A warm hello, dear reader!

I’m Hailey Renee, an Indiana-based author of cozy romance and poetry, writing stories that feel like home. I’m building a community rooted in intention, connection, and the quiet magic of words that heal.

​

Looking a little deeper, I am the author of The Homegrown Hearts Collection, The Caneberry Trilogy, and The Star Collector. I am also the artist and folk practitioner behind By Stone & Spirit, and I work behind the scenes as a social media manager and personal assistant supporting both indie and traditionally published authors. Alongside that, I am the founder of Blooms & Bookery, where I work as a licensed florist creating book-inspired bouquets in collaboration with authors, while also offering florals freely to my community.

​

You’ll often find me in conversation with fellow indie authors on my blog, The Author’s Porch, or cheering them on softly from the margins.

​

I am a lifelong creative, a gatherer of stories, and a believer in connection. Over the past year, I’ve been grateful to nurture a community rooted in coziness, care, and vulnerability—whether that means placing books into the hands of readers who need them most, creating accessible spaces for disabled readers, or extending aid to communities beyond the page.

​

May this space feel like a dog-eared favorite, a warm lamp glowing late into the night, a reminder that stories—and the people who love them—are better when shared.
