JessLeave a comment

https://youtu.be/uL6m2G-5VDQ?si=DyopNBNtFCSAfKIy Thank you to the awesome Sam Thompson at Raven's Keep Forge for a lovely author interview. I love that he's putting together a playlist of Pagan cancer support: it's so needed! I'll have a couple book reviews in the next week as well, but things have been a little wild with the end of… Continue reading First Interview and Minor Updates

Defying Shadows is OUT TODAY

JessLeave a comment

Five years ago I was in the middle of a five month course of chemo for breast cancer and couldn't imagine what my next day would be like, much less what kind of life I'd have post-cancer (or, if I'd BE post-cancer). Today, the book I wrote about how I got through my cancer journey,… Continue reading Defying Shadows is OUT TODAY

If you finished “and the number shall be three” we are already friends. If not, we’re still already friends but go watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. In THREE SHORT DAYS days my book, Defying Shadows, will be released into the wild!! I can’t wait to hear what you think!

I'm writing this at the cabin (yay) with a raging headache caused by my own stubborn experimentation* (ugh). Please forgive the general erratic-ness and worse than usual grammar. There is neither rhyme nor reason to anything in this post: it's full of random mess. I'm not sure how summer is half over already, but here… Continue reading Snippets

I have a cover!! I love it. I can't wait to do a big cover reveal whenever I'm allowed. I also got to see a draft of the forward, written by an author I had at the top of my "if only" wish list when asked for anyone I'd prefer the publisher ask first. The… Continue reading Book News

Vacation Log: Sunburn Date March somethingth?

JessLeave a comment

Balcony view of the Atlantic Yes I brought my laptop to Cocoa Beach. No, I didn't bring it out ON the beach (good Goddess, no way) like the dude I saw yesterday. He seemed to think his little dome tent and door flap (not euphemisms) would save his laptop as he sat there all day… Continue reading Vacation Log: Sunburn Date March somethingth?

It’s Away!

Jess1 Comment

Four weeks ago, I submitted my manuscript to the publisher (a day early, which I was rather proud of, being a general procrastinator). Two weeks ago, they responded after the team had gone through as a "first pass" with suggested notes. Add a few things here and there, maybe combine a couple chapters, title suggestions:… Continue reading It’s Away!

Not a Master Task Juggler

Happy Valentine's Day to me, from SK. Contrary to rumors started by my new reading glasses stand, I am still here. I started the new job this week on Wednesday, which turned out to be a massively positive move. I was stressed about the change (because even good change is stressful and requires rejiggering of… Continue reading Not a Master Task Juggler

Even Good Change…

Jess2 Comments

January became slightly more chaotic than I'd anticipated. At this moment I feel like I'm in the tail-end of an avalanche flinging me toward the future. My manuscript's due date for Crossed Crow Books was February 1st. I edited, revised, and added five thousand words over the course of January and turned it in on… Continue reading Even Good Change…

I may be slightly frozen, but still here. Just editing. For once in my life I'm on track with the plan I plotted out in the upside-down time during the holidays: the book is editing along merrily, even with the extra notes I come up with at 4am and need to remember to add today.… Continue reading Ok, Who Pissed off Elsa?
