Hi Everyone!
          	
          	I have decided to move Thanksgiving into its own 'book' because I'm already at Part 4 and there is still quite a lot left to tell, so I thought it made sense for this one-shot-turned-mini-series to become a standalone 'publication'. 
          	
          	So if you are interested in receiving updates on this fic, please add it to your Reading List!

Hi Everyone!
          
          Hope everyone is doing well, wherever you may be!
          
          I know it’s been a while since I posted an update, but here are a few notes and notices about what I’ve been up to / my plans for the next few months:
          
          - Sleepless in New York: This fic is now officially finished (if you missed it, check out the Epilogue!) There will probably be a bonus chapter at some point down the line, but I don’t have an ETA on this yet.
          
          - Thanksgiving: This is the fic I am currently working on. I was hoping that the rest of the story would fit into Part 3, but H&D had other ideas, so there will be at least one more part. Hoping to post Part 3 in the next week or so. No ETA on Part 4 yet, though.
          
          - The Highwayman: My plan for January is to work on a rewrite of Loreena McKennnit’s version of The Highway Man (based on Alfred Noyes’ poem of the same name) for a song rewrite challenge over on Tumblr. This will be a multi-part fic, but no ETA yet on the subsequent parts.
          
          - (Less Than) Noble Intentions: Apart from these side-projects, my goal for 2024 is to finish off what remains of Book 2 of the Harper and Drake trilogy.
          
          Happy holidays and happy reading!

Hi Everyone!
          
          I know I haven’t been super active recently… Summer tends to be busy with kids off school, family coming to visit, etc. so I haven’t had too much time / mental space to write.
          
          I am hoping to pick up some of my WIPs in September, as well as publish some one shots that I am planning to write for some events over on Tumblr.
          
          In the meantime, I have been taking the time to edit some of my older stuff as it was recently pointed out that I have a habit of switching from present tense to past tense when my characters are musing about something. So you may get notifications coming through of chapters being updated.
          
          In addition, I have been busy creating some art for (Un)Common Attraction via an AI art generation app. I will be adding these into the applicable chapters shortly — so check these out!
          
          Thanks!

Hi Everyone!
          
          Hope you all had a good holiday period and a happy New Year!
          
          I know my main series (Sleepless in New York and (Less Than) Noble Intentions) have not been updated in a while… This is because I have spent my time working in some one shots (Polo! and A Leviathan Surprise) which can be found in my TRR One-Shots collection.
          
          Moving forward, my posting schedule will be a bit haphazard as I have finally started something that I have been putting off doing for the past 2 years (much to my husband's disgust lol), which is... working to publish an actual, real-life book 
          
          I have had various original story ideas over the years, but TRR kept pulling me back into fanfic. But, a few months ago, I decided that rather than try to fight the tide, I should maybe adapt to it. So, this was how the idea of converting Sleepless in New York into a non-TRR original story was born, and last night, I finally took the pluge and decided to start working on it.
          
          As a result, I don't know when I will go back to working on my various TRR stories (though I do want to finish them, as I have all the endings in my head, I just need to get to writing it all!!). It really depends on how the muse flows...
          
          At the moment, I am not planning on posting chapters of this original story (I don't even have a working title or a cover yet!) as I am hoping that you will all buy the book when it gets published , but when the time comes, if anyone is interested, I am happy to provide advance copies for beta-reading, Amazon/Goodreads reviews, spreading the word, etc.
          
          In the meantime, I hope you will bear with me and thank you to everyone who has read my stuff and encouraged me to keep writing!  I would not have gotten here, or built up the courage to actually try and publish an actual friggin' novel!
          
          Love, 
          Kara

@Lunasea2022 thank you! I’ll still be working on the TRR stuff just maybe not as frequently. That said, I’m working on the next chapter of Sleepless so I’ll hopefully have that done in the next few weeks

Hi Everyone!
          
          Hope everyone had a good summer!
          
          Just a quick update on my side — work has been quite busy, but I’ve been squeezing in writing time as and when I can.
          
          Since I have been quite focused on (Less Than) Noble Intentions the past few months, I have decided to switch gears and concentrate on Sleepless in New York, with a view to finishing this fic off by the end of the year.
          
          To this end, I posted Chapter 5 - Find Me in Da Club a few weeks ago and I hope to post Chapter 6 - Let It Whip in the coming days — hope you check these out if you haven’t already!
          
          Depending on how life goes, I also want to pick up the Thanksgiving fic around Oct/Nov as well to post the next chapter in Harper and Drake’s escapades in Montana during the holiday season, since I haven’t worked on this since last year.
          
          Thanks and happy reading!

Hello everyone!
          
          Just wanted to share the good news with everyone — (Un)Common Attraction has been added to Wattpad’s Fanfic Gaming reading list!
          
          I submitted the fic several months ago on a whim, and had honestly been convinced that it didn’t make it past the selection stage, until I logged into Wattpad today to find that it had actually been accepted!
          
          So I thought I’d share this lovely surprise!

@KaraHalloway Congratulations!! It's a great fic. It's wonderful you're receiving the recognition it deserves!!

Hi everyone!
          
          I noticed that a bunch of images (chapter cover pictures and imbedded images) have become corrupted for (Un)Common Attraction and are not showing up properly.
          
          I will therefore be fixing this issue by re-uploading the affected images, so I apologise in advance if you get inundated with update notifications from me!
          
          In addition, just wanted to let you all know that I’m busy working on Chapter 13 of (Less Than) Noble Intentions, which I hope to post in the next week or so. Thereafter, my plan is to go back and try and finish Sleepless in New York (or at least make another good dent in it, as I know I’ve been neglecting this fic over the past few months while I worked on Intentions).
          
          Happy Friday!

KaraHalloway

(Un)Common Attraction has gotten a make-over!
          
          I am very excited to share with you all the new cover for (Un)Common Attraction!
          
          While I loved the old cover - which I created when I started writing and before I’d finalised how Harper looked like (which is why the girl on the cover had black hair instead of blonde) - when I came across this photo I knew I had to use it because not only do the models look like Harper, Drake and Christian, but the whole set-up just summarises the story so well  
          
          Do check it out!

Hi! I was just reading sleepless in New York, and I was just wondering if it was still something that you're working on. I've read almost all of your other works, and I'm very much enjoying it all!

KaraHalloway

Hi! Thank you so much for reading my stuff!  Glad you’re enjoying it! Thanks all so for the follow!
            
            I am working on both Sleepless and Intentions - I alternate between them depending on which one I feel inspired for, and at the moment that’s Intentions. I have a few chapters a want to finish for Intentions, and then I’m hoping to get back to Sleepless (especially since there are only a few chapters left, given that it’s a short story).
