A big shout out to America - happy 250th birthday!! History was my favorite subject in school, and both American and world history have inspired many of my stories, in big and small ways. So a very happy birthday, America - I wish you 250 more. If you click the eagle graphic or here you can see my current favorite "I love America" commercial. Yes, I DO adore the Budweiser Clydesdales. Now, on to an update for the latest book!
I have a CHAPTER ONE sneak peek of AT THEIR MERCY for you! Want to see how Bastion, Ren and Swan's story gets started? Click here or the graphic below for the Book Funnel download in your preferred format. Let me know what you think!

Just a reminder of what the story is about:
Bastion wants a threesome family, two submissives to call his own. But the failure of that dream burned him, and he hasn’t healed enough to try again.
Ren Borgata, a Dom and co-worker who’s a match for Bastion’s formidable personality, wants Swan Foster, the bartender at Headspace.
She craves the control of two Masters. And Ren will switch—for the right Dom.
As a thrice-hit-bottom addict, Swan Foster avoids temptation. Her answer to “what do you want?” can destroy her. Every part of her has been broken.
Yet the two Doms standing at her bar want her. With his commanding voice, Bastion takes over her senses with a mere drink order, and every time Ren’s stare pierces her, she’s ready to go to her knees.
If she answers the question “what do you want” for Bastion and Ren, will she find a better answer for herself?
Only one terrifying way to find out.

And here are the preorder links! Release date is November 15, 2026.
Note: The print format isn't eligible for preorder, but will become available about 7-10 days before the ebook release, so you can get it shipped to you and hopefully it will reach your doorway by that ebook release date. There are no plans for audio at this time.
All the Mistresses of the Board Room books can standalone, but there are guest appearances by the other MCs throughout the stories. Introduce yourself to all the Mistresses or enjoy a re-read while waiting for the release of At Their Mercy.
I have a plaque sitting in our home entryway that says the above. Here's one of the reasons why.
I know anyone who gets gooey over romantic gestures is likely familiar with the famous scene from Say Anything. If not, go out and RENT THAT FILM, lol. Earlier this week, I was sitting at the kitchen table having my third hot flash while working on some Bookfunnel files, and then I felt this lovely breeze...my husband was providing his very appropriate version of the romantic gesture.
It's good to have someone who understands what you consider romantic at 58 may be a little different from what it was at 21 - but I cherish all the gestures we have experienced in our 37 years together.

In Harley's story, a biker wakes up in a hospital without his foot, but a stubborn woman shows him that wrecked doesn't mean finished. Miranda's heroine is trying to hide her vampire-hunting past from her college classmates, but a vampire researching demons and kissing her in the shadows of her library causes additional complications. Tiffany offers a possessive, older male and a shy, homeless virgin for an insta-love HEA story. And Zoey's story features a second chance story with an alpha wolf hero who never forgot the half-witch heroine he let escape.

2023 CONFERENCE SCHEDULE
No conferences this year, but look under the Extra Stuff section for ways to get a signed book or swag from me anyway!
Want a Kindle signature? My books are listed at the Authorgraph site, so if you'd like a "Kindlegraph", send me a request! Just go to Authorgraph.com, put Joey W. Hill in the search line, and it will pull up my books, with a "Request Authorgraph" button beneath each.
Want a signed bookplate for your print book and a bookmark? No need to be bummed about not seeing me at a book signing. Just shoot me an email at storywitch@PROTECTED with your mailing address and the title(s) of the book(s) for which you want a signature, and I'll send you personalized bookplates anytime, free of charge. And I always send it with a signed bookmark!
HAVE YOU CHECKED THE AUTHOR'S WEBSITE?
I am ALWAYS delighted to hear from my readers, and I never mind answering your questions. However, about 90% of the general questions I receive on email can be quickly answered on my website, www.storywitch.com. And the cool thing is you get your answer in the time it takes you to do a couple clicks, versus having to type up your question and send it to me, then wait for me to emerge from my writing cave and check my email.
A lot of authors experience this now. Because we have so much more of a presence at FB, Twitter, and the like, it's easy to forget that most authors still maintain a website where you can quickly get info. On my site, you can not only find BLURBS and FREE EXCERPTS for every book I've published, you can find SERIES ORDER, including recommendations on which ones can stand alone or need specific titles to be read first. Under the In the Works page, you'll find information about UPCOMING RELEASES and what's percolating (the popular "will you ever write a book about so-n-so" question would be answered there).
Just go to my website, storywitch.com, and enjoy your visit. It is specifically and deliberately designed not to be flashy or confusing. Just look at the drop down menus at the top for what you're seeking.
Want a SIGNED BOOKMARK? I have seven beautiful bookmarks, each design representing one of my series: Knights of the Board Room, Nature of Desire, Vampire Queen, Arcane Shot, Daughters of Arianne, Mistresses of the Board Room, and Naughty Bits. You can look at them here (click on the one you like for a larger view).
Just shoot me an email at storywitch@storywitch.com with your mailing address and tell me which bookmark you want. I'll send you two of that design - one for you and one to share! And yes, I WILL mail bookmarks to international readers. NOTE: some of these show previous cover editions, but hopefully that doesn't detract from their appeal!
Want a SIGNED BOOK? Email me at storywitch@storywitch.com with 1) what book you want, 2) your mailing address, and 3) if you want me to personalize it to a particular name (Mary, Marie, Marissa, etc), or no personalization, just a signature and a cheery note. I'll send you an invoice and, once that's squared away, the book will be on its way to you!
Want a SIGNED BOOKPLATE? Want a bookplate for your favorite JWH book(s)? Just email me at storywitch@storywitch.com with your mailing address, the title(s) of the book(s), and I'll send you personalized bookplates anytime, free of charge. I always send it with a signed bookmark!
Want to read BONUS CONTENT STORIES revisiting my characters? I have over a dozen FREE novellas/shorts with easy BookFunnel download links. You'll find them all under the Cantrips (Vignettes) menu item on my website.
Want me to visit your BOOKCLUB? I'm available for online bookclub meetings and even sometimes in-person clubs, within a reasonable geographic range. Don't hesitate to ask! Just email me at storywitch@storywitch.com.

DIDN'T GET A RESPONSE?
Responding to my readers, and doing so in a very timely manner (within 24-48 hours), is extremely important to me. So if you have sent a communication to me in any medium noted above and have not received a response, a technical glitch has occurred. Either your communication did not get through, or my response did not reach you. If you suspect that's the case, use one of the alternative methods to send me a "Hey, Joey, I sent you a note through email (or social media platform, etc). Did you get it?" message, and we'll make sure we sort it out. I will never intentionally ignore my readers!
ARE YOU A NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIBER, BUT YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING MY NEWSLETTER PAST YOUR SPAM FILTER? - Whenever I issue a newsletter, I will also post about it on the social media platforms mentioned above, to ensure it reaches the widest number of people possible. So if you're following me on any of them, you'll get a heads up. Or you can put https://storywitch.com/newsletter/?latest as one of your Favorite links. You can click on it anytime to see if a new newsletter has been released. I try to get a new issue out during the first 7 days of every month.
HELP ME WITH FOLLOWS/REVIEWS
NEVER an obligation, but when you follow or review me on Bookbub, Amazon or both, it increases my books' visibility and marketing options on those sites. And in return, you get a heads up about releases and sales!
Thank you so much for your support of my work!
