I am alone. I am afraid.

The first installment of the Markham Hall series - free for a limited time.

I want to talk to you.

I didn't plan on writing the Thornchapel series.  That is to say, I had a pretty orderly schedule for my 2019 and 2020, and that schedule included nothing at all about a bunch of broody assholes out on the moors.  But sometimes ideas just take hold of you and won't let go; they crowd into your mind until you say FINE FINE ILL DO IT. 🥀 But when I started writing, I realized this story wasn't a brash interloper at all.  It's been inside me for years and years, locked in a walled garden, and merely waiting for me to find the key. It waited until Thornchapel became the story I needed to tell, even if I didn't know it yet. Brains are funny that way. So here it is, the story that shoved its way to the front of the line.  It's about a kinky, drinky librarian, a pouty rich boy, and another pouty boy with a lip ring.  It's about a genius and a socialite and a priest.  It's about a house and the secrets it keeps, and it's about longing and fog and history and crumbling, neglected libraries and BDSM and betrayal and sexy, breathless rituals in a long-abandoned church... 🥀 It's time for us to go to the thorn chapel together.  I hope you'll forgive me for what we find there. #thornchapel #alessoninthorns #sierrasimone #romanceauthorsofinstagram #newrelease #contemporaryromance #happyequinox
So blown away by this #ThornChapel edit! Thank you, @shay_shelf! Only two days left until the first book in this kinky, broody, foggy, pretty, and aggressively bisexual series is out there in the world! I can’t wait to share this one with all my saints, sinners, and lambs. 🥀🥀🥀 #sierrasimone #ALessonInThorns
What can I say about this cover other than it’s the kinky, pretty, sexy cover of my dreams??? This book is like a fairy tale, except it’s a fairy tale of my own invention, one about sex and pain and secrets (and rituals and jealousy and the very, very sexy digitization of rare books). @byhangle managed to capture that contemporary, kinky fairy tale feeling perfectly in this beauty and I’m so, so excited to finally show it off to you! A Lesson in Thorns will be here 3.21.19! 🥀 #thornchapel #alessoninthorns #sierrasimone #byhangle #coverreveal
When you’re trying to finish a book and your 8 year old takes up residence in your office chair (I stopped writing and had her help me sift through 1,000,000 stock photos of girls in ball gowns instead.) #ImNeverGoingToFinishThisBook #sheisprettydangcutetho
Like a perverted, bespectacled swallow, I’ve been migrating to the same spot in the Smokey Mountains since 2014 to write, drink and talk shop with other writers. I’m prairie born and raised, being from Kansas-land and all, and so I never considered myself a mountain person (Yes, I’ve been to the Rockies, no, I don’t like them, there’s too much domestic beer there.) But then I came to Gatlinburg and something about it just clicked with me. There’s trees and trees and trees and fog straight out of my dreams. And a hot tub. ANYHOOZLE, I love that place and all the delicious, mountain gothic feels it gives me, and all the work I get done there, and all the life-changing conversations I’ve had on those wood floors. The reason I can leave is knowing that eventually I’ll get to come back (and stress about another deadline there 🤷‍♀️). I miss you, Smokey Mountain Word and Booze Chateau. Until next time! #madcapretreats #madcaprt #smokeymountains
