The Typewriter Plot (a Guy Fawkes NaNoWriMo Parody)

For ages, None So Blind was my favorite book. I un For ages, None So Blind was my favorite book. I understood Ella in a deeper way than most of my characters. BUT... then I wrote Will Not See. And it became suspense rather than women's fiction with a mini-mystery (how did she lose her memories?). But people going after Vikki? Didn't see that coming. Nor did I see a guy waking up with no memories and a murdered wife (the spouse always does it, right?). Sooo... women's fiction to romantic suspense? Not normal, but let's face it. Whenever have I been normal?
Read em in Kindle, paperback, or "free" through Kindle Unlimited! Individually, or in a box set of the complete collection.

Yeah. It's a thing. Which is weird because I rarel Yeah. It's a thing. Which is weird because I rarely call a book by its title.  Past Forward is "Willow." Ready or Not (and the rest) are all "Aggie" (I add 1, 2, 3, 4 etc). None So Blind is "Ella."
The New Cheltenham books are all whatever word changes that year.  So I'll talk about "Stars" or "Ghosts" or "Bells." But if I don't have a title I could put on the cover of the book (even if it changes--rarely but it happens--) I can't even write the first sentence.  It's dericulous.  Um... Ridiculous. Same smell.
Grammar wise, I'd say it's my stupid habit of not bothering to add question marks at the ends of questions.  My poor editors.  I THINK it's because I get interrupted in the middle of the sentence, come back, and forget it was supposed to be a question.  Dont' quote (or question) me on that, though.
If you have a question you want me to answer, leave it in the comments OR... zip me an email at chautona@chautona.com.  I'll try to work them in (and will probably combine those that are really similar.

Reposted from @janelleleonard.author It's time for Reposted from @janelleleonard.author It's time for another WhiteCrown cover reveal!!! The Promise of a Princess, the third and final book in the Royals of Andelar series by Joy Crain, releases November 2026 and is available for preorder now. 
*
Princess Genevieve’s life seems like a dream. She has a loving family, a devoted fiancé, and a future set in stone. But beneath the perfection lies a secret she has guarded for years, one that could shatter everything if it were ever revealed. When an ancient doctrine resurfaces and threatens the very foundation of the monarchy, Genevieve is forced to face a choice that will cost her more than she ever imagined.

DePeaux men love for life. They only ever give their heart away once. Julian knows his father’s oft-quoted words to be true, because his heart belongs to a woman too. A woman who long ago stole his heart, captured beneath the oak tree as they painted and grew up together. But he can never have her. Because another man’s ring lies on her finger.

With time running out and the truth impossible to ignore, Genevieve and Julian are drawn together in ways that challenge everything they have ever believed. In a world bound by tradition and expectation, they must decide if love is worth the risk of losing their future, their duty, and each other.

Preorder your copy today!
