Has mental issues, my guess is she ran into some guy. Best case she is shacked up somewhere. Worst case she is buried in the forest.

A romance novelist who once trademarked the word “cocky” was arrested after leading police on a high-speed chase through a Wyoming national park — but has been missing ever since her release from jail.
Faleena Hopkins, 52, was arrested Jan. 27 after leading cops on a 24-mile pursuit through Grand Teton National Park that only ended when officers used spike strips to deflate her tires.
While Hopkins is best known for her raunchy “Cocker brother” romance series that spans 22 titles, she also made national headlines in 2018 when she registered for and received a trademark on the word “cocky.”
The trademark spurred “Cockygate”...where Hopkins started to take action against other authors who wanted to use the word “cocky” in romance novel titles, which caused a huge upheaval in the romance novel industry and caused Hopkins to eventually surrender the trademark registration.
Hopkins’ missing-person profile said she was last seen in Jackson on Jan. 30, the same day she was released from Teton County jail.
“She is a white female, approximately 5’7”, 135 pounds, with green eyes and blond hair,” the DCI’s profile said. “Faleena has an infinity symbol on her left wrist, ‘Follow All Instincts’ on her right wrist, a lion face on her left shoulder and a hummingbird on her right ankle.”

After all I sell books.
So I looked her up.
E-books not real books.
I knew someone who had a tenant who was a romance novelist. They make bank. She made a lot of money. She never went to college. But I think it was the 7th book she wrote that finally got published.
A green-eyed blonde ... is she classy?
She seems to rate high on the Hot-crazy matrix.
E-books are real books, this tech allows more authors to get their books out.
My speculation:
She sounds kooky. Like a fictional character often troubled by her ‘inner demons’. When she’s not getting enough...attention, she tends to create unnecessary drama in her real life, drama usually unvolving men she ever met before.
It’s like an adult version of playing ‘Tag, You’re It!’
Egon Spangler - “print is dead”.
It is vanity publishing without even the gate of needing to come up with a couple thousand dollars.
E-book only authors are not real authors. I am sorry if that hurts your feeling.
Those tattoos will come in handy when they find her partially buried, dried up skin-sack of bones in the woods two years from now.
Has mental issues, my guess is she ran into some guy. Best case she is shacked up somewhere. Worst case she is buried in the forest.
It sound like it will be a dead body recovery if a body is ever discovered.
Green eyed lady ocean lady
Child of nature, friend of man
Might want to check the color of the carpet...to confirm. (She's quite attractive. Hope she's OK.)
Hard to bury a body here in the area right now. Frost level in the ground is probably 4’ deep or better. Buried in the snow maybe. She may be living out her fantasies with a sugar daddy or on the lam headed south to warmer climates or under the ice along the Snake River somewhere.
Besides, an e-book “store” will never have the smell of an actual bookstore. Especially an “old book” store. I can imagine the smell right know!
You have heard of photoshop? What we used to call air brushing back in the day.
And, more importantly, to make more money.
I just wish more e-book writers would use an editor.
After reading the article, I realized why I don’t care.
