Thank you, Dear Readers, for supporting two volumes of Hadley’s Romance Book 2024-2025. We had a wonderful run! The Book is currently on hiatus, with no plans for further issues.

By Way of Introduction

   WELCOME to our offering for readers of a romantic inclination, Hadley’s Romance Book. While other serial journals decry the sorts of writing which disrupts the steady beating of the heart and sends the reader’s feelings into a state of such elevated excitement and suspense as to constrict the chest and shorten the breath, this journal is dedicated to the promotion of such engaging stories that stir the mighty passions. 

   Our flagship serial is entitled The Secret Soldier, the two-volume story of a young woman who, escaping an unsatisfactory marriage, dresses as a man to enlist in the Union Army, and her strapping bunkmate who is determined to find out what she’s hiding.

 Our journal ran the first volume of issues January to August, 2024 with A Fine Looking Soldier, then returned June to December, 2025 with the second volume, A Right Honorable Soldier. Both runs featured novelties including riddles, receipts, sewing, knitting, &c.

Both A Fine Looking Soldier and A Right Honorable Soldier are available on eBook and print!

Your obt. srvt,
Mrs. Jane Hadley, Editoress
