My amazing father passed away two weeks ago. He was loved beyond measure. It was my Dad who introduced me to writing as a kid, and along with my Mom, made me believe that I could be an author when I grew up. This is us the day my first book was released.
I’m going to take a little break from writing and from my author page while I wrestle with this broken heart. But I’ll be back, I promise. ❤️
Love you, Dad.
Oh my goodness, Kaylie, I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. Please know you’re in my prayers!
Such a hard loss. I wish you the best on your journey through grief. Just know you will get through it.
I'm so sorry. Your Dad was amazing.
May his memory be a blessing.
So sorry. It’s so hard loosing a parent. Big hugs
I am so very sorry for your loss. Sending love.
So sorry Kaylie, losing a parent is hard. Hugs!
Sending prayers...
so sorry Kaylie. Lucky and proud man, tho, to know that when he passed he had raised such a fabulous daughter.
I'm so sorry, Kaylie. Hugs and prayers of comfort for you and the family.
Hugs to you and the family.
Oh Kaylie, I am so sorry. You hit the lottery in the dad department . ❤️Prayers to you and your family.
Kaylie, I’m so sorry for your loss, Positive thoughts and prayers coming your way.
Hugs and prayers to you and your family.
So sorry for your loss.
Much love, Kaylie.
He was a great man and left an indelible print of his legacy in his family. He embodied quiet charm. Thinking of you all and praying for your peace and comfort.
❤️
I’m sorry!!!! Big hug.
So sorry for your loss
❤️
❤❤❤
I'm so sorry for your loss

Happy Monday! I’ve been reading up a storm this last week. Kind of surprised my Kindle isn’t smoking! Today, I’m digging into a Harlequin. What are you guys reading? 🤓
Beta-reading a yummy hockey romance.
Know My Name by Chanel Miller. It’s great (and lots to think about).
rereading the Alpha and Omega series by Patricia Briggs cause I got a new one recently. xD
The Final Girls
Harry Potter and the Gobket of Fire...for the 7th time?? I get to relax in a good story, but I can put it down (and go to bed) since I know what happens
Waiting for edits, which means I’ll be taking my teen daughters bathing suit shopping today. Pray for me. 😳
TANNER’S PROMISE is FREE for a short time! This is the first book in my Harlow Brothers Series, and is one of my all-time favorites. 😊💕
Where do we find the free version?
Great book, don’t miss it!

Very sweet
Happy International Women’s Day! I was raised by a very strong woman, and now I’m raising two very strong girls. Makes me happy and proud. 😊💕
Just poured a cup of tea, and am sitting down to polish this book into shape! I don’t care what I’m working on, tea always makes me feel so writerly. 😌🫖💕
I think you just created a new word
My friend Natasha’s book is on sale right this hot minute! 🔥 Her stories are soooo good. #romancebooks #booklover #readersofinstagram
Who wants to revise my book for me? Bueller? Bueller? 😬
Are you saying I get to read the book for free before everyone else? Sure!
Oh yeah...a first draft isn't quite done. LOL
Working on polishing up my latest story this beautiful Sunday morning. ☀️ This book is the third and final story in my Cole Brothers series, and is called The Montana Cowboy’s Heart. Can’t wait to share it with you! 📚
Perfect!! I’m fond of the Cole Brothers ❤️
Sweet!
Can’t wait!!!!!!!
A couple weeks away from finishing the hardest book EVAH. Looking forward to taking this weekend off. Lots of reading and Netflix on the agenda! 😍
No writing for me this weekend. Trying to refill the creativity well. Happy Saturday!
Hope you find some fun along the way
Happy Friday Eve! What’s everyone reading? Thanks to your suggestions, I picked up Ruth Ware’s latest, and will be digging in this weekend! Nothing like having a good book to look forward to. 😌📚💕
My daughter bought me a year of new books through the Brilliant Books book club. The first book I'm reading now, Binti by Nnedi Okorafor
Just started The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel. Only 2 chapters in but so far so good.
Just finished Jacee Dugard's Bio and now reading this. Why do I do this to myself? So intense and sad.
Trying to write a love scene with the neighbors discussing their septic tank right outside my window, is not romantic.
I tried reading one while my dad was watching his old sitcoms in the next room. There’s nothing sexy about the Petticoat Junction theme song.
Eeeewwwwww
I reached the halfway point in my book on Friday. This is a big deal for me, since it’s by far the hardest book I’ve ever had to write. Continuing to write though the loss of one of my best friends has been a daily challenge, and one that every day, I’m not sure I can tackle. But every morning when I open my computer, I feel her with me. There have been signs, warmth, memories, love, all giving me a gentle shove from behind. I know that when I do finish this story, it will have been a team effort.
I love you, Nola. ❤️
Thank you....
I started the BEST book, and now I’m reading slowly because I don’t want it to end. Murder mystery set in a snowy mountain lodge? Yes, please! 🔪💀👀 What are you reading?
Are you reading Ruth Ware's One by One? I read that about two weeks ago and loved it! My current read is Amanda Quick's Close Up.
Ooo. I just started the third in the Spell Weaver trilogy by Annette Marie. I love her stuff.
Been reading a lot of Louis L’Amour novels
I’m currently re-reading Stephen King’s On Writing.
I'm still reading A Promised Land by Barack Obama. In my defense, it is a little over 700 pages
Reading the Harry Dresden series! There is something about Wizards named Harry. Haha
Make Russia Great Again by Christopher Buckley
Your post
The Duke and I
Hamilton by Ron Chernow

Thanks! Got my copy
Wishing you all peace and love in this new year. 🥂✨
Happy New Year to you and your family Kaylie.🥰
Same to you Kaylie!
Getting ready to sit down and write. This book has been a challenge. Trying to keep motivated by giving myself rewards when I meet my word count goal. Today, it’s coconut chocolate cookies!
Yummy!
Merry Christmas and happiest of holidays! I hope your season is full of peace and love (and lots of good books!). ❤️🎄✨
Merry Christmas 🎄
Same to you Kaylie!

Merry Christmas 🎄❤️
Happy to report that the blurb has been successfully wrangled. Can you tell I’m working on a cowboy book? 😬
Working on a blurb this morning. This is soooo haaaard. 😩😩
I hate those damn things!!!
Happy Friday! One more day of writing, before two days off to wrap presents and watch Christmas movies in my pj’s. 😬🎄✨
❤️Interview ~ MONTANA CHRISTMAS MAGIC by Kaylie Newell, Author readyourwrites.blogspot.com/2020/12/interview-montana-christmas-magic-by.html #ContemporaryRomance #Christmas #FirstinSeries #TheColeBrothers #readzTule Tule Publishing Group
I love it! So funny my kid has been trying to get me to adopt a dog, and in the book he does! Lol. Only half way thru it and i love every character. ❤
Nice interview. I was secretly hoping my favorite line from the book was included though lol
If you’re looking for a lovely Christmas story to curl up by the fire with, A Family for Christmas is a delight from start to finish. 🎄✨ #readztule #christmas #romancebooks #smalltownromance
Today in the Tule Book Club, I’ll be sharing my favorite Christmas cookie recipe (hint: it’s no bake!) and doing a fun giveaway. Stop by and say hello! 🎄✨
Writing. Take note of the entirely empty sectional, and the 70 pound doberman who has me pinned up against the very end. Any closer and he’d be in my lap (which, let’s be honest, is where he’d really prefer to be).
He LOVES you😳😂
Such a baby. ❤️
I lost one of my dearest friends this week. I haven’t been able to write since. I’m going to give myself a few more days, and then I’ll have to open the computer again, as I have a deadline. But it’s going to be hard. In fact, I worry that I won’t know how to do this without her. To which, she’d tell me to pull up my big girl panties and get to work. 💗
Kaylie Newell - Nola would want you to keep writing. Why not mention her in your book dedications... Now there's a motive to get you going. <3 Finish line here you come. 🙂
Thinking about how Dee would have kicked my butt if I'd stopped writing because I lost her did help me get back to work. Actually, it helped me find the courage to approach Jane and Tule Publishing Group. It will be hard, but I'm here if you need an empathetic ear. And just remember how proud she was of you.
Sometimes trauma cattle prods my creative process. Think about what she’d tell you,as I know she was your critique partner. Perhaps you can work some of her influence and inspiration into one of the characters? My advice is to use it some how. Then this project will always have a bittersweet tie to her.♥️
I’m so sorry Kaylie, I lost one of my best friends on thanksgiving day. She may of had four legs but she was one in a million and never had an unkind word to say about anything. Time heals this empty hole in our hearts and they would want us to cry and then laugh but also start to pick up the pieces and move forward. It’s ok to give yourself time to grieve, because it’s part of the healing process. And maybe out of the crying and the laughing at the funny memories will come creatively and that’s what she would want. So it will come but it takes a little time...💔🥺❤️
You can. She will be so proud. 💕
So sorry to hear this news 😥
You aren't doing this without her. You are doing it with years of her advice under your belt. Right now her support isn't as obvious, but it's there.
Sorry for your loss 😔
Receive her spirit, and it will fill you with inspiration.
My heart breaks for you 💔
So sorry for your loss! I hope you find comfort and peace in those sayings that she would say to you and she will always live on in your heart. Hugs friend! ❤️
I need to start writing, but this is what I’ve been doing instead. #authorsofinstagram #readersofinstagram #dobermansofinstagram #friday #dogs #writer #love
Me getting ready to start my new book. If I look slightly terrified, I am. 😏 #authorsofinstagram #readersofinstagram #readztule #romancebooks
Your thumb has a halo!
Starting the latest release today, looking forward to some relaxation time. We all love your work and look forward to your next project! 🤓 still love to read. And paperbacks not on an electronic device. Lol
I’ve looked in local stores and can’t find your books. Where are they sold? You ever thought of writing one based in Hawaii?
Starting my new book this week. I’m nervous. I’m always worried if this is the book where all my creativity runs dry and I just sit there with a blank look on my face for two months. 😳
I am so with you--starting my new this week, too, and I have the same exact fear!
Remember, the hardest part is putting ass to chair LOL. You got this girl!
You are a great writer!! Love your books 📚 ❤
You haven't let yourself or your readers down yet!
You'll smash it as always x
You’re going do it. ❤️
Haha! You? Nahhhh...😘
How about a pandemic love story!! Maybe about a couple who meet online (maybe a work out group and then arrange to meet in a romantic spot after the pandemic. Lockdowns are hard on single people.
No worries from me. You’ll do just fine!
I got book mail today! This is the best part. 😊 #authorsofinstagram #readersofinstagram #romancebooks #readztule
Woohoo
