No More Tomorrows began as a collaboration. It ended with a friendship I’ll treasure always.

I am, undoubtedly, a little bit of a control freak. So, when a fellow author approached me about writing a book together, I’ll admit I hesitated. Writing is such a personal process, and the idea of sharing that space with someone else felt daunting. But ultimately, saying yes turned out to be one of the most empowering decisions I’ve made.

My co-author, Hal, and I never actually met in person – something that still feels strange when I think about how much our friendship came to mean to me. I’m in the UK and he was in the US, so our entire collaboration existed across time zones and screens. We sent chapters back and forth, sometimes worked together in Google Docs, and slowly, piece by piece, the story came together.

Of course, sharing a creative project meant sharing decisions too. Sometimes we’d bicker over the smallest things – a line of dialogue, a character choice, a moment in a scene that one of us imagined differently from the other. They were the kinds of decisions we would normally make instinctively when writing alone, but now they had to be discussed, debated, and occasionally defended.

When the first draft was finished, we took turns editing. I’d open the document and find Hal had changed a line of my dialogue. Then he’d open it later and see that I’d quietly altered something he’d written. It became a bit of a back-and-forth dance – two writers nudging the story into shape from opposite sides of the Atlantic.

Looking back, though, my biggest takeaway from writing with a co-author has very little to do with process or craft.

I found a true friend. Something far more valuable than I ever expected.

Over the months we spent building this book together, Hal and I developed a deep friendship. There’s something about creating characters and stories side by side that forms a bond people outside that process don’t always fully understand. You share ideas, frustrations, victories, and moments of excitement when a scene finally clicks into place. By the end of it, those fictional lives feel intertwined with your own.

We were both incredibly excited to see the book finished and eventually placed into the hands of readers.

Sadly, Hal passed away in December 2025, just four months before publication.

It makes the book feel bittersweet to me now. His words live on in Harry and throughout the pages we created together, and in that way he’s forever part of the story.

But I miss my friend.

There’s also a part of me that will probably always feel that I let him down by the book not being ready sooner. I wish he could have held the finished copy in his hands.

If you do pick up the book, I’d urge you to take a moment at the end to read the tributes to Hal. Spare a thought for the wonderful man and talented author behind half the words in these pages.

This book exists because of him.

And I will always be grateful that a writing partnership turned into a friendship I’ll never forget.

Book blurb:

Two eras. One aching heart.

1917 – At Cambridge University, American scholar Harry Turchin never expects to lose himself to desire. But Annie Mackenzie—soft-spoken, grieving, and luminous—claims his heart from their very first kiss. Their love is swift, fierce, and intoxicating. Married just days before Harry is sent to war, their passion is ripped apart when the trenches claim everything he knows, and Harry is thrown into a future that should not exist.

1967 – The free-spirited sixties are alive with rhythm, rebellion, and possibility. Harry awakens to a world he doesn’t recognise—and to Annalise Taylor, as bold and captivating as the era itself. Brilliant, independent, and achingly alive, she rouses a desire he thought belonged solely to the past.

Caught between the love he was ripped away from and the passion he cannot resist, Harry is torn between two women, two lives, and two versions of forever. Because time will not bend twice … Or will it?

Sweeping from the blood-soaked battlefields of World War One to the fevered nights of the swinging sixties, No More Tomorrows is a sensual time-slip romance about desire, devotion, and the devastating power of love that refuses to be bound by time.
