Happy Holidays! ❄️ (And a cover reveal!)
Wishing you all a lovely Yule and Solstice.
Here in the Pacific Northwest, I'm looking forward to those extra seconds of daylight we're going to gain every day. It's been very dark and grey this winter, and that's definitely been a challenge to both my mood and my creative energy. BUT! Thankfully that all changes starting today. This all leads to a very intentionally timed email... I'm really excited to show* you all the cover for Against the Wind, the upcoming second book in the Almost Like Magic series!
Against the Wind takes place during the winter sabbat of Yule, and Stella is in a race against time, and her own self-confidence, to save her beloved home, Eight-Fold Acres, from destruction.
I'm working with two new cover artists for this book, so although it's similar to Bad Company, it's got a slightly different feel to it. I'll be working on my edits in January, and hope to have a pre-order link for you by the end of that month.
Since I'm not editing AtW right now, I've been writing for my Kindle Vella story, Illegitimate Magic, and posted my 30th episode earlier this week. Working on a serialized story has been an interesting exercise, and I'm already planning which previously cast-aside work in progress to use next! (I have lots)
For now, I'm enjoying a bit of a slow down as we slide into the holidays. A few years ago we began celebrating Jolabokaflod—an afternoon of reading, snacking, and drinking warm beverages—on Christmas Eve, and it's become a favorite tradition.
Remember, the best gift to the authors in your life is to buy their books...and the second best gift is a review! Wishing very happy holidays to you all, and thank you for your support during 2022. Here's to a wonderful, book-filled 2023.
Happy reading!
Jill
