October Update

And we’re already into November! This year is just zooming by. I had a slightly more successful month for my writing. I managed to finish the first draft of the second book in my new sci-fi series. I like to have the entire story finished in at least draft form before I begin the process of covers for any or worrying about getting my editors on board. I have never, and don’t think I will ever, release a series without having it complete first. I have a horrible fear of starting something I can’t finish and letting people down. So I am now halfway through that series in terms of first drafts. Unfortunately there will be many more drafts to come.


I also managed some great reading this month. A friend is obsessed with Kresley Cole and I mentioned I hadn’t read anything by her. So I was then given every Cole paperback in one hit. So that was overwhelming, but I am absolutely in love with the IAD series. This world she has created is amazing. Anyway, here are some books I loved this month:

My Commander - Alanea Alder (Paranormal and also hilarious!)


Amazon US

Date With Death - Eve Langlais (Paranormal Romance)



Amazon US

No Rest For The Wicked – Kresley Cole (Paranormal Romance)


Amazon US

Dark Needs at Night’s Edge – Kresley Cole


Amazon US

Hope everyone had a great October! Fingers crossed my momentum for writing continues for November!

 Hey all!  Just a quick message to let you know that my facebook page is likely disappearing. Apparently my account isn't one they're going to keep running...? I don't really understand it. However, since I usually only get about 20 people who see any posts I make (out of the 1.7K who have liked my page) I don't really see the point in fighting it. It just means that any updates I have in the future will come through here, Instagram, and Goodreads.  Happy reading!  Jessica x

Thank You For Your Support!

Hey all! So, I had some grand plans to put up a post to speak about the final book in the In Midsummer series being released. I was going to speak about the series and send out my gratitude to all the readers who embraced these characters and this fictional town. It’s been my most successful series to date. But looking back I realized I never did. I didn’t even post about Loving Love releasing. I think this is what happens when I release so close together. I get burnt out! Four books in four months, and overall, eight books in ten-ish months were a huge undertaking for me. And they were all actually finished last year, so this year I’ve been on a bit of a writing hiatus. (I have still been writing, just not on any kind of schedule. Only when I feel like it. More info on that under the Coming Soon tab!)  So while I missed the boat on posting for Loving Love, I can still send out my gratitude to the readers who gave it a shot. I am so lucky that so many readers/bloggers embraced the In M

Audiobook Club

  Being a police officer in a small town doesn’t often offer up many surprises. Working the night shift means I rarely see or do much of anything that doesn’t involve a speeding vehicle, or a drunken rant. And, while quiet nights are better than deadly ones, it still takes some getting used to after living in a big city for years. So, I’m rather shocked when I pull over a driver and find the dirtiest audiobook playing from the car speakers. And, paint me intrigued when the hot driver struggles to get the enticing words to stop broadcasting to the entire street. The embarrassing encounter has us both lowering our guard, and I find myself a new friend, one who suggests we start our own audiobook club. Soon, we become more than just friends as we listen and fall into stories and new worlds together and, naturally, the sexy scenes we’re listening to become a blueprint for our own experiences to try … together. But, when life intrudes and our audiobook club breaks up, I’m left wondering if
