New Series Announcement

Riley Hoffpauir — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I'm excited to officially announce that my next major writing project is now in development.
This new mystery thriller series follows Dr. Naomi Trask, a theoretical physicist who investigates anomalies that challenge everything we think we know about reality. Each novel will tell a complete mystery while revealing pieces of a much larger puzzle.
The series is currently in active development, with extensive planning focused on creating an intelligent, character-driven experience that rewards readers who love suspense, mystery, and unexpected twists.
Target Release: Mid to Late 2027
More updates, behind-the-scenes development, and previews will be shared as the project progresses.
Thank you for joining me on this journey! — Riley

Author Update: Shadow Coming This September

Riley Hoffpauir — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I’m excited to share that Shadow, my newest short story, is currently moving through its final proofreading and sensitivity-reading stages.
This is a quieter, darker story centered on isolation, hidden struggles, relationships, and the things people sometimes fail to notice in those closest to them. I’ve worked carefully to make sure the story remains emotionally honest, respectful, and grounded without giving away where it leads.
Shadow is currently slated for a mid-September 2026 release.
More details, including the official release date and where the story will be available, will be announced as publication gets closer.

New Book

Thank you to everyone who has supported my writing journey so far.

I'm excited to share that my debut thriller, Persuade, is now reaching readers and finding its place on bookshelves. Seeing this project move from an idea to a published novel has been an incredible experience, and I'm grateful for every reader who has taken a chance on it.

At the same time, work continues on my next novel, The Last Keeper. The manuscript is making steady progress, and I'm looking forward to sharing more details as development continues. While there's still work ahead, the story is coming together and continues to evolve with each chapter.

As always, thank you for your support, reviews, messages, and encouragement. Whether you've read Persuade, followed my journey, or simply stopped by the website, I appreciate you being part of this adventure.

More updates coming soon.
