Fall’s Here!

October 14, 2026 by ElleJames

I don’t know about you, but I’m so glad it’s finally fall!

We had weeks of record-high, triple-digit temperatures and no rain. For NW Arkansas, that’s not the norm. We lost ten trees (small ones we’d planted in the spring). The mosquitoes didn’t suffer. They were out in full force.

I spent a lot of time in the pool, after the shade covered it completely. I loved standing in the pool and painting on the edge.

Here are some of my masterpieces. Okay, I’m still learning how to use watercolors. But it was fun and relaxing.

Happy Fall, y’all!

Feisty? Try Army Ranger – JACQUES Is Coming October 20

October 10, 2026 by ElleJames

What did Bayou Mambaloa miss when it called one Ranger feisty?

JACQUES follows Danny French, the Crawdad Hole bartender with a hidden Ranger tab and a voice she cannot forget. This romantic suspense brings Army grit, bayou danger, and a heroine whose reputation tells only the easiest part of the story.

Jacques Jardine Stays – JACQUES Releases October 20

October 3, 2026 by ElleJames

Jacques Jardine stays after the warning signs start pointing home.

In JACQUES, Danny French has every reason to keep him at arm’s length, especially when the man who haunts her knows where she works. This Bayou Brotherhood Protectors romantic suspense turns protection into a promise Danny never planned to need.

September 30, 2026 by ElleJames

Danny French sets down a beer at the Crawdad Hole and hears the voice she never forgot.

JACQUES returns to Bayou Mambaloa with romantic suspense built on one terrifying memory. Four men walk in, one voice cuts through the noise, and Danny’s private hunt for the monster who drugged her stops feeling private.

Planning Ahead

September 26, 2026 by ElleJames

It’s that time of year when I look toward the next year. I can’t believe we’re almost three-quarters of the way through 2026! I’ve been busy coming up with my book schedule, book covers, blurbs and more for 2027. I like to open preorders early so readers can lock in on my upcoming stories.

I’m a very creative person in both my writing and other artsy activities. Another creative outlet of mine is designing my own book covers. I taught myself Photoshop and love making my own covers. I have complete artistic control over the process.

What do you think of the covers for 2027?

I’ll have two new series. Lone Wolf Heritage, based in South Dakota, starts in December 2026 with CHIEF. Brotherhood Protectors Island Guard with Rising Mist, based in Washington’s San Juan Islands, starts in March. I’ll also continue the Brotherhood Protectors Stealth Operations Specialists series with three more books.

I’m going to be very busy!

December 2026 CHIEF Lone Wolf Heritage #1	January 2027 PHANTOM Stealth Operations Specialists #5	March 2027 RISING MIST Brotherhood Protectors Island Guard #1
April 2027 COWBOY Lone Wolf Heritage #2	May 2027 CHAOS Stealth Operations Specialists #6	June 2027 SILENT MIST Brotherhood Protectors Island Guard #2
August 2027 RIDER Lone Wolf Heritage #3	October 2027 KRONOS Stealth Operations Specialists #7	November 2027 KILLING MIST Brotherhood Protectors Island Guard #3
