After 18 years of being on Livejournal, I have decided to no longer update here. I haven't been able to update here much lately with my crazy work schedule, my busy family life, and frustration with the terrible user experience of this site. And honestly, I have just lost interest. No hard feelings if you want to delete me as a friend here. I'm really not going to use this platform anymore. My paid account is ending as well.

I am on Twitter daily (mostly). You can find me @heatherkrowe (my personal account) and @qpaynesgrey (my fandom account). Twitter is most likely the MAIN place to find me from now on, and AO3 the second.

I also update occasionally on Tumblr (as @quirkypaynesgrey) and I lurk on Discord (as quirkypaynesgrey#5881).

For my writing, I am still occasionally updating at Dreamwidth and AO3 for fandom and WordPress for original writing.

See you all later! Thanks for the great memories on Livejournal. Take care.

I don't think I did one of these last year...

 So... in an effort to do a FREE promotion for the Spirits Abound anthology that I did with other writers last year, I ended up setting up a promo for the wrong book. So my novel Unbridled is currently FREE on Amazon kindle now instead.

If you haven't gotten a copy yet, please do so! The Promotion ends this Sunday.

Unbridled by H.K. Rowe

Summary:  Two orphan brothers are taken in by their rich cousins, only to become involved in a dangerous and risque romance with their beautiful daughter. And as each brother falls for her further, dark secrets arise weakening their strong bond.




Spirits Abound will go up FREE tomorrow. And I'll make a post for that too.

Thank you to those who download! DOUBLE TRIPLE THANKS if you manage to leave a review.

The lovelynemophilistis having another FREE Book Giveaway for her books A History of Madness and Haze atself_published.

Haze Summary:

When Eliza Owens gets a phone call in the middle of the night from a girl she’s never met, she doesn’t know what to think. The girl introduces herself as Paige, and says she used to date Erik Stern, Eliza’s fiancé. What’s more, she has something important to discuss.
The only problem? Paige has been dead for years.

Believing it to be a sick prank, Eliza tries to force it from her mind until Sam, Eliza’s older sister, tells her she met Paige only a few weeks before. And, according to Sam, Paige has nothing nice to say about Erik.

The fight which follows shatters the lives of everyone involved, and Erik disappears without a trace.

Five years later, Erik returns to town after his father’s death. Old wounds quickly resurface, and with them several burning questions. None the least of which is: Who spoke to Eliza and Sam if it wasn’t Paige? And why?

A History of Madness Summary:


The four remaining fugitives are now spread across the Kingdom. And with the fate of the others unknown to him, Nate Anteros prays for a fast execution.

Yet execution does not come. After a meeting with the King which leaves Nate questioning his sanity, he’s sent to a workcamp in Argon Basin for five years of hard labour. It’s there that Nate learns what became of his friends upon their arrest.

And as his strength returns to him, and he’s plagued by dreams which are much too real to be ignored, Nate decides five years is far too long to wait …
