Spring Renewal

Tiffany Renee Harmon

This has felt like the longest winter ever. The excitement of all the upcoming changes coming this summer are making the seasons pass so slowly. But while I wait, I’m trying to grow this spring by embracing my hobbies and spending lots of time finding emotional and mental renewal in the small, beautiful moments of life.

This is my new pet, Pearl the half moon betta fish. He keeps me company while I tend to my houseplants, draw, bake, and knit. It’s nice to have a little friend to take care of. Side note: if you have any tips on how to safely move a betta fish from Ohio to Missouri, please do let me know in the comment section because we’re brainstorming already!

Where Have I Been?

Tiffany Renee Harmon

It’s been so long since I posted to my website, and I thought it was about time to check in. So what have I been doing in my absence? I’ve been living!

Relationships take up a lot of time, and the last few months have been filled with so much growth and happiness. Right before New Year’s Eve, my boyfriend requested an upgrade to fiance and I said yes!

I’m looking forward to all the new adventures and growth opportunities in 2023, including getting married and moving to a new state. As a person with a lot of anxiety, I expected so many changes to be terrifying, but they haven’t been because I have the most supportive partner in the world and I get to borrow so much of his strength whenever I need it.

On a more professional note, Crooked is still slated to come out in 2023! The editing process has been pushed back a bit so I don’t have an exact date to share, but I’m so excited to have found a home at World Castle Publishing. They’ve done a fantastic job with the cover art, and I am looking forward to our continued partnership beyond this first book.

This is also our third year with Ephemeral Elegies, a confessional poetry journey. It’s been an honor to build relationships and connect with so many new and emerging poets. We’ve been able to expand to three poems weekly, and it’s been a fun journey with this project.

And last but certainly not least, there are some new projects in the works! There may be a poetry collection surprise by the end of 2023, and stay tuned for information on two new book series (both mysteries – one cozy and one more traditional).

Thanks for reading! I can tell 2023 is going to be a great year, and I’d love to know what some of your goals are for the year – feel free to share in the comment section!

New Book Update!

Tiffany Renee Harmon

I have really exciting news that I’m finally able to share! I have received a publishing contract for my second book: Crooked! This is the start of a new series and is not a sequel to Suburban Secrets. World Castle Publishing has been great to work with so far, and I’m excited to see where this project goes! Here is the official cover art:

We are still in the editing stages, so we don’t have a release date yet, but I’m hoping for sometime in 2023. I think I’ll leave you with a little teaser – the official description of my new thriller:

After hacker Vivienne Steele is caught by the FBI, she is given an ultimatum – go undercover to infiltrate a corrupt corporation or spend 15 years in jail. With nothing to lose, Vivienne accepts and is thrown into a world of lies and deception where the line between good and evil is constantly blurred. When a series of mysterious text messages threaten to expose her, she sets out to discover the truth for herself and finds that the life she ran away from years ago may not be as far away as she’d hoped.

Thanks so much for reading, and stay tuned for more developments on this project!

Summertime Book Reveal!

Tiffany Renee Harmon

I haven’t been around much this summer – there’s something about this season that really encourages me to stay busy and I rarely stop to reflect or blog. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been writing. In fact, I’m pleased to announce that my second book should be out by the end of the year! It’s a work of romantic suspense, which is a big departure for me, but I’m really proud of it and can’t wait to share! In the meantime, enjoy my latest painting…

Thanks for reading!
