That Wore Off Quickly. Today is that one day of the year when I can't see for most of a day. Yes, it's time for my annual retinal exam, when I get dilated enough to see through the veil and wave to the Fae. Fun times. Usually, I take a nap after and sleep it off. Today, though? I could see much…

The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1

Beating My Head Against Code This weekend, there was time spent beating my head against code. This is otherwise known as updating my website. There was a Wordpress plugin that I used on my book pages that had a major security flaw. The creators of that plugin appear to have abandoned it, so I…

The Sea Prince is now the Sea King, and it's time to save his kingdom and claim the Coral Throne. The end of the war is in sight, but treachery runs as deep as the ocean. Ebook preorder now available. Paperback preorder coming soon books2read.com/u/38aENB

It Snowed. Let me repeat that. IT SNOWED. Why is this so groundbreakingly weird? Because I live just north of Orlando. This is where people go to vacation AWAY from snow. It is not supposed to snow here! And yet, we had two nights of below freezing weather (in the 20s, with windchills between 8…

Guess I'll post this again

The Sea Prince is one of the SPFBO11 books! Let's see how far we go!

Writing romance is a political act. It's an act of defiance. And sometimes, it's an act of solidarity. Stand up for Minnesota and for the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund by donating to the Romance for Minnesota fundraiser. janehadleywrites.com/romanceformn/

To all my fellow writers out there -- if you get a call or email from Epistle Media LLC, block them. They called me last week and told me that they wanted to acquire my book. When I ask them which one, "Chloe" paused and then pulled out "John Zebedee Meets the Heir of the Elvenlands." 1/7

Insert Phantom Bagpipes Here. It is once again time for the annual aural hallucinations. Yes, it's the day after the Highland Games. Insert phantom bagpipes here. Although I'm not hearing them this year as much as I usually do. I blame the weather shift yesterday that meant the entire games shut…

I do my research to the old fashioned way. Books. Lots and lots of books. Granted, some of them are electronic, but I can't get my hands on an physical copy of an 1899 train schedule.

This is Weird. Isn’t This Weird? This is weird. Isn't this weird? The world is on fire and things are just getting worse and worse, and I'm over here in my little corner of the internet saying "Ummm... buy my book?" So I suppose this is my way of saying that the blog and newsletter are going to be…

Happy New Year? I Think? Boy, 2026 started off... I think that's all we can say, isn't it. 2026 started off. Happy New Year? I think? Today is my first day back from a much-needed break. Today, I get started on the sensitivity edits on The Coral Throne, which I hope won't take more than a week or…

Pleased to announce that I made it through the lottery and The Sea Prince is a participant in SPFBO 11! #SPFBO11

New Release: Have Yourself A Merry Little Witchmas! New Release: Have Yourself A Merry Little Witchmas! Merlina Sherbourne was ready to close her magical shop for the holidays—until a charming stranger appears at her door carrying a curse and a quiet kind of desperation. Camber Kincaid never meant…

Back in September, my editor at Riverdale Avenue Books told me about a novella anthology he was putting together for holiday themed paranormal romance. I said, "You know, _Have Yourself a Merry Little Witchmas_ is *right there*." (long pause....) 1/2

I've been busy. Did i miss the start of the traditional "It's December, therefore a writing organization must have a meltdown?"

Merry Everything and Happy Always I'm calling it -- this is my last blog post of 2025. I'm officially taking that break I mentioned last week, and I'm doing it right this time. So today is when I get to wish you a merry everything and happy always. I'm currently starting the wrap up of 2025.…

Stage Right "And so, having disposed of the monster, exit our hero through the front door, stage right...." If you're of a certain age, you might recognize that quote from the Bugs Bunny cartoon "Hair-raising Hare." Being of a certain age, I tend to trot this line out once I've accomplished…

Thirty! Ish. Thirty-ish. It used to be that when you finished writing an article, you marked it -30-. Thirty meant done. Complete. Finished. Yesterday, I hit Thirty on Have Yourself a Merry Little Witchmas. Ish. Thirty-ish. It came in WAY over my target words. I was told November 1st and 20,000…

Winding Down It's the end of October, and my brain is starting the process of winding down for the end of the year. Which is a little bit of a problem, because I am two (I think two) chapters from finishing Have Yourself a Merry Little Witchmas, and it's due in on Friday! No winding down! Must…

Valdosta State University, your English Department wants to have a word with your marketing team...

Jiggery-Pokery In the past week, I've put my entire upcoming schedule into a Pop-o-Matic, which has created great jiggery-pokery in my calendar. First and foremost, due to circumstances beyond my control, and which involve not owning a time machine and therefore not getting the books in time, my…

New Release! Lorcan is finally returning to Eire, his mates by his side. In order to reclaim his rightful inheritance, he must face his greatest challenge... His own family. Ravenflight. Book 3 of Blood of the Raven. books2read.com/u/bPOL9l #ravenflight #newrelease #newbook #romantasy

“I forgot to turn off the subtitles on my inside voice.” "I forgot to turn off the subtitles on my inside voice." The line that made me giggle for several minutes. I am enjoying this manuscript. These characters are wonderfully snarky, and I'm just having fun. Now, that's not to say that i don't…

Breathing Space. The three week run of shows is now over, and I have a little breathing space before my next outing. Time to rest, to resupply, and to get some writing done! And other writing work -- page proofs came in today for Ravenflight, and I need to turn these around quickly. I also need to…

Tonight, TheoReads is offering a discussion on newsletters and why they're important for writers. I'll be one of the speakers, and you can join us here: luma.com/dewvro5u

I couldn't decide which photo to use as my new headshot, so I have two headshots now.

Two Down, One to Go… Past Me was insane. That's all there is to it. To schedule three shows in three weeks? Bonkers. Two down, one to go. We got home from Necronomicon Tampa last night, and we have four days to reset before we reload the car for the Page and Pen Festival at the Oviedo Mall. In the…

Countdown to Smut Lovers. 3…2…1! It's Monday the 15th. Countdown to Smut Lovers. 3... 2... 1... I'm mostly ready. The books are packed. The scooter is ready to load. I got my hair trimmed today and I'm doing my color tomorrow (my hair will be purple when you see me at Smut Lovers.) I still have to…

The Only Constant is Change Have you heard the phrase "The only constant is change?" It's true, especially in publishing. Trends change, and you have to go with it. And that's why the entire Blood of the Raven series is getting new covers to celebrate the release of book three! Wait, what? Didn't…

Is This Thing On? Tap. Taptap. Is this thing on? I'm back. Did you miss me? Honestly, I know that the odds are good that most folks didn't notice I was taking time off. But here we are in September, and it's time for me to get back to work. Sort of. Because it took me much longer than I was…

I have all of my self-pub titles available for sale on Itch.io. Or at least, I did... Because of the actions of some VERY bad actors, Valve and Itch are in hot water with their credit card processors. In response, they've pulled down ALL queer and erotic content. (1/2)

*TAPS THE SIGN* also, below is a thread of action you can take, from petitions, to emails to phone numbers (with some scripts you can copy/adapt) as well as ways to support affected creators. do as many as you can. try to do them all. 🧵 1/12

Crunch Time! My original plan was for this to be my last blog post before my break started on July 1st. Instead, while this is still going to be my last blog post until September, it's crunch time that starts tomorrow. My break will start August 1st or whenever I finish writing The Coral Throne.…

If you've read The Sea Prince and are waiting on the second book, I'm about two-thirds done writing it, and hope to have the manuscript finished by the end of July. If you haven't read The Sea Prince, I'm about two-thirds of the way done with writing the sequel. books2read.com/u/brx00w

If It’s Not One Thing… If It's not one thing, it's two things. Or six. Usually, it's six. Last week? It was a doctor appointment every morning, then heading out to the writing retreat after, going right into the Renaissance Faire on Saturday. Which, I suppose, is my way of saying I'm tired today.…

We can make it a thing. It can happen! PRO CUOMO is a logical fallacy that dismisses the crime of sexual harassment. Pass it on.

Live from Sunday Night! I'm off for a writing retreat tomorrow, so I'm coming to you live from Sunday night this week. I'm hoping to get some quality words written. I've pretty much admitted to myself that there's no way that I'll be getting 50K words written in 15 days. It's not happening. So…
