Hi everyone. Happy 2025. If you're in SoCal I hope you're safe. We're okay for now and my heart goes out to everyone who's affected.

Have you read the Wedding Epilogue yet from Finding the Forward, Part Two? Grab it here for free. Though it won't make any sense if you haven't read part one and part two. They're on KU.

I have so much planned both for the HockeyVerse and beyond for 2025. Up next for the HockeyVerse is Loving Ladybug, Part One which releases April 3, 2025 and Loving Ladybug, Part Two, which releases May 1, 2025. Pre-order them now for $2.99, price goes up April 1. Both books are finished and will be going to the editor soon. Keep an eye out for ARC signups.

You don't have to have read Finding the Forward to enjoy this duet. But if you have, you'll see some familiar faces (like Lucky, okay, Verity and company are there as well.) We also met Gwen (Ladybug). Gwen is a beta and a goalie for her university team. She's also an EBUG (emergency backup goalie) for the New York Knights. From the moment I discovered what EBUGs are, I knew I wanted to have one as a main character. This duet is ultimately m/m/f when her boyfriends become boyfriends. I can't wait for you to meet the two alpha hockey players who fall for her in this omegaverse why choose friends to lovers hockey romance. If you want to see him fall first, him wear her jersey, a ton of cute dates, and have a thing for nerdy guys with glasses with piercings down there, you might want to check this one out.

But that's not all I have planned for 2025. While yes, Mercy will get her own story eventually, she won't for awhile. However, Verity's big sister Grace, will have her story told in 2025. I actually started writing this trilogy first, wrote two books, then got distracted by Verity's story, then got distracted by Ladybug's. I'd planned on finishing Grace's story in 2024 and releasing it, but decided to release Verity and Ladybug's first.

Grace's story is wild. It's a portal story which means she falls from one world into another. Yes, she's Verity's 'rich big sister.' I told you, it's wild. This is a fated mates story where Grace dreams of her soulmate from across the universe. We will meet Verity and the Thornes in Dream Mates. Dream Girl and Dream Mates are drafted and I'll be working on Dream Pack, soon. I hope to start releasing them in 2025.

Don't worry, I will release more HockeyVerse books. Besides Mercy, who do you want to see stories about? Carlos? Dimitri? I know a few of you have mentioned wanting some Skate Smash romances starting with Rusty and her pack. Also, I'd love to write some bonus content about Verity and her guys for you. Want to you want to see? Scenes with the pack all together? Something I mentioned but didn't write about, like them exchanging presents or AJ going shoe shopping? Do you want the original opening chapter of Finding the Forward? Please reply to this email and let me know what you'd be interested in seeing because I can't figure out how to make a poll. You could also join my reader group and let me know there.

How to lose four alphas and maybe fall in love…

My life is a carefully constructed lie, and I like it that way. As an omega on the run, I've perfected the art of losing alphas in ten minutes or less. Worshiped like a goddess? Sure, but I can’t afford that luxury. Not now, not ever.

Why? Let’s just say my past isn’t just painful—it's deadly.

What was supposed to be a quick stop became something much more. Malachi, Quinn, Dash, and Zane weren't just offering sanctuary—they refused to let me slip away. They saw through my sarcasm and secrets, and despite myself, I saw in them the strength, loyalty, and family I’d always craved. I've lost everything before—including my pride—but love? Maybe it's the one risk worth taking.

Welcome to my chaotic, beautifully broken world. These alphas have no idea what they're in for. HUNTED OMEGA is out now and on KU.

I'm eight years into my professional hockey career when I come face to face with my one-night stand from my rookie season. Her auburn hair and full body makes me crave a second helping. Hell, maybe even a five course meal. But right now, I have a daughter that was dropped off at my door. She won't speak to me and I have no idea how to raise a child, much less a girl.

So, as much as I want to tell the ruby haired vixen that I remember who she is and that night is never far from my mind, I can't. When I ask the ruby haired vixen to be my daughter’s nanny, will I be able to resist the temptation in front of me? Holding back has never been my forte. When I want something–I want it all. And all I want is her.

This is a complete standalone in the multi-author series Hockey USA.

HAT TRICK HOLIDATE is out and on KU.

My name is Juliet, and I’m the only Omega ballet dancer.

I’m abandoned by my abusive pack in a ballet company ruled by Betas. But my gorgeous Beta best friend and dance partner forms a found family with me. The last Alpha I expect to claim us, however, is the company’s scarred, billionaire CEO with spellbinding amber eyes. The man who I’ve secretly loved for years.

My scent match. My enemy.

The Romeo pack is alluring with a beautiful, traumatized male Omega, who builds his nest out of books. The second Alpha is a baker but he looks like a rock god. They treasure and worship me. With my heat fast approaching, they swear that I’ll be safe in their arms.

But my heart shatters, when I discover their secret. Have they only been fake dating me? In this dance of love, what happens when the music stops?

Juliet. Her Romeos. A pack bond that changes everything. JULIET & HER ROMEOS is out now and on KU.

I hope everyone is having a good 2025. This year I hope to read more books. I love books and read them all the time, but as my deadlines for Finding the Forward loomed I found myself reading less and less. I'd also like to bake more, that too, went by the wayside in late 2024. Maybe I should try some of Verity's recipes.

Here's a teaser from Ladybug.

Have a great weekend everyone. Take care.

XOXO Jane
