Michelle Hazen is a nomad with a writing problem.

Years ago, she and her husband ducked out of the 9 to 5 world and moved into a life as digital nomads. She found her voice with the support of the online fanfiction community, and once she started typing, she never looked back.

As a result, she's written most of her books in odd places, including a bus in Thailand, an off-the-grid cabin in the Sawtooth Mountains, a golf cart in a sandstorm, a rental car during a heat wave in the Mohave Desert, a century-old Creole cottage in New Orleans, and a beach in Honduras. These days, she's writing all the romance and friendship scenes her heart can hold, while working as a freelance editor and writing coach with Sanctuary Editorial.

My publisher has no plans to release a paperback edition, and I'm thinking it's a bit short to bother with re-formatting it for on-demand paperback. For the short pieces in my Sex, Love, and Rock and Roll series, I kept them all ebook for that reason, and also for price: once you print it you have to charge more to cover costs and that doesn't seem fair when it's a short piece. Here's the link to get the wedding ebook:
http://michellehazenbooks.com/unbreak...

BUT I do have good news. There will be another short story/novella (I think a bit more involved than the wedding story) following Breathe the Sky in which the characters in Unbreak Me and Breathe the Sky meet each other and become part of each other's lives. I feel it's the epilogue to both books because it shows (and changes) a lot of where they end up in life and makes an even happier ending for all four of them. Plus, more horses. That will be called Love Heals and I intend to release the ebook of that after Breathe the Sky has been out for a minute. Perhaps as a Christmas gift to my readers.

Thanks for reading!(less)

Book Deal News!

I’m over the moon to share this one, readers. This is my White Whale book, the one I believed in the most of everything I’ve ever written. It’s always felt special to me—weird, yes, but special. Ready for your first peek?

This whole thing started in 2018. My 16 y/o goddaughter was walking with me down the streets of New Orleans and she said, “I saw my first dead body in Walmart.” I stop

“Look.” He held their hands up in front of her face, her fingers starkly pale against his. “Just look, for once. They’re never going to look the same. And when white people claim they’re color-blind, they don’t notice the difference, it’s a lie. My history is not your history; my culture is not your culture. I don’t want them to be. I’m proud of who I am and where I come from. All I want is to not be the last one rescued in a flood but the first one to wind up in handcuffs.”
Michelle Hazen, Unbreak Me

“It’s hard to love something so much and see it hurting when you can’t fix it. After a while, it starts to eat you alive inside.” He met her eyes. “Maybe that’s why I left.”
Michelle Hazen, Unbreak Me

“I know it ain’t right, but I can’t stand the idea of letting you go so you can look for somebody better.”
“I don’t know what I need,” she said, her voice breaking. “But if it’s not you, I don’t want it.”
Michelle Hazen, Unbreak Me

“Eventually the man comes to see that he has a mind, and that his mind is like a fist, wrapped tightly around a single thought. He cannot open the fist to look at the thought, for fear that it will fly away, but he knows that it is very important and that he must hang on to it, no matter what the cost.”
Ben Loory, Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”
Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

“How absurd it was that in all seven kingdoms, the weakest and most vulnerable of people - girls, women - went unarmed and were taught nothing of fighting, while the strong were trained to the highest reaches of their skill.”
Kristin Cashore, Graceling
