If you’re new, welcome! So glad to have ya. I’m Finley, and I write contemporary romance with heart, heat, and healing. You’re welcome to unsubscribe at any time if you decide I’m just not the author for you, and there’ll be absolutely no hard feelings.

I know, I know, I just sent a newsletter like, not even two weeks ago, but I have a question for y’all that I need answered. First, though, some backstory.

“Scars & Souvenirs” was my debut, and for that, I’m beyond protective of it. I’m beyond PROUD of it. It took me almost 18 months to write, and it broke my heart every step of the way. I had to dive deep into some darkness in my mind to be able to write Max’s story. You may disagree, but I think it’s my best book—if not most emotionally scarring. I wrote its sequel, “Dreams Reborn”, in… 3 months, I believe it was. I loved Clay so much, I wanted him to have a story of his own.

As much as I love love LOVE these stories, it should be no surprise that I’m considering making special editions of “Scars & Souvenirs” and “Dreams Reborn”. These will come with alternate covers unavailable anywhere else and sprayed edges, an e-copy with the alternate cover, and maybe even some character art!

This is all still in the planning stages and dependent upon interest. So...

Are you interested? You can reply to this email to let me know, or comment/vote on my Instagram, Facebook, and Threads!

If you’re new, welcome! So glad to have ya. I’m Finley, and I write contemporary romance with heart, heat, and healing. Welcome to the (middle of the) month of L-O-V-E!! It’s hard to believe January has already come and gone, but alas, here we are. Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day, Palentine’s Day , or nothing at all, I hope you have lots of love in your life. Everyone deserves it. Things have been… weird for me lately. Writing took a small backseat, which hasn’t been...

If you’re new, welcome! So glad to have ya. I’m Finley, and I write contemporary romance with heart, heat, and healing. Haaaappppyyyy (belated) New Year! I truly hope it’s been a wonderful start to the year. And I hope 2026 brings you nothing but joy, peace, and good things. So far, mine has been great—minus a big of a snafu with my laptop at the end of December/a few days into January. Note: Do not put an uncapped bottle of soda anywhere near a laptop. It tends to get… sticky. Thankfully, my...

If you’re new, welcome! So glad to have ya. I’m Finley, and I write contemporary romance with heart, heat, and healing. Welcome. Hello to the last month of the year. It’s been a wild ride, hasn’t it? I don’t know what it’s been like for you, but I’ve had plenty of ups and downs over the last twelve months. Between a release (The Road Back Home), a potential to be in an anthology (which promptly got postponed), and plenty of back-and-forth between writing and not… I’m surprised I’ve lasted...
