books
can you please write icebreaker 2?
While everyone thinks they want Icebreaker 2… I promise you that you don’t! For me to write another book about Nate and Stassie’s relationship I’d need to split them up. Whilst I personally love that type of duet, it isn’t realistic for these particular characters. They’d work through any struggle without breaking up and it wouldn’t make a very interesting book. I’ll continue to write bonus content for them, and you might see them pop up in some unexpected places in future.
are you going to write a book about *insert relevant side character*?
The honest answer is I don’t know and it depends who it is. There are some characters/couples I know I won’t write books for (usually the ones who aren’t end game or who have stories I don’t think I could do justice) and some I know someday I will.
Inspiration and creativity is a tricky thing to try to manage and I never know which direction I’m going to be dragged in. Going forward, I won’t confirm who the book is about until I’ve written the first draft, as WILDFIRE and DAYDREAM taught me just how much my ideas change when I sit down to write the book.why does it say online that you publish children's books?
I’m not the only author who publishes under the name Hannah Grace, but we’re in no way linked. My books are: ICEBREAKER, WILDFIRE, and DAYDREAM.
how many books in the maple hills series will there be?
I’m not sure yet.
are all the books in the maple hills series going to be about hockey?
If I write more books the answer is no.
The Maple Hills Series has always been a college series, not a hockey series.
Before getting my traditional publishing contract, I initially planned to write seven books. Four of those books didn’t involve hockey players, and two of those four didn’t involve sports at all.
Whilst I love all sports romance books and watching sports (except cricket, soz!), I don’t love reading long sports scenes which is why I don’t write them. There are so many excellent hockey series out there (*cough* Playing For Keeps by Becka Mack) that it feels very silly to put my books in the same category. Especially when there are so many authors who live and breathe hockey and do such an amazing job at writing detailed scenes.
I love the dynamic and friendships of fictional sports teams, which is what inspired the Titans, but the thing that ties my books together is that they’re at the same college. I’ve never ever called it a hockey series and frequently shout about wanting people to recognise it as a college series over on Instagram.do i need to read icebreaker first?
The books follow each other chronologically but I know people who have read them out of order.
I personally think reading them in order is the best experience, but if one book is calling to you more they are technically standalones.what are the content warnings for your books?
You can find the content warnings on the tab for each book on this website.
how can i read the bonus content?
Sign up for my newsletter and receive the password for the bonus tab.
contact
i sent you a dm but didn't get an answer. have you seen it?
Unfortunately, I get more messages than I can keep on top of so looking at all my dms and replying to everyone is impossible. I promise you I haven’t ignored you on purpose! Social media is only a small part of my job as writing takes up a huge part of my day.
where can i see you in person?
I don’t do events or book tours as sharing my identity is not something I plan to do at this time. I know this might be disappointing, but I will always do my best to ensure signed books are available.
i'd like to send you an email. where can i reach you?
Please check out the contact page for all the ways you can contact Team Hannah Grace.
do you have a po box?
I don’t live in the UK anymore so unfortunately I don’t have a PO box. When I work out how the postal service works in my new home I’ll update this.
do you have a private facebook group?
Yes! The link is on the contact page or you can search “Hannah Grace Literary Universe”
business
how can i request a blurb?
Please send your request to my business email on the contact page.
I accept/reject depending on my workload, so please know if I say no it’s never personal. I often can’t guarantee I’ll be able to read the book before the deadline, so I don’t like to accept and not deliver. I’m always honoured to be asked so thank you for trusting me with your book baby.
please note, i won’t consider a book that has a content warning for infertility/baby loss unless the book is by an author I have an existing relationship with (and probably not even then). Please keep this in mind when sending me requests.
do you have an arc team?
I don’t. All advanced copies of my books are handled by my publishers.
All ARC requests sent to myself or Lauren, my assistant, will be ignored due to how many we receive.
how do i sign up to get pr boxes from you?
Like ARCs, PR campaigns such as boxes with proof copies or finished copies for launches are handled by my publishers.
can i make merch for your books?
Please send your proposal to my agent for review. Each request is handled on a case-by-case basis.
do you run your own accounts?
Kinda.
My TikTok is and has always been managed by Ellie from LoveNotesPR. In the unlikely event I log in, comments would be signed off with “- H x” as Ellie signs off with an “E”.
The more my account interacts with content about “Hannah Grace”, the more all content, good or bad, gets pushed onto the FYP. As much as I’d love to be able to see the incredible content I’m tagged in myself, it’s better for me to just stay away from the platform to prevent seeing things I might not want to.
I share my Instagram page with my assistant, Lauren. It’s me 99% of the time, but sometimes it can get a little overwhelming and I need time away, or I have a deadline and I need to delete the app to prevent doomscrolling but still have announcements to post. If I’m offline for whatever reason I update my bio.
Lauren will mention when it’s her if she’s posting a story or responding to something. I often get sent quite personal messages when people relate to the more sensitive topics in my books — I’m the only person who responds to them. Emails sent to the loveletters email address are also only responded to by me.
I don’t use Threads or Twitter, and have a Facebook account I very infrequently use. I do also have a Pinterest but don’t respond to messages on it.
