🎉 Proud Mary COVER REVEAL! 🎉

Proud Mary COVER REVEAL! 🎉 My lovely newsies! This is my second-favorite newsletter to send (next to the one I'll send on pub day before immediately happy-dancing into the sunset), because it's the MOTHERFUCKING COVER REVEAL, Y'ALL! Footage of me right now: [little girl excited with cotton candy GIF] Cover reveal day gets me SO PUMPED. It makes the book feel real, it makes readers scream at me (lovingly), and it's just plain EASY ON THE EYES. After using a temporary cover (a few versions) for...

ARC SIGN-UPS ARE OPEN! 🎉 My lovely babes! Today's the DAY! You've read the blurb, you've seen the tropes, and now you can SIGN UP FOR AN ARC! 🏃♀️ [ARC readers wanted for Proud Mary by Hannah Brixton - trope graphic] Apply for an ARC! Proud Mary is unique in my series in that it overlaps in timeline with Sweet Caroline (well, it has a more substantial overlap than the tiny one between Hey Jude/Jesse's Girl, anyway). In fact, it picks up in the middle of Miles' struggle with depression (and...

IT'S BLURB/TROPES DAY! [Proud Mary Blurb & Trope Reveal graphic] Hellooooo lovelies!!! It's the long-awaited moment where I can finally share the details of what Proud Mary IS ABOUT, and Y'ALL! I'm pumped! I'm so bad at secrets, but this whole marketing requires a sense of mystique sometimes... (Don't they know I'm not built for mystique!?) I've spent the last few days getting the book into shape for beta readers, and I finally got them the full draft YESTERDAY! It's a very behind-the-scenes...

On taking a fucking shower & 30k Quinn listens! 🥳 Hellooo lovely humans, What's it like writing sexy romance novels? MUST BE SEXY, you say. WELL, DEAR READER, YOU ARE WRONG. Look, I'm not proud of this. I can clean up alright. I can be all fancy and put together, but is that my norm? Hellllll no. I have described myself at various points during the writing process as a disgusting troll, a gross gremlin, a lumpy potato, and a greasy goblin. Basically, I am bringing it. [Dylan Moran in Black...

First draft CHECK! ✅ Beautiful humans, I have great news. And it's this: Thanks to a week away from social media so I could fucking focus, the first draft of Proud Mary is under my belt! Which means now it's revision time. Hooray! Here's how I feel about that: [kid laughs until he cries GIF image] I'm mostly joking. Mostly. 😅 I actually love revising and line editing... until I discover a plot hole or a timing issue, and then I inevitably hate myself. Then I send lengthy, panicked rants via...

Book 4 TITLE REVEAL! 🎉 Heyyyyyy folks! Shit is getting REAL over here. This draft is looking rather thiccccc lately, and I realized it was high time I shared a bit more with y'all since I'm approaching the home stretch. "The end" is in sight, so to speak. I've hit the 83k+ word mark and still going strong. And by "strong" I mean low-key losing my mind and being high-key obsessed with this story, these characters, Gus' mustache, YOU GET IT. It's just the way of things at this stage. So......

Another book 4 teaser... Hello my babies, I am IN IT with book four and let me tell you, I am fucking CRUSHING IT. 💪💪💪 How did that sound? Confident? Self-assured? Well, it was ALL LIES! 😅 Just kidding! (Kinda.) While I did have an epic last few days of getting words on the page (I wrote over 12k in 4 days which is a LOT for me!), I still don't have everything figured out. And guess what I hate? That. The uncertainty is the literal worst. Like, excuse me? Life? I ordered a perfectly executed...

RITCR! I'm in love! My lovely Lovelies, I'm freshly home from a whirlwind trip to Banff, Alberta for Romance Invades the Canadian Rockies 2026! It was such an incredible experience, and I can't say enough gushy good things about how the two rock stars running Slow Burn Books (sisters Shannon and Nicola) planned and executed this event. It was seamless and fabulous. Do you know how much work goes into running an event that size with no hiccups!? THEY FUCKING SMASHED IT. [Photos from RITCR...

F*ck Me Sideways! It's a cover reveal? My beautiful Lennox Lovelies, You may remember that I was involved in a charity anthology that came out back in November (two days after Sweet Caroline because I plan my life real good-like 🥴). Well, as of tomorrow, Mistletoe Moments will have spent its six months out in the world and will no longer be available through retailers. We've raised a good chunk of money for Food Banks Canada and I couldn't be prouder of our little (well, not so little) group...

Miles & Caroline character art!!! My gorgeous Lennox Lovelies, What do parenting and authoring have in common? It's the LIES. Stick with me here. 😆 When I had babies and then very young kids, I was always told it would get easier. At the next milestone, the next age, when this growth spurt ended or that tooth finally came in. Heck, even when the weather changed. "It gets easier," more seasoned parents would tell me. Aaaand it was horseshit. Look, it's true that the relentless, soul-crushing...
