Welcome to the chaos - A note from Courtney
Fictional heartbreak, creative chaos, and behind-the-scenes ramblings. Welcome to the fire — this is where the magic begins.
Hey book lovers, chaos gremlins, and the friends and family strong armed into this.
If you have stumbled onto this page, then it is probably for one or two reasons:
one you were lured in by the promise of fictional heart break and morally questionable characters
or
You were curious to see the inner workings of my mind (Spoiler alert: it’s tabs within tabs, notes upon notes and about five unfinished drinks I forgot existed).
But in all honesty — Welcome.
This blog is a corner of my world where I finally get to slow down and share this journey between the pages. The messy bits. The late-night breakthroughs (why is it always at 3am?). The moments of absolute doubt and the ones filled with quite, joyful fire.
Why this blog?
Because for a long time, I didn’t know if I’d ever get here — to the part where stories I once kept hidden in notebooks and random word documents across multiple devices are now real. This blog is where I’ll share the behind-the scenes of what I’m working on — from sneak peaks of upcoming books, to merch launches, candle drops from our favourite collaboration with Scented Pages and chaotic life updates that never make it to my polished posts on social media.
As much as this is for me it is also for you, whether you’re a reader who just wants to live in a fantasy world a little longer, or a fellow writer trying to navigate your own storm of doubt, deadlines and too many characters talking at once in your head.
You’ll find:
* Updates from my current works in progress
* The stories behind the stories
* Advice for writers who are figuring it out as they go — like I still am but maybe you want make the same mistakes as me
* Musings on creativity, burnout and why this whole chaotic journey is still worth it
* And occasionally, wild 2am rambles that turn into plot ideas or emotional venting
Because in this little corner of the internet, we embrace the chaos — and we make it burn beautifully.
Whether you’ve followed me from the start or have just arrived with in the pages of a book that has been recommended, I’m so grateful you’re here. Truly. None of this happens without the beautiful, slightly unhinged community that surrounds indie authors like me.
So light your favourite candle, open a tab for your TBR list, and settle in. Let’s make some magic.
