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
I had such a great reading year in 2024. Goodreads tells me I read 340 books. My biggest year yet. For 2025 I’m going to try to slow down. I think I’ve been in such a reading mood that it’s drowning out anything else. Why write when I can read? It’s an ongoing joke with my coworkers when they talk about a popular TV show/movie and I’ll tell them I’ll get to it one day or that it’s on my list to watch soon. Spoiler alert: I will never get to it. I had a bit of a health scare this year (one of those situations where thankfully, and very luckily, everything fell into place to prevent a time-bomb in my body from going unnoticed until it was too late. Get those checkups, people!) and it pushed me into trying to find escapism in books (my version of sticking my head in the sand). But this year, I hope to come somewhat out of my reading cave. I’m nearing the end of a completed very rough draft of a new Christmas story. My goal is to have that out by the end of this year. If I can manage more ...
A Christmas to Fight For is now live! This book had a much smoother writing process than A Christmas to Die For. I never intended to write another Christmas book, but this idea hit me like a freight train and I couldn't get it out of my head. I wrote an outline purely because the idea would not leave me alone. It took a strength I didn't know I had to hold off writing it so I could finish a book I was already working on. And as soon as A Christmas to Fight For was written it felt special. I still hated it as I did my re-reads and self-edits. That's normal for me. But I always ended it feeling happy and satisfied. I want to send out a quick thank you to everyone who has already expressed their support for this release. The early reviews have made my heart sing! My Christmas release last year was a surprise to me. I had to fight that book to get written, it was rushed because of all things 2020, and I wasn't sure how I felt about it once I clicked published. But it end...
