Book News!

Champion's Sword releases July 16!

The ebook is up for preorder. Paperbacks can be ordered on the publication date.

Available on Amazon!

It's both exciting and bittersweet to get the conclusion of this story into your hands. I've walked in the world of the Woodland elves for several years now. It feels a little strange to be letting these characters go. But I'm excited to dive into another story and new characters.

In other news, A Desperate Love has finished its journey with my publisher and, for the time being, will be out of print. I have the option to self-publish and am seriously considering doing so.

Stay tuned for details!

Reading . . .

On a whim, I picked up Be More Unicorn by Joanna Gray. I also read Some Like It Scot by Pepper Basham. My feelings about this book? I think Larry the Cucumber summed it up best. "I laughed. I cried. It moved me, Bob." Touching, funny, heartwarming. I highly recommend and can't wait for Pepper's next book, especially if it takes place in Scotland.

"Rise" by Tommee Profitt and Stanaj

Enjoying . . .

The Honeystead! Kaylee is a homesteader, beekeeper, and herbalist. You can find her videos on YouTube. I'm particularly fond of the ones that include her mom and grandma. You can just imagine yourself hanging out with them for the day, learning about herbalism & having a good laugh. 'Don't be afraid,' to check out her channel, 'and learn something old.'

Her new book, The Beekeeper's Apothecary, releases soon, & you know I'll be impatiently waiting to get ahold of a copy!

Life . . .

Guys, I made a nightgown! This is what happens when I get obsessed with a topic. Thanks, Rachel Maksy! It's even made out of old bedsheets.😂I'm really proud of this one. It's white with a blue and pink diamond design. The straps were a little too long, so I used the excess to make cute little bows that sit at the top of my shoulders. Obsessed.

I've been gardening too. It hasn't went as well. Between the hot weather, planting my radishes too close together, and a very determined bunny that made me sympathize with Mr. McGregor, I have plenty of journal entries for my next attempt. So far, the zucchinis are doing great.

Blessings,

Jessica ♡
