Sometimes, life just gets in the way. Where Once Was Light is a little delayed unfortunately but will still be coming out this summer...watch this space!

Where Once Was Light is now moving to the final stage of edits and tweaks - still on track so watch this space!

Halfway through the last major rewrite of Where Once Was Light now - the fourth book in The Written Pictures Series. Should be done by the end of this month. Good grief, it's steamy!

It'll take around a month from there to edit, tweak and beat it into final shape for publishing so we are looking around 1st July.

With Needing Normal making its way out in the big wide book world, my next book baby is finally going to be Where Once Was Light.

I finished the first draft around four years ago and had intended to release it last summer. Another couple of books bubbled though with Is This Me and Needing Normal jumping the queue. I'm back on it now though and aiming to release it this summer!

Needing Normal by H.A. Kotys

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A real leap into the mainstream for me, Needing Normal is a thriller/romance crossover for the modern woman. Of course, it has to include a sizzling scene or two to set the pulse racing. A joy to write but took longer than initially expected. Really pleased with it though and hope everyone similarly enjoys it!

Finished the edits and now a last read through and it's ready, will be out the 2nd week of April...so exciting!!

Getting close now, here's the blurb




Can one night change your life?

My life was small and insignificant and I was okay with that. I like normal, it’s my safety net against pain and confusion. I'd had enough of both.

One night and one man barreling into my life changed that, snatching away choice, pummeling normal until it cowered and fled. Another man stirred a desire I feared dormant. Or dead.

The two men were linked and I was torn between temptation and the fear of that temptation killing me.

One night did change my life.

Needing Normal

There's something coming....a new book, new genre, almost ready and totally thrilling.

Watch this space for sneak peeks!

The blurb is now all done for Is This Me and the book will be fully published in the next 24 hours - exciting stuff!

Just putting the final polish now on Is This Me. Getting really excited now and I expect to have it on pre-release next weekend for full release May 1st.

Watch this space, there will be a different sample advert each week!
