Welcome To My Corner of the Internet

Hi loves,

Welcome to my little bookish corner of the internet. I’m so happy you’re here.

This is my first proper newsletter, so it feels only right to introduce myself, what I write, and what I’m currently working on before I start flinging cowboy angst, romantic tension, and emotionally irresponsible men into your life on a regular basis.

I’m Jules, a contemporary romance author who writes messy, emotional love stories about people who feel real. My books are full of sharp banter, slow-burn tension, found family chaos, complicated feelings, and characters who are usually trying very hard not to fall in love, which obviously means they are completely doomed.

Outside of writing, I’m also a healthcare girlie. I studied biomedical science and work for the NHS, so a lot of my life has been shaped by people, pressure, care, resilience, and the very human messiness of trying to hold everything together. I think that naturally finds its way into my stories. I’m drawn to characters who are stubborn, wounded, funny, soft in unexpected places, and trying their best even when they have absolutely no clue what they’re doing.

But before any of that, I was just a thirteen-year-old girl writing fanfiction on Wattpad, deeply convinced that Draco Malfoy needed more emotional development. Honestly? That was the beginning. Fanfiction taught me how much I loved creating tension, building characters, writing longing, shaping dialogue, and making fictional people suffer beautifully before giving them their happy ending.

And now, somehow, that little Wattpad dream has grown into this.

At the moment, I’m working on my contemporary cowboy romance, Where the Wind Settles.

This book is a second-chance romance set in the small town of Rosewick, following Layla Callahan and Ryder Wheeler: two people with a lot of history, a lot of unresolved feelings, and absolutely no ability to behave normally around each other.

Layla is back in the town she once left behind, trying to prove to herself that she is not the same girl who ran. Ryder is the broody, stubborn cowboy who never really got over her, even if he would rather be dragged through a cattle drive than admit it out loud. Their story is full of old wounds, sharp banter, cowboy dust, family ties, forced proximity, and that very specific kind of chemistry that feels less like attraction and more like a weather warning.

It’s about coming home and realizing the past is not as buried as you thought. It’s about the ache of being known by someone who remembers every version of you. It’s about love that didn’t end cleanly, grief that sits quietly in the ribs, and two people trying to figure out whether the thing between them is something they should finally let go of or fight for properly this time.

Where the Wind Settles is also planned as the first book in a series of interconnected standalones. Each book will follow a different couple, but they will all exist in the same world, with familiar faces, shared friendships, family chaos, small-town drama, and little emotional threads weaving through the series. So while each romance will have its own complete story and happily-ever-after, the world itself will keep growing.

Basically: messy love, found family, recurring characters, cowboy men with emotional constipation, women who call them out on it, and enough tension to make everyone deeply unwell. As they deserve.

Originally, I was hoping to publish Where the Wind Settles on June 1st, but life has very much been life-ing. Between work, personal things, editing, and wanting this story to be the best version of itself, I’ve decided it will most likely be pushed back.

It’s not a decision I’ve made lightly, because I am so excited to share Ryder and Layla with you. But I would rather give the book the time and care it deserves than rush it out before it feels truly ready. These characters mean so much to me, and I want their story to land the way it should: emotional, polished, romantic, and full of heart.

So for now, I’ll be sharing updates, snippets, behind-the-scenes chaos, character aesthetics, playlists, little writing rambles, and all the fun pieces that come with building this world.

Thank you so much for being here at the beginning. Whether you found me through BookTok, Instagram, a snippet, a caption, or sheer algorithmic sorcery, I’m so grateful you’ve chosen to follow along.

There’s a lot coming.

Welcome to Rosewick.

Love, Jules x
