Song I am currently in love with:
Please Take Me, by Beth Crowley
I only recently discovered Beth. She writes music based off of books. Wwhhaaaatt???
It's a no-brainer, people.



Thing I've been doing a lot of this week:
Attending soccer games. This is the last year the hubs has a kid doing a school sport, which is weird since we've had soccer games the entire time we've been married.

Therefore, I've also been sweating a lot. It's hot here in the Hoosier state!



What I'm reading:
I am re-reading Sky in the Deep. Aside from the fact that the library is closed, I really, really, love it. I've watched the book trailer so many times I practically have it memorized. I won't admit to how many times that is!

⚓❤⚔

And now . . .

A sneak peak/quote!

This may be the last one before it releases. I haven't decided yet. Enjoy!


Olivia drew her sword and whipped around to face him. Amusement danced in his eyes. She was getting the sneaking suspicion this was only a game for him.
"Let me assure you that as good as I am at dice, my sword skills are much better."


All amusement left his features at the knowledge that she was not playing. Stupidly, he approached her.
"Bad things happen to pretty girls who run around seaports with jewels in their pockets."



Have a good week everyone!

Don't forget, A Desperate Love comes out on September 18. That's less than two weeks!

Love, J 💙

Spring is Here!🌷

 Happy spring, friends!🌞🌱 We've had a lot of rain here in the Hoosier state. It's getting warmer, and things are greening up. I can't wait for sunny days when I can go for walks and start working on my garden. This year, I'm planning to try my hand at container gardening. My garden plot is pretty small to start with. I like things that are straightforward and practical. So, this seems like it might be a good fit. And less weeding! Which is good, because I'm continuing to work through final tweaks for Champion's Sword . I should be done by the end of April. Then I'll move on to formatting, followed by one final read to check for commas and such. I'm looking forward to refilling my creative well and returning to drafting after so long in editing land.😉 Reading . . . This month, I re-read Spells for Forgetting  by Adrienne Young. And I finally got my hands on Ignite  by Kara Swanson. If you've read Champion's Key , you'll understand why this ...

My Book, Vikings, and Fall

Obviously, the first thing I'm going to mention in this week's blog is the fact that A Desperate Love  has officially released! Yay!😁 For those of you who live here, I am doing a giveaway at the Flora Library. Why not swing by and enter (Rules prohibit family from entering. Sorry!)? Grab a free key chain while you're at it (I made them myself, so supplies are limited.) 🕮 One of my sister's posted this picture of her copy of my book. Isn't it great? Speaking of sisters, another sister (I have a lot of them💙💚💛💜) text me her opinion/personal review of my book. "AWESOME! I loved it! It was well written, intriguing, suspenseful, and had Christian principles without being cheesy!" --H. Maybe she's partial, but it made me feel so loved. 💙 🕮 Thing I am watching this week: The History Channel's Vikings . I am 2/3 of the way through Season 1. I wasn't sure at first, but...

Visuals 2

I have been so busy this week, friends. How about you? I'm also super excited about "A Desperate Love" coming out! As we get closer to the release, I've been thinking about how crazy this journey has been. Did you know that I originally wrote the entire thing out with pencil and paper? The Entire Thing! Who does that? Me, apparently! Most recently I've been doing my editing amid construction noise.  This process has included, but has not been limited to, writing in my dining room within reach of a basketball hoop, saving money for a year to buy my Chrome Book, learning how to market myself online, typing for hours , going into work on my days off to type . . . etc., etc. Honestly, it is a story in itself! And now, I present to you, more pictures from my Desperate Love Pinterest board. These are a few of the pictures I used to inspire me and to keep me focused on what I had in mind. How I envision Lady Olivia. How I envi...
