Bio
Born in the Deep South, Hailey is a lifelong resident of Alabama. Her husband works for the local sheriff’s department and her daughter is counting down the days until she’s old enough to audition for American Idol. Their dachshund, Poochie, helps Hailey write by snoozing on his dog bed in her office.
Her desire to explore without leaving the comforts of home fueled her love of reading and writing. Whenever the itch for adventure strikes, Hailey can be found with her nose glued to her Kindle’s screen or squinting at her monitor as she writes her next happily-ever-after.

Reviews
Rated 4 1/2 Stars by RT Magazine "The author spins an action-packed story of intrigue and betrayal, with an endearing romance at it's heart. I adore a good marriage of convenience tale that ultimately turns into much more - and this one is exceptional."
- Heroes and Heartbreakers "Are you a Game of Thrones addict? Have you started referring to your girlfriends as "wenches" and the husband as "my lord," really pushing for that "your grace" title you so desperately want? Well, Hailey Edwards's Hint of Frost might just be the book you've been looking for."
Judging the Book by its Pages "I have to honestly say this is one of the most unique worlds I have read in quite awhile and I fell in love with every page of it. The world building in this book is phenomenal and I can't wait to read more from this author and this series."
Critique de Book "For a novel with such a chill throughout, the author's lush writing provides an especially warm and welcome counterpoint. I found myself lulled by her rhythmic use of sentences, some long and textured and other short and sparse. Readers who enjoy minimalist writing with few descriptors would do better looking elsewhere for a fantasy fix; Edwards is a devout sensualist."
Night Owl Romance "I loved this story."
Rated 5 Tombstones by Jackie at Bitten by Books
As for the book itself, I can’t begin to tell you how pleased I am with Everlong by Hailey Edwards. It’s a story about forgiveness, breaking out of your shell, and allowing yourself to love someone with all your heart. Madelyn is stubborn, spoiled, but willing to admit when she’s made a mistake. Her growth throughout the book is extensive, transforming her from the naïve princess to a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. Clayton was a complete surprise. He’s the leader of the colony and can insight drooling from any female at fifty paces. Normally, these characteristics go hand in hand with a stereotypical alpha male: controlling, if not loyal, headstrong, and ready to take what he believes is his. Clayton is nothing like that. Yes, he’s loyal and he can be headstrong, but his feelings for Maddie are so intense he’s willing to whatever it takes to make sure she’s happy, even give her up.
I sincerely hope there will be more stories in this world. An uprising is on the horizon, and I picked out a few side characters I’d love to learn more about. It’s rare to find a book with this much emotion and sexual tension without being bombarded by an overload of the actual sexual act. Again, I was surprised. Maddie and Clayton waited until they were both sure before taking their relationship to the next level. That’s just another reason why Everlong receives 5 tombstones. Very well done, Hailey!
