Join the
BOOKS AND TEA LEAGUE
Saving the world, one page at a time.
Welcome, Adventurer!
I'm so excited to invite you into a place where readers are heroes and books are the portals we take to thrilling adventures and heart-wrenching dramas in faraway (or not-so-faraway) lands.
Let me give you a teaser, much like the Grandfather at the beginning of The Princess Bride: "Mermaids. Monsters. Sword-fighting. Escapes. Humour. Family. Revenge. Betrayal. Second chances. True love."
"Wait, Talena. Is this a kissing book?"
I mean, probably. 😉
If you, like me, want to experience hope-filled stories (with a splash—or a bucket—of romance mixed in) where we save the world one page at a time like the epic hero readers we are, then you belong here.
There's just time before tea. Let's go have an adventure!

Why join the Books and Tea League?
A caring community. At the league, we're here for each other. Not only that, you won't have an algorithm deciding what you see. Join the conversation, or just hang out and listen. There's plenty of tea for everyone.
Early access to works in progress. As a league member, you'll have exclusive early access to drafts and completed books, and you'll get to react to stories and interact with me and other readers as each chapter is released.
Exclusive behind-the-scenes content. Dive deeper into the creative process. Enjoy sneak peeks, character backstories, digital art, and other bonus content that are only available within the league.
Support what you love. By being a part of the league, you're directly supporting me and my creative endeavours. Your presence reminds me why I keep going, and your paid subscription helps me to keep the tea cupboard well-stocked so I can continue creating the content you love.

Meet your hostess…
My name is Talena Winters, and I create heartfelt fantasy, romance, and adventure stories of sacrifice, redemption, and hope against all odds. I also have a deep and abiding affair with all the hot comfort drinks, not just tea. (But, c’mon, how could I resist the opportunity to say “Join the BATL?” The Books and Coffee League acronym doesn’t have the same ring.)
I write low-sensuality books about difficult topics with all the feels. And I love connecting with readers. If that sounds like your cup of tea, I'd love to have you in my community. I can't wait to enjoy some books and tea with you!
