Hello, hello!
          
          It is a new year! Today brings you another chapter in the adventure of Emma Harper and Sam Caden. And also another peek into Nerissa. (Nerissa's story took a turn I wasn't expecting so it is taking me longer to finish her tale.)
          
          The beginning of February will bring you my secret 2025 project. (I was given a cover, title, and pen name, and given two months to write a story.) I love how Accidental Elopement turned out and I'm afraid it has turned into a possible series. Why do I love my characters so much? I don't need so many series to juggle!
          
          Anyway, I hope you are well. Happy reading!

Today, i'm delighted to share a sneak peak into what I'm working on this month. I'm not sure when it will be completed. (if you remember, the first book The Mystery of Miss Burke was a bit longer than my usual tales and this one might be the same!)
          
          So, please enjoy the opening prologue of: Waking Nerissa.

Is there another story that accompanies “The Mystery of Miss Burke”?

Today marks the first chapter in a little project I started earlier this year. It was an idea that just wouldn't leave me. I'm pleased to introduce to you, Dr. Emma Harper and Sam Caden. 
          
          I hope you enjoy their adventure!

I am pleased to share with everyone the first chapter of my first contemporary romance novel. This was another challenge book. I was given the cover (and title) and three months to write a story to go with it. So Tuesday's Love Troubles was born.
          
          Fun fact! The first chapter was partially inspired by real life. When I worked at a public library, I had several grandmas wanting to set me up with their "wonderful" grandsons.)
          
          Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading!

Hi .... I like your style of writing but I can't find the Regency Rumours 

@thequietwriter I am totally excited to know what happens next. Wattpad is confused too, like Julie :D

@thequietwriter Oh, ok !! I thought my app was goofing up  

I see the notification that chapter 13 of Behind the Stage is updated on 28th Feb 25, but I can't open it. Is it just me, or is anyone else facing the same problem???

I hope everyone is having a fantastic late winter or whatever season you are in. I just wanted to share some exciting news that does mean some change to some of the books I have on Wattpad. A publisher reached out to me last week and offered to republish The Sinclair Society series, Books 1-3. They’ll provide new covers and fresh editing. However, this will mean that Regency Rumors, The Debutante, and Clarendon Estate will be removed from Wattpad. Behind the Stage will remain for now, but will eventually join the rest of the series with the publisher.
          
          I took my time considering this offer and decided to accept it. I’ve been doing it all myself for a while now, so I’m excited to see what happens when there is a team to make it the best it can be. I hope you all understand why these three books will disappear by the end of this week!
          
          As always, happy reading!
