Stacey Jay

Stacey Jay is Crawling out of her Grave.

Hello darlings!
Remember me?

I chased an acting career until Hollywood's shine wore off and I became a traditionally published author with books translated into 8 languages. Then, the internet scared me offline for a 2015 Kickstarter experiment. 🎭

Spoiler: They were still figuring out how to allow a woman to crowdfund without ripping her skin off. I’ve since learned a lot—mostly how not to care what the internet thinks.

The best news? I got the rights back TO ALL MY BOOKS. I am so excited, and honestly, a little overwhelmed. But this is why we take things piece by piece.

Coming Spring 2026

Princess of Thorns:
Author’s Cut

Aurora and Niklaas are back, and their story has gotten longer, hotter, and even more epic. Now that the YA gloves are off, the adventure spans several books with more fire and way better kissing scenes. It’s fantasy for grown-ups who still love fairy tales.

"Sometimes you must fight for happily-ever-after."
This time, I’m fighting without pulling any punches.

Girl of the Night Garden Cover

Loved Stacey Jay's YA books? Don't worry! I still have teen-focused stories like GIRL OF THE NIGHT GARDEN (written as Logan Riley while I was still underground). 🌙

Listen to this lyrical nugget with all the yearning. Narrated by the incredible Joe Jameson and myself (narrating as Emma Ashton—because yes, I collect names like tattoos).

Available directly on this shop very soon!
