Hello lovely readers!
          	
          	Just dropping by with some VERY exciting news… my debut novel, FULL THROTTLE, is officially out in bookstores on August 18, 2026! ️♥️ you can now pre-order a copy from the Penguin Random House website or from any major bookseller (i.e. Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Waterstones). Some indies might be carrying it too, so please check whether you can order through your local bookstore!
          	
          	Even more excitingly, my UK publisher (@books.afterhours) is giving away 5 FREE PROOF COPIES today, so please go check out their Instagram story if you’re interested :)
          	
          	You can also follow along on my bookstagram (@jkmaclaren) or add FULL THROTTLE to your “want-to-read” shelf on Goodreads (my publisher has flagged that this is hugely helpful because it means that bookstores are more likely to order copies in, which hopefully means more of you can get your hands on it in August if you want a copy!).
          	
          	I just wanted to finish by saying a huge, enormous, “crying-while-I-write-this” thank you to all of you for being the best community over the years. I feel so lucky to have such supportive, funny, clever readers that have championed me from the very first draft of “Backstage Girl” — you guys really are the very best. None of this would have been possible without you. 
          	
          	Looking forward to all that’s to come, eek!
          	
          	Affectionately,
          	
          	J.K.

Hi! I know I am very late to the party but I absolutely adored the Toronto Girls series and I am kind of heartbroken that its no longer here - is there any way, I can read the stories again. They were my absolute favourite!

I know its been a while Ms. MacLaren but I remember reading the first few chapters of Backstage Girl but I never got to finish it and this is absolutely heartbreaking since I have not been here on wattpad in a long while.
          
          Is there anyway to read it again? I'm so sorry for asking

Hi! I have been looking everywhere for the Rich Boys Club book and I really hope you publish it since I would love to buy it! It is such a great story, I miss it

JKMacLaren

@CheleSC aww thank you so much! RBC has been taken down for some editing, but I'd really love to publish it one day, so hopefully it'll be back in the next few years ;) 
            
            I'll let you know if it's ever available to read again!

Hi! I started reading Thread of Gold and was wondering where I could buy it in physical book form?

JKMacLaren

@DarlingAuth0r hey there! Aww thanks so much for your interest, it really made me smile ❤️️ sadly the TOG series is only available in digital format, but I'll definitely let you know if that ever changes!

Just wondering! How often will you be updating twisted fortune? I’m so obsessed!!

JKMacLaren

@Kassidy908 hey there! Aww this is so sweet, thank you ❤️️ I'm currently updating on Wednesday and Friday, and there's about 10 chapters left to go, so it should be wrapping sometime around late October!

Hi there! I just logged into my Wattpad after a crazy couple months but I wanted to say that I loooove “Rich Boys Club” and I was sooo excited to read it again for a 4th time! I’m sad that I won’t get a chance to read it again but thank you for giving me the opportunity to actually read it. I hope you make it into a physical copy because i definitely wouldn’t mind buying it! lol I don’t think I’ll ever find a story as good as that one.

Oh no, I’m so sorry that you only found out once I’d already taken the story down! Thank you so much for all your kind words about RBC — it means the world to me, and I’ll definitely let you know if I ever decide to physically publish it! :)
