Once & Nevermore is LIVE! 🏰


Once & Nevermore: A Camelot Anthology is out TODAY in ebook and paperback. Big thanks to everyone who preordered!

Dear Reader,

Squee! Once & Nevermore: A Camelot Anthology is officially out in the world!

And just maybe, I stayed up too late last night falling in love all over again with Connor and Keira, the stars of my contribution, The One That I Ask.

I'm keeping this release-day newsletter super short so you can get a quick taste of what I'm talking about—and so I can get back to scarfing down all the other great Camelot-inspired stories in this collection.

You'll see me again for our regular monthly date on October 23. ❤️

Top Ten Reasons You'll Want The One That I Ask

See what I did there? Connor and Keira—first introduced in The One That I Want—get a bonus story in The One That I Ask.

Set a year after the events of The One That I Want, The One That I Ask is like the warm chocolate chip cookie served after a delicious dinner. You didn't know you needed it, but now you can't imagine saying no.

Without further ado, let me share the top ten reasons why you want this tasty story at the top of your TBR stack:

10. 🏰 Destination romance. Pack your bags. We're off to Cornwall, land of rugged coastlines, ancient legends, and castles galore.
9. 🧭 Side quests and shenanigans. Because no romantic getaway is complete without a few unexpected adventures.
8. 🍰 Snacks. Cornish pasties, cake on a stake, and a tasting flight of local delicacies. Warning: Do not read while hungry.
7. 💬 Banter for days. Connor and Keira have never met a perfectly good opportunity for a wisecrack they couldn't exploit.
6. ⚔️ A modern take on an Arthurian legend. What do women most desire? King Arthur couldn't figure it out. Can Connor?
5. 🔥 Steamy steam. These two have chemistry to spare—and no intention of letting it go to waste.
4. ❤️ High emotion, low angst. This isn't a story about if they'll get their happily ever after. It's about how they'll get there.
3. ✨ Stargazing on the beach. A blanket, a sky full of stars, and two people with all the time in the world.
2. 🙌 She says yes. He does, too. Because why should only one person get to pop the question?
1. 💍 OMG, that ring! A little sparkle, a lot of color, and a whole lot of love.

Your next happily ever after awaits!

🐪 On a side note: our resident mascot, Camuel, is pouting in the corner because Connor and Keira didn't see fit to take him to Cornwall.

There's a glint in his eye that tells me he's planning something for our next newsletter.

Should be epic. We shall see.

In the meantime, happy reading!

Ciao for now,

Keely

My heroine is on a date with a perfectly nice man who talks about cat probiotics. Naturally, she can’t stop thinking about the hot stranger she met in a restroom. Hiya, Reader! Welcome to August, a month when apparently my fictional characters are making questionable romantic choices while I juggle contractors, unpack boxes, and mull over the merits of giving my condo an exorcism. In other words, there’s a lot going on around here. Let’s start with Romy… Romy, Girlfriend, We Need to Talk Meet...

Hiya Reader, Sometimes life hands you a story gift. Out of the blue. Right there in public. What’s a gal to do but turn around and tell you all about it? I mean, once I stopped laughing... My Car Has Better Game Than I Do 🚙 Here’s the deal. A few weeks ago, I was waiting to turn into the gas station when I noticed a guy staring in my direction. Now, I drive a Very Cute Car, so I’m accustomed to people admiring it. But something about that look told me this gentleman had Something to Say. Sure...
