I’ve just wrapped up what I lovingly called my “Grandma Project”—a whirlwind stretch of time with my grandkids visiting. We laughed, played, snacked (a lot), and left trails of chaos throughout the house. Now that they’ve gone home, the house feels a little too quiet and a little too tidy.
Saying goodbye was tough—there were definitely mixed emotions—but my heart is full. These moments remind me how joyfully messy love can be.
📚 New Release: Let’s Get Lost in New Orleans (You’ll Like It)
[Read more or grab your copy »](https://paulinebjones.com/books/lets-get-lost-in-new-orleans/)
Forget everything you learned in school—this isn’t a history book. It’s a shot of bourbon with a powdered sugar chaser. A jazz-soaked, roux-stirred, crime-tinged love letter to the most beautifully chaotic city in America.
Inside these fast, funny pages, you’ll meet pirates-turned-patriots, rockstar-level aristocrats, and matchmaking nuns (yes, really). You’ll shimmy down music-soaked alleys, wade through scandalous swamps, and eat your way through a city that lives to feed your soul.
➤ This isn’t the sanitized version—it’s the soulful, sinful, spicy one.
➤ “A short, sassy guide to the city that never sins small.”
And now for the reveal of my secret project I’ve been teasing the last couple of months!! Tada!

👀 Behind the Scenes
This year marks a special full-circle moment for me—I’m *back* in Pets in Space! After co-running the project with Veronica Scott for five amazing years, we passed the torch to Carol Van Natta. And now, I’ve been invited back for the tenth-anniversary edition!
It’s an absolute joy to return to this collection. Pets in Space has always been a heart project—and I’m thrilled it’s still going strong.
While writing for PISA 10, I found myself pulled into the orbit of a brand-new character: OmnitronW, though you can call him Tim. He’s not in the PISA story itself, but his book picks up in the same universe and continues the adventure in my Cyborg Chronicles series. He’s loyal, sharp, and just a little surprising—and I can’t wait to introduce you.
📖 What I’m Reading (or Listening To)
Lately, I’ve been spending time in Middle-earth—yep, I’ve been listening to The Lord of the Rings, and it’s been magical all over again. There’s something about hearing Tolkien’s words aloud that brings out the music in the language and the depth in the world-building.
Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, I highly recommend diving back into this epic adventure. It’s a masterclass in storytelling—and sometimes, it’s just nice to walk with hobbits for a while.
