| Hello Readers! Yesterday, Trial by Earth walked out into the world. Next week, Wisteria Creed does the same. I am thrilled. I am exhausted. I am already writing the next thing. This is fine. Everything is fine. The writing cave is absolutely on fire — metaphorically, thankfully, given that I write paranormal romance and an actual fire would be on brand in a way I’d prefer to avoid. Let’s talk about all of it. Trial by Earth — OUT NOW It’s here. Book three of the Richmond Academy series is officially in the world, and I could not be more excited for you to read it. Shayla’s earth powers. Georgios’s Minotaur heritage stepping fully into the light. Darker twists. Higher stakes. The pivot point of a five-book arc that has been one of the wildest, most rewarding things I’ve ever written.If you’ve been waiting — wait no longer. Grab Trial by Earth now And if you’re joining us — here’s the full series so far: Trial by Fire — Book one. Available now and on Kindle Unlimited. Trial by Sea — Book two.

December 2026. Five books. One year. Three down, two to go. Next Week — Not Your Maniac Pixie Dream Girl One week. Seven days. I am not calm. Wisteria Creed — half-Pixie, half-Sidhe Fae, graveyard-shift radio host, firm policy against being anyone’s idea of harmless — is almost ready to meet you properly. Book one of the Not As Written series lands next week, and I have been looking forward to this one for a long time. Slow-burn romance. Found family. A protagonist who refuses at every turn to be what the story expected her to be. A Wendigo situation that turns out to be considerably more complicated than advertised. If you haven’t pre-ordered yet — now is the time. Pre-order Not Your Maniac Pixie Dream Girl And already in progress — Not Your Book Boyfriend, book two of the Not As Written series, coming November 2026. Wisteria finally has the life she fought for. New Avalon is about to send someone perfect to watch over her. Perfect is not what it looks like. More on that soon. Let Me Tell You What Two Simultaneous Series Actually Looks Like People sometimes ask how I manage it. Two series. Multiple release dates. Editing one book while drafting another while a third is literally releasing this week. Here is an honest answer: it looks like a lot of open tabs, a very strong coffee habit, and a writing cave that has started to feel less like a room and more like a permanent state of being. Trial by Air is deep in editing right now — book four, out at the end of October — while I am simultaneously in the trenches of Trial by Spirit, the final book of the Richmond Academy series, targeting December. Meanwhile, Wisteria releases next week, and Not Your Book Boyfriend is due in November.It is a lot. It is genuinely, objectively a lot. And I love every chaotic, deadline-stacked, manuscript-juggling minute of it. Something about having this many stories alive at once makes the writing cave feel electric. Every project feeds the others in ways I didn’t expect. Writing Wisteria’s found family in San Diego makes me think differently about Shayla’s found family at Richmond Academy. Drafting Trial by Spirit’s ending makes me more intentional about how I’m building the Not As Written arc. Busy is good. This busy — the creative, deadline-driven, living inside-multiple-worlds kind — is the best kind there is.

Pre-order Once Upon A Fairytale for $0.99 Grab Seasons of Magic: Summer From the Writing Cave — Home Improvement Edition The shoulder is working well enough now that I have rediscovered an entirely new category of things that need doing around the house. This week: a toilet. Next up: a bookshelf that needs a backing, probably this weekend. Normal household things. Mostly normal. The kind of things that pile up quietly while your arm is out of commission for several months and you’ve been pretending not to notice them. The desert is still warm but there is a distinct feeling in the air that fall is negotiating its arrival. I am welcoming it. I have left the porch light on. Fall, whenever you are ready, the door is open. Thank you for being here through the busiest summer of my writing life. It has been quite a ride. The best kind.Happy Reading, Wendy P.S. Trial by Spirit — the final book of the Richmond Academy series — is being written right now. I am in the trenches of Shayla’s ending. Five books, one year, one story that has meant more to me than I knew it would when I started. December is coming. I’m not ready and I’m writing it anyway.  |
| A Small Town Romance I hope you enjoy this small-town sweet romance. When you’re finished, please leave a review. Reviews help other readers find the book.Nate Wilder comes home to Cedar Hollow ahead of schedule — his tour officially over, his war anything but. Widowed and quietly unraveling, he carries a truth no one in town can see: that grief and guilt made him question his own readiness, and he walked away before hesitation could put someone else in the ground. No one knows. And he’d like to keep it that way. When his sister — my best friend, Rachel — pulls me into the swirl of casseroles, pointed questions, and small-town speculation, I do what I’ve always done: I make lists. I manage chaos. I keep storms from taking people under. But the storm that is Nate Wilder is harder to organize than I expected. His late wife’s family is circling. The gossip is sharpening. And when the whispers about his loyalty, his stability, and what moving on is supposed to look like threaten to swallow him whole, Nate makes a proposition I never saw coming: a fake engagement — clean, practical, temporary — to quiet the rumors and prove he’s planting roots. What starts as a contract quickly becomes the safest place either of us has had in years. As we plan a fundraiser that could rescue my struggling business and honor the past without being buried by it, the lines we drew begin to blur. And somewhere between the lie we’re telling Cedar Hollow and the truth we’re afraid to say out loud, I stop being able to tell where the arrangement ends —and where real love begins.GET YOUR BOOK HERE  Get your FREE copy of Darkness of My Soul PreviewWin the War.
