My Very Official and Totally Legit 2019 Plans

February 7, 2019 by Talia Leave a Comment

[Please note: this schedule has been edited since it was first published, because time is a literal joke and also because mysterious but exciting happenings have shifted my plans.]

Salutations, my scrumptious sweet potato!

Do you notice anything different about me? Hmm? Well? Yes, of course you do. I have a new website and it is glorious. Pink, sparkly, full of books, and it belongs to me. I couldn’t ask for more.

But what about you, and what you can ask for? Specifically, from me, in 2019? That is what we are gathered here to discuss. If you want to know my planned publishing schedule for the year, congrats. You found it!

This, I have decided, is my year of bougie behaviour, beginning with this extravagant site, and ending with a bang. But we’ll get to that bang later.

One thing I’m really excited about is my work being available in audiobook format. You can get A GIRL LIKE HER and UNTOUCHABLE exclusively on Audible right now.

THE PRINCESS TRAP and WANNA BET? will also be available soon, if you want all that scorching dirty talk directly in your earholes (you do).

But let’s return to the Ravenswood books for a sec. In April, I will be completely overhauling the entire series. The covers will be dramatically updated to make sure they look as stunning as possible on your bookshelf. So keep an eye out for that grand reveal. It’s gonna be good.

Then, in May, comes my first release of the year: THAT KIND OF GUY. It’s the final book in my Ravenswood series, and you can learn more about it by checking out the book page. But, long story short: older woman, younger man; fake relationship; cute dog. Need I say more? You can shelve it on Goodreads now.

That Kind of Guy by Talia Hibbert, surrounded by roses, coming soon

Some time in the summer, my first M/M romance drops. This as-yet-untitled spin-off stars Olumide Olusegun-Keynes, aka Keynes, aka Olu, who stole hearts in Undone by the Ex-Con. There will be grumps. There will be kisses. There will be sheep. If you haven’t yet, join my V.I.P. list to stay updated.

Now, remember I mentioned ending the year with a bang? That comes in November with the release of my traditionally published debut, GET A LIFE, CHLOE BROWN. It’s a romcom about a chronically ill, uptight grump and the charming, artsy handyman who hates her guts. Kind of. Sort of. For a little bit. Oh, you know she wins him over.

If you’re into forced proximity, class differences (she has family money, darling, and he… does not), bad first impressions, strong sisterly bonds, wayward cats, and buttons (don’t ask), you’ll want to add GET A LIFE, CHLOE BROWN to your Goodreads shelf. I could not be more excited about this book. Wait until you see the cover. Just. Wait.

It’s as pretty as this picture.

Oh – and, even though this is about 2019, here’s an early 2020 plan for you. Because I don’t play by the rules.

In 2020, I am releasing an M/F standalone called DEVILISH. It’s a pun. You’ll figure it out. When I mentioned the title to my V.I.P.s, lots of people guessed it might be PNR. You may be disappointed to hear that it is not. You may be excited to hear that I am planning on writing more PNR. (Eventually. I’m a busy woman. I have so many biscuits to eat.) But—back to DEVILISH. There will be angst, shattered childhood friendships, and The Princess Bride references. It’s gonna be edgy and epic.

So now we’ve discussed everything… except for this blog.

As I’ve already mentioned, I am a busy woman. While I’m only releasing three books this year, I am actually writing six, or possibly eight, or maybe nine. However, I do adore this website, and this blog in particular. So I will be using it. I make no promises about how often I’ll post, mind you. My brain is an easily bewildered gazelle, and if startled or pressured it will run for miles, and then where will I be? Exhausted, that’s where. I can’t go chasing gazelle brains. I have asthma, and my body’s connective tissues are of questionable quality.

But occasionally, hopefully, I will be cunning enough to catch the gazelle brain before it flees, and in those cases I will write and publish a blog post for your delectation. They will almost certainly be ridiculous. They will involve stories I like, stuff I like, and the occasional hot take. I can tell you’re excited for what’s to come. I don’t blame you. I am, as we all know, absolutely riveting.

Until next time, then, my mushy pea.

Love and biscuits,

Talia xx

The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen is out today and it is a serious banger. This book shot directly into my KJ Charles Top 3 (alongside Any Old Diamonds and An Unsuitable Heir, obviously). It has: 

- secret identities!

- hot Kentish smugglers!!

- so much delicious “he’s powerful and dangerous and on my side” energy!

- also “I’m just a daft sad boi with abandonment issues rambling around the countryside” energy!

- super saucy witness intimidation!!!

And more! 

KJ is one of my absolute favourite romance authors and this book encapsulates all the reasons why. Enjoy 😘

If you’re wondering what I put in my newsletters, the short answer is: chaos. The long answer: what I’ve written, what I’m reading (Casey McQuiston, amongst other things) and little anecdotes like this: 

My fiancé and I moved house this summer, and our new bedroom overlooks the garden. This was lovely when 'garden' meant 'nice rectangle full of flowers', but as winter descended and the flowers met a frosty end, I enjoyed it less.

Since I try to monitor my mental health, I made note of how this transformation changed my mood. Clearly, I realised, flowers cause Good Chemicals in my brain. Maybe I should put some flowers in my bedroom while there were none outside?

Um, no, Talia. That would be silly and extravagant and wasteful. There's no space in your small bedroom for that, and anyway, cut flowers don’t last, so there's no reason to have them in the first place.

Then I reminded myself that everything ends, and the 'experience' part that comes before is sort of... the whole point? 

So I tried something. 

I found a tiny vase, one that would take up no more space on my bedside table than a large mug. Next, I went to the local florist and asked for a single stem of little pink roses, and a single stem of baby's breath.

I cut them up and popped them in the vase. I was instantly delighted. This delight lasted about a week before they shrivelled, at which point I felt quite sad. Then I experienced the singular pleasure of fixing my own sadness on purpose by going out and buying tiny flowers again.

I've been doing this for over two months and it's still working! Sometimes I change up the flowers. My favourite combo right now is two big round-type blooms plus baby's breath. 

But my favourite combo isn't the point. The point is this: it's so easy to feel like small, frivolous pleasures aren't worth pursuing. But what is living for, if not enjoyment? Why do you exist, if not to strive for happiness?

Do the thing. Be nice to yourself on purpose. If your feelings didn't matter, you wouldn't have them.

If you’re already a VIP, drop me a 🫖 emoji. If you aren’t on the list, drop me a 💐… and check my site to join us 💘

Happy Love Day, gang! I’m still in my “new year new me” era so I voluntarily left the house this month and it went quite well. I even found a few delights to show you: Dani & Zaf at my favourite library, a table of Brad & Celine at my local Waterstones, and some truly fantastic changing room graffiti. As you can probably tell, all this pleases me greatly.

Another thing that pleases me is how well #HSaUC fits the V Day aesthetic. Perfect. Chef’s kiss. What’s making you feel pink and sparkly lately? Let me know 💖
