Join us in Emerson Grove! June has been a month of building. In Emerson Grove, the TRG team is finally taking steps toward something they’ve worked years to achieve—a permanent headquarters. New faces are arriving, relationships are evolving, old wounds are being tested, and, as always, a little chaos isn’t far behind. Outside of Emerson Grove, I’ve been building too. One of the things I didn’t fully understand when I published my first book was that writing “The End” isn’t r

Is Spring actually here? Well, Mother Nature clearly skipped the spring memo and threw us straight into the deep end of summer. In less than a week, we went from "too freezing to sit outside" to a scorching 30-degree heatwave. I finally finished my 1,000-piece winter puzzle and officially cleared my schedule to write on the deck, only to step outside and realize I might melt. What a dilemma! Do I risk a sunburn for the birds, or retreat back to the AC? Speaking of heat, my ki

If you’ve been following my recent Shorts, you’ve seen the puzzle-and-tea-fueled madness that is my current reality. Apparently, my “ret

Grab a warm bevy and join me. March in Canada is what I like to call The Great Thaw. Technically, it’s spring. The calendar insists on it. But outside? The snowbanks are still holding strong, the air has that lingering winter bite, and every once in a while the temperature climbs just enough to give us hope… before dropping again like winter remembered it left the stove on. It’s messy. Snow melts. Ice cracks. Sidewalks turn into questionable puddles you absolutely should not

Where caffeine meets characters! Let’s address the fantasy right away. If you think being a romance author means spending Valentine’s Day wrapped in silk pyjamas, slow kisses in candlelight, and a dangerously attractive man leaning in a doorway saying things that would absolutely get him HR-reported in real life… It’s a nice fantasy. In reality? I’m in oversized sweatpants, sitting cross-legged in the corner of my sectional, blankie covering my bare feet — knee-deep in edits,

Grab a cup and join me for a short Coffee with Kalen vlog about chasing creativity! Wow! 2026 - What the hell! If you’re feeling that "time-warp" sensation, you aren’t alone. I’ve always loved entering a new year by taking stock of the old, so let’s look at how I went from a career-focused non-reader to a small-town suspense author in the blink of an eye. 2025: The Year I Found My "Why" Last year was a whirlwind for Kalen Kory. I didn’t just write a book— I wrote two and a
