April Blog: High Stakes, High Puzzles, and Even Higher Heat

Is it just me, or did March last approximately three years?
I’ve been vibrating at a frequency somewhere between “Productive Goddess” and “Send Help.” Between the chaos of my writing desk and trying to remember what the sun looks like, I’ve been deep in the trenches. If you’ve been following my recent Shorts, you’ve seen the puzzle-and-tea-fueled madness that is my current reality. Apparently, my “retirement” from the corporate world just means I’ve traded spreadsheets for 1,000-piece jigsaws and fictional scandals.
But let’s get back to the real reason we’re here: the drama.
Shadows is Breaking Free
The wait is over—Shadows is officially out in the wild! It’s currently steaming up Amazon, but for those of you who aren't team Kindle, hang tight. This month, I’m taking it "wide." Very soon, you’ll be able to find all that suspense and margarita-soaked bad decisions on Apple, Kobo, and D2D. Stay tuned for those links—they’re coming fast.
Sunday Mornings Just Got Spicier
I’ve decided to make our Sundays a little more interesting. Every Sunday on my YouTube channel, I’m doing a deep-dive reading of Book 1, Emerson Grove Beginnings. It’s the perfect way to ease into the week... mostly.
And because I can’t seem to keep my opinions to myself, keep an eye out for my new segment: Off the Page with Kalen. This is where I tackle the absolute absurdities of daily life—from bizarre dating questions to the weird logic of the world. If you need a laugh or just want to see me rant while clutching a coffee, check those out!
What’s Next? (The "Forbidden" Tease)
I’ve officially cracked open the draft for Book 3! Writing is in full swing, and let's just say the math in Emerson Grove is getting complicated. I’m leaning into a forbidden romance vibe, but here’s a tiny teaser: sometimes, two just isn't enough to handle this much heat. My favourite "compound" lately actually involves three elements. Any guesses on what that means for our next scandal? 😉
Join the Inner Circle (Freebie Alert!)
I believe in rewarding the readers who are actually on this journey with me. To celebrate the progress on Book 3, I will be offering Book 1, Emerson Grove Beginnings, for FREE for a limited time on my BookFunnel page starting May 1st. It’s the best way to get the story into your hands before the "scandalous math" of Book 3 drops this summer.
Let’s Chat in the Comments:
The "Reader" Check: Are you a "stay inside with a spicy book" person or a "let's finally get outside" person the second the snow melts?
Book 3 Teaser: Forbidden romance or second-chance trope? (Or both?) Tell me what you're craving!
Stay sassy,
Kalen
