I was going to make a fancy announcement and a big reveal about everything happening but I am once again in the trenches and slightly desperate.

So. Name change first—my pen name moving forward is Tierney Rose. No more Michaela Grey/Gray at all, this is a complete rebrand.

Next, I’m offering signed, limited edition copies of all my hockey books for the next month, in both hardback and softcover. You can purchase them here

I am also offering preorders for the book I’m publishing 10/14 on this site, for signed copies. Digital versions will be available on Amazon when the time comes, this is for actual hard copies.

Please share this to spread the word!

Firstly, sorry to see that your team got knocked out of the playoffs, congrats on the overall season!

OMG my manager is a lovely human being, there's a reason why she's everyone's second mom <3. They were probably 15 feet away from my phone, but they're LOUD. (I also had the it on speaker bc I was using both hands to try to fix the door)

They've also seen me trying to do my organic chemistry homework in-store and say that I'm doing "smart people shit." Sometimes I'm shocked that they can read/hj

God, they’re all so endearingly stupid. I’M ENDEARED!!

I just saw the match ups (at least I think they are final) for 1st round Stanley Cup and the 2 teams I dislike the most are matched up. So no matter what, I won’t have to deal with at least one of those teams. lol

Whoever loses, you win! 😃

Got mad at the guy last night and made this

It’s now my wallpaper to remind me to stop wasting time on emotionally unavailable men

Can someone check Goalie Tandem on Amazon and see if it’s still showing as unavailable on Kindle Unlimited? It says it’s available on my end

EDIT: okay, it seems to be showing for north American readers. Can anyone in Canada and Australia check for me?

I think it's an issue in the app, y'all! Try going to the link in an actual browser and not on the Amazon app and it should work for you!

is there a set order to read your novels in, or are they all stand alones?

(and also, I know it’s not major, but will the cover of powerplay on Amazon change to match the rest of them? it’s still showing as the old cover for me)

I'll have to check on the Powerplay cover, it should be the same as the others! The recommended reading order is listed on each book's page so you can decide which to read first :)

WHL store employee back :)

I'm not comfortable saying which team I for work (I'm still technically under contract until May), but I'll say that we didn't make the playoffs this year in the eastern conference. It was rough season and I'm glad its over.

Thankfully they didn't help, I've seen them with the skate sharpener and mitre saw for their sticks, and none of them should be anywhere near a power tool. They mentioned that they saw the key in the door, and one pulled at the key to try getting it out, but nothing beyond that.

I call the store manager mom (and apparently a good portion of the players too) and start with "mom I fucked up" and was obviously a good source of entertainment for them, they were saying "hi mom" through the phone and she knew the voices (we all love her <3). They're all good kids (I say this as I'm maybe 3 years older than them haha), but they're idiots (endearing).

Since the last message, my work mom has also broken the door.

Also best of luck to your team in playoffs!

Your manager sounds amazing! Recognizing them by their voices? That’s impressive as hell. Also your boys sound so endearing and dumb, I’m delighted by the mental image of them crowding around to hijack the call, what idiots /affectionate

And thank you! We won our first game tonight 8-6 with a crazy comeback after being down 4-1. Our goalie’s been out a long time and I think he needed to knock some rust off, so fingers crossed we get another win tomorrow!

I was assigned to wrangle the players at the last minute today while they called season ticket holders, which meant printing out scripts and lists of patrons for 26 idiot boys and walking said idiot boys through how to block their numbers and make notes on how each call goes

Some notable moments:

- a player bribed his teammate to make his calls for him and dipped while I was helping our non-English speakers get settled (I will have my revenge)

- I I called the first player, Young, and the entire team started chanting, “YOUNGER YOUNGER YOUNGER” at the top of their lungs until I busted out the mom voice and told them to knock it off (happy to report I’ve still got it)

- a player didn’t block his number and called a dozen patrons who now have his number and somehow wasn’t at all concerned about it

- my Latvian player had TWO different people hang up on him while he was talking and after the first one, he said, baffled, “he hunged up on me” and after the second, he just looked at me all sad, so I promised to fight them for him

- I gathered everyone in the hall to explain what to do and noticed a few guys with their shirts over their noses, giggling. I thought they were laughing at a private joke until the smell hit me. I broke off mid-sentence and said “oh my GOD” and the entire team just lost it 😭

- my bb goalie refuses to tell me who the criminal was

I FORGOT ONE!

The captain brought his sheet back and he’d written “alarm blaring” next to one number. He said, “I dont even know how to describe it except it was REALLY LOUD and hurt my ear. Look, I’ll show you.”

It was a fax line 💀

I said that and he blinked and said, “I don’t know what that is”

I also work at a WHL team (not on the hockey ops side, more on the business/retail side). I can confirm that they're all a bunch of goofy goobers. It's like herding cats.

I was working in store last November and got my keys stuck in the door and I'd been trying to get the keys out for the past 45 minutes. I give up and I decide to call the manager to let her know what's going on.

As soon as my manager picks up, a group of players walk in as I'm explaining that I managed to get the key stuck. They all burst out laughing and I'm mortified. We joke around until they the coach phones them to leave, or the bus is going to leave without them.

Thankfully the door was fixed, but oh boy, it was mortifying at the moment.

Did they at least offer to help or was it more entertaining for them to just laugh at you? Idiot boys, I swear

Also, I’m so curious about the team you work for!!

Yall, I don’t know why Amazon isn’t listing Goalie Tandem in kindle unlimited, because I set it to be available there and it’s not. Which means I’m gonna have to call Amazon and that requires time I don’t have yet

Playoffs are starting this weekend, but after the first two games, I’m hoping to be able to take a breather and figure out why Tandem isn’t available internationally or on KU. I’m sorry!! 😭
