Hayden Wand spends much of her time writing in a room filled with bookshelves and unfinished craft projects. A lover of history, literature, and folklore, she lives with her family in South Carolina.

You can find her novella “The Wulver’s Rose” in Rooglewood Press’s FIVE ENCHANTED ROSES anthology, and she is also the author of two more fairy tale retellings: WITH BLOSSOMS GOLD, a Rapunzel retelling set during the Renaissance, and JANUARY SNOW, a retelling of Snow White set during the Roaring 20's.

It's not worn because it's so old, but rather because I loved it so much that I read it all the time. I related to the characters because they seemed to understand my own problems and I found that encouraging. If someone finds Hidden Pearls- or any of my books- encouraging in that way through life's physical and spiritual problems, then I think that's the highest thing I can aspire to.(less)

Thank you so much! There are many things I wish I knew when I first started my publishing journey, but one of the most important, I think, is to remember that the road to publishing is long, not short. It's important not to feel rushed into releasing something before it's ready, or because you feel like you have to operate on or compete with traditional publishing's timeline.

Thank you for your offer! Right now I'm not taking in anymore books for review (Quarantine has me swamped!), but I've added your novel to my to-read list for the future!(less)

An Honest Week’s Worth of Writing

A log from 7/27/26-8/01/26

Monday- Nothing. Slept poorly, had a headache.

Tuesday- Also slept poorly and so didn’t wake up early enough to write before work. However, got to leave work early thanks to some comp time and so managed to be productive (in a writing sense) that afternoon. I usually try to write in 30 minute blocks, and managed to get in a full hour!

Total written: 755 words (There was

Quotes by Hayden Wand  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Do you think God truly meant for us to keep Him locked in the church? Is He our Sunday pocket watch we only pull out for weddings and funerals and church services? He wishes for us to think about Him wherever we are. And a voice singing His praises at a ball is far less irreverent than a stone-cold heart sitting in a pew on Sunday morning.”
Hayden Wand, Hidden Pearls

“You’re dead,” Amyot said, bearing down upon Benedict.

Benedict flashed an exhausted grin. “I don’t think Death likes me,” he said breathlessly. “We keep running in to each other before deciding to go our separate ways.”
Hayden Wand, Once: Six Historically Inspired Fairytales

“She hated colds. There was nothing romantic about them. Fainting spells were dramatic, life-threatening illnesses were interesting, and a handsome prince could always rescue you in the case of a twisted ankle, but all colds produced were puffy eyes and a red nose.”
Hayden Wand, Hidden Pearls
