my mom made crawfish etoufee as the main dish instead. Best thanksgiving dinner ever. 10/10 recommend.

Happy Thanksgiving from Waffle & Turnip! Hope you all are having an amazing day! (This doodle brought to you by Mimi’s crayons. 😅)

I made it 1000 ratings on Goodreads!🎊 And the last review was such a glowing recommendation for the Into the Churn audiobook! 🥰 If you’re interested in a free audible code, you can apply for one on Whimsical’s website here! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Just got out of a 9-hour day job meeting but there’s no time to chill because my book launched today! 🥳 I’ll be having a live launch party over on IG with trivia & giveaways at 9 ET/ 8 CT! The Into the Churn (think Hunger Games + Aurora Rising) series is free to read on KU!

So, I had to drive 6 hours for work today but I couldn’t leave until a guy fixed our A/C this morning. & Whimsical Publishing had scheduled a live, pre-book-launch interview for the evening. So naturally I pulled over at a service station & did the interview from my car. 🫠

When you somehow managed to roll off of your favorite sunbathing spot, so now you get a full-blown landing pad. 🤦‍♀️

Sooo this is me trying to hang out here more & find my bookish peeps. So here’s some random books as bait: The last book I read: Heavenbreaker by Sara Wolf A series I’m currently obsessed with: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman A book I wrote: Into the Churn

From the box in the attic labeled “Hayley’s Favorite Books.” Cheers to passing them on to the next generation. 🍻

No prompt, just writing it out. #writing #poetry

Before and after walk. Do you think there’s a difference in her expression?

Just our usual weird vibes. The family resemblance is strong.

Of course I’m not revising during the Kindergarten parents’ meeting. I wouldn’t dreeeaaaaaammmmmmm of it.

Another kid activity, another chance to snatch 45 minutes to revise Midnight Falls. Happy Sunday!

Yay! I've been hearing great things about this place. So happy to have a chance to check it out! Thanks @authorpcorrell.bsky.social for the invite!

Reskeet with a pic and your age. Repping level 33 over here.

Wellp, hello bluesky world! Just another Twitter refugee over here looking for the writer's table to hang out at. Thanks to @authorpcorrell.bsky.social for the invite!
