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.”

Redheads, strippers, hairdressers, and girls named Tiffany.
Not guilty.
With her profile pic with the slightly transparent white dress. The ol biddies around here got their knickers in a bit of a twist about that.
I can barely even remember last week.
I really ought to keep a journal of some kind.
I had a date with a romance novelist once. And it was in the back of my mind that given her job, she will always be looking for new adventures and new characters.
She is still on the dating site years later. I guess she is still looking. Of course I’m there too.
Ebooks are books. Welcome to the digital age
And streaming shows is not going to the movies either.
LOL. Well I run the 2nd largest book group on social media about 200,000 users. And only a handful say audiobooks and ebooks aren’t reading real books.
So you’re in the minority.
And yes watching a move at home is watching a movie.
