As most of you know, I’m not just an editor. I write books, too. I have three pen names on the go: Brey Willows, Ally McGuire, and JJ Taylor. All three are pretty different markets, and I enjoy writing in all of them. At the moment, I’ve written 16 books, and I’m working on book 17 now. (Wow. Writing that feels…well. Wow.)
Along the way there are goalposts, of course. That’s something I always suggest writers pay attention to. What do you want next? Enjoy doing the thing, then do the next thing.
My next thing was audiobooks. I listen to a ton of them, (especially since my neurological issues fizzed along my brain synapses like Coke from the old days) and I know how important I find them.
And so…I now have 3 audiobooks out, with a fourth in production. GOAL! I’m really proud of them, too. (Particularly Fragments of the Heart, which is my favourite child in the Ally McGuire catalogue.)
If you’re a book listener, I hope you’ll check them out. Now to set my next goal…

A stunt car driver, an MI5 agent, a gigolo…Finn Montoya tells everyone she meets she has a different profession. It’s all part of keeping people at a distance while still being a part of the world around her. Really, she’s an accomplished writer who has taken being a mystery to heart. At least that way, she can stay safe. Under no circumstances can her past catch up with her.
Angie Davis just wanted some simple time with her daughter. But when the paparazzi swarm the café she and Luna are at, she has no choice but to accept the help of a handsome stranger who is watching the chaos play out. When Luna develops a friendship with that stranger, Angie’s unsure how to handle it. But the more time Angie spends with her, the more she wants to be in Finn’s arms.
Against her better judgement, Finn allows herself to be drawn to the promise of something real with Angie, but when the celebrity spotlight threatens to derail her safe existence and expose her secrets, it isn’t only their hearts in danger. Is love worth the risk?
