A Murderer on the Moon is out on August 11th! Preorders are live now: mybook.to/amotm AMotM is set during Lonely Castles, so my recommended reading order is: Iron Truth -> Lonely Castles -> A Killer in Kirkclair -> A Murderer on the Moon... ...or bravely jump right into this new Primaterre Tale!

A mock-up of A Murderer on the Moon in various formats. Cover art by the fantastic mr.OH!, who has done all my covers since Iron Truth, as well as all interior illustrations and maps. He worked hard on this one - it has TWO maps!The back cover for A Murderer on the Moon, featuring Detective Grace Telluride. The blurb reads: Phobos. God of fear. Moon of Mars. Crucible of purity. The Primaterre. Dogmatic, xenophobic, governed by paranoia, yet thousands flock to its borders seeking respite, asylum, new lives. Phobos is the proving ground, the path to citizenship a brutal gauntlet of the mind. Few are found worthy. The refugee camp is a hotbed of frustration, grudges and bad blood. When the first successful applicant in years is murdered, Camp Asaph teeters on the brink of calamity as enemies old and new clash. Detectives Telluride and Bloom must untangle a plot with as many moving parts as Phobos itself, and apprehend A MURDERER ON THE MOON.

I am delighted to publicly reveal the cover artwork for my upcoming series, MEMORIES OF FIRE! It includes dragons like you've never seen before, meddling gods, flintlock vibes, and an animal companion MEMORIES OF FIRE is an adult epic fantasy quartet, and my most ambitious series yet!

A young man with a pied crow on his shoulder and a glaive on his back walks through the ruins of a battlefield. Blackened swords and arrows litter the ground and ash rains down from above. A god-killing Reaper dragon flies in front of him and stares out at us, flames in its jaws. This is the cover art for the upcoming Memories of Fire - an epic fantasy quartet. Book 1, Faithless Gods, will release at the end of 2026

Okay, okay, even I’m surprised that there’s more zombie shows for me to watch. Watch them I will. Another update, and this time it’s off a rec from @sofietholin.bsky.social #zombies

Just updated this sucker for the first time and I cannot believe how many zombie shows there are … … and how many of them get cancelled after a single season. #zombies fanfiaddict.com/like-zombies...

Hel ✨ || Untwined is blooming 🌀🪷@helynalc.bsky.social · 4w ago

Today is the cover reveal of Untwined, the second book in my dark fantasy duology! 💙📚 The fight for freedom, revenge, and agency that started in Imbued reaches conclusion in this final installment. As near effortlessly as Imbued flowed out of me, writing Untwined turned out to be...so difficult. 🧵

The cover of Untwined by Helyna L. Clove depicting a purple-pink lotus flower with a bright yellow center on a lake surface surrounded by lily pads. The pads and the water are in colors of golden yellow. Similar golden magical threads are whirling around the flower.

In this interview I talk about snake charmers, the number 1 mistake you can make as a writer (you can find it in this very sentence, haha), the inimitable work of @stevewestenra.bsky.social, and my own upcoming SF detective novel!

Lonely Castles is 0.99 in the amazing Narratess sale! On Amazon UK/US, you can also pick up Iron Truth for 0.99 this weekend. If you like SFF with intense action, love and loyalty above all, and defiance against overwhelming odds... it's a good weekend to start the Primaterre series! :)

BildAlarms blared through the corridors. Breaches to the east and the west. The lab's main entrance still held, but one turret hung limp and useless, black smoke rising from its fried power cell. The other turret, controlled by Lucklaw, fired relentlessly. Rounds smacked into the concrete residential block and powered through plate glass, but the RebEarthers had slipped out of range, returning fire from a safe distance. Sooner or later, the turret would join its twin in electronic death. Kiruna and Daneborg haunted the upper stories of the building, observing six RebEarthers climb the fire escape. The first one died before the second made it to the last rung, but Daneborg made his death a silent one, dragging the man away by the combat knife shoved into his jaw. Kiruna stayed back, allowing the other RebEarthers to enter and discover the trail of blood. She let them start tracking it, and as the tension grew enough for the men to start snapping at each other, she made her move. Two more down, and the remaining three ran blindly down the dark corridors. Daneborg quietly waited for them to call in their predicament, and then he and Kiruna flanked and ended the chase. Elegant, and brutal enough that Cassimer estimated that it'd take RebEarth at least ten minutes before they tried that entry point again. Ghosts, the last one had gurgled over his comms, ghosts on the fifth floor. (The sort of thing you might expect from Lonely Castles!)

I've been hearing from people who were in my cozy sale that they feel like it was a success, in terms of sales and fresh attention. If you want to be in future sales, they're all linked here: sheilajenne.com/2026/02/11/i... Next month is April Aliens—really, any and all non-human characters!

Introducing monthly sales

So I was thinking, wouldn’t it be neat to have themed sales? Instead of a single broad promotion, we could have very narrow sales with just a few books, curated to match a specific theme.

I have a lot of original art available from my old comics, too many pages to list at the shops in an efficient way. If you are into this sort of thing contact me and I'll show you what I have. If original art isn't within your budget, starting next month I'm going to give you a chance to win some.
