New York Times Bestselling author, R.L. Mathewson was born in Massachusetts. She’s known for her humor, quick wit and ability to write relatable characters. She currently has several paranormal and contemporary romance series published including the Neighbor from Hell series.

Growing up, R.L. Mathewson was a painfully shy bookworm. After high school she attended college, worked as a bellhop, fast food cook, and a museum worker until she decided to take an EMT course. Working as an EMT helped her get over her shyness as well as left her with some fond memories and some rather disturbing ones that from time to time show up in one of her books.

Today, R.L. Mathewson is the single mother of two children that keep her on her toes. She has a bit of a romance novel addiction as well as a major hot chocolate addiction and on a perfect day, she combines the two.

In 2019/2020, R.L. Mathewson will be publishing Devastated, the first Anger Management novel, Tall, Dark & Furious, the 6th installment to the Pyte/Sentinel series, Irresistible, the long anticipated novel for the Neighbor from Hell Series as well as many more books throughout the year, paranormals, contemporaries, and YAs.

All my favorites in one place. But for the love of God how do the Bradford's get banned from buffets, and kicked out of entire states? Fun to see that the craziness continues and I am more then nervous about the twins.

Loved it!! Since I read most of them on RL's blog I'm glad that I now have all of them in a book so I can go back to it again and again :)

Annoying

I skipped over most parts, basically when I read about food, so I probably skipped over most of it. Please think of something else to write about.

Great idea!!!

I don't know why more authors don't do this. It is genious!! Many readers always finish a book and wonder what will happen to the characters. I know I have always pondered on if the characters really get their happily-ever-after or if they end up single and divorced after a few years like the millions of real people out there in the world. This is a more than genious way to keep readers captivated as we wait for her next book.

LMFAO even when all the characters get together it's pure chaos not that I would expect anything anything else haha, “oh, because writing about Pytes, vampires and shifters that lick their own a**es are somehow better than ghosts?” Trevor asked, not even bothering to hide his snort of disbelief." Haley that girl kills me, “I just wanted to let you know that I was pregnant and to let you know that we needed to stop at a store on the way home tonight and pick up some milk,” Haley said brightly while the class stared at her in utter shock as he struggled to catch his breath." I really love when authors do updates on their characters to see how they're doing I loved this book and seeing what was going on and some behind the scenes things.

Of course I had read all the chronicles as they were released, but it is nice to have them all together in one spot

Makes me realize who we did and didn`t see - NFH snippets work really well in the chronicles but the Pyte/Sentinel not so much. That is okay though, there is lot of story with our paranormal friends and they work best in full books

I love NFH, but also the EMT series, Eric and Joe are perfect, and poor Nathan doesn't stand a chance. With only one couple, it is hard to give updates, hence the lack of other characters.

Nice to have the updates, love the stories, and the characters, and can't wait for more - every week I patiently wait for the update and then pounce!

The insights into the characters is like a fun retelling of friends or family told at a party or gathering. However, if you have not read all the books it is very difficult to figure out the characters, the series, or the book they appear in. This sort of defeats the purpose of trying to 'expand the brand'. If this book had a 'Cast of Characters' or some other sort of a reference guide, it would be much improved. Even some of the books I'd read (many moons ago), I had a difficult time remembering the characters, their situation, and their personalities.

If you just can't get enough, I would highly suggest this book. If you want to simply dip your feet into RL's world, I would not.

All the 2014 chronicles from R.L.'s website in one easy to read package - what's not to love? The chronicles themselves are a fabulous idea of the author, especially for us book lovers that wonder what happens to our book friends after 'the end'. We revisit all our favourites in the 2014 edition, mainly those lovable Bradford cousins Trevor (sigh's lovingly) and Jason along with their incredibly awesome wives and scarily cunning children. An absolute must read for all Neighbor From Hell lovers.

4.5 Laughing Out Loud Stars...
Well, this was just amazing to have forever in my kindle. I love al RL series and having these glimpses into their lives is the best. This was my first book of the year and it was a great start and don't regret it at all. Will continue to read these chronicles and if you haven't read any of these series, please do so! You are missing on a journey everybody should be on.

(Dear R.L. ,
Please please please... Give us a nfh book with a Bradford girl as the heroine ... If you do write in a Bradford girl as a heroine , for the love of God don't write her as a 5 foot nothing woman . I would really love to see a BRADFORD woman. As in tall with a crazy appetite and insanely fun personality that we see with the Bradford men. Thank you , thank you , a million times thank you )

Really, really enjoyed this window into the daily lives of some of R.L. Mathewson's characters. OK, so I only read the sections dealing with the Neighbors from Hell characters. I've read the Sentinel/Pyte and Black Heart series, but honestly? Those just don't amuse the way the Bradfords do. My favorite will always be Trevor and I loved the glimpses into his life with Zoe and their devious children.

I have to be honest. When I first started reading this and all the characters from R.L.'s book where hanging out and waiting for her. I thought WTF kinda "Alice in Wonderland" shiz is this???
But it's a book of short stories and scenes that catch us up with all our favorite characters.

There is a scene with Jason Bradford and a telephone scam caller that had me literally in tears of laughter. Classic Jason and R.L. If you are a fan. This is a must read.

This is a collection of vignettes about characters from all the series that R. L. Mathewson writes. If you haven't read her books, this collection will make no sense at all.

Most of the vignettes are about the Neighbor from Hell series characters, but the EMS and Pyte/Sentinel characters also appear.

I enjoyed the chapters that had all the characters from all the books talking with each other. It was fun.

This was amazing! R.L. is the master is creating the funniest and sexiest characters ever! These short chronicles just gives us brief glimpses on what has happened or what has been going on with a few of our favorite characters, especially The Bradfords  and their weird food obsessions.

Be prepared to laugh out loud because Jason, Trevor and those twins Sebastian and Johnnie are going to have you in stitches!

This was a funny lite book to read. A collection of short snippets into the lives of R.L. Mathewson's beloved characters. Characters she has brought to life for her readers in her quirk, laugh out loud funny and sexy as all blankity blank" books. In some points she inserts herself into these scenes having conversations that only she could have with these lively characters! I love her Chronicles, they are so much fun to read while waiting for her next book!

You definitely can't read this book if you haven't read Neighbor From Hell series by Mathewson. Because seriously, this book contains short stories after the characters' own happy ever after. We'll see the crazy protective and overjealous Bradford, and of course, their infamous appetite. If you're a fan, you'll love this book.
