My new audiobook is out — and I'm in love with it!

Hey there! I'm going to make this short because my parents are visiting, but I've got two pieces of audiobook news I couldn't keep sitting on. First up, Diwa Reyes (who narrated From Earth and Bone) has finished the audio for After the Tide. It's amazing — their voice is just perfect for the story. I'll be adding it to the retailers eventually, but right now the only way to get it is through the Outsiders Kickstarter. It's available as an add-on for only $5. (And if you already backed the Kickstarter, you can adjust your pledge to add the audiobook, easy peasy.) There's one week left to back, and to pick up your copy of After the Tide on audio. Here's the link. Curious? Head here to listen to the sample on YouTube. Nanshe Chronicles books 1-3 on audio! And ebook is still discounted! The $2.99 Nanshe Chronicles boxed set deal is still on! Through Sunday, you can pick up Nanshe Chronicles books 1-3 for only $2.99. AND NOW you can also grab the audiobook! The individual Nanshe Chronicles audiobooks have been out for a while (books 1-3, at least), but they are finally collected in a single set. I know how much you all love J.S. Arquin's narration because you've told me over and over again. So if you've been waiting for the right moment to grab over 21 hours of sci-fi shenanigans read by J.S., go check out the deal. That's all for me. I'd love to hear what you think of the YouTube sample above — I had a lot of fun making that video. Happy reading, (because listening to audiobooks is absolutely reading!), Jessie |

Hey there! I've mentioned that my husband and I are renovating a house right now. It's been quite the project (one might say we bit off more than we could chew), but we're almost done! Which is great, because I'm ready to spend my summer evenings and weekends doing something besides sanding and painting. Oof. The house was built in 1912, and hasn't gotten much love over the century it's been around. As we've torn up floorboards and demolished ceilings and pulled out kitchen cabinets, I've...
Hey there! I've been thinking a lot lately about routine and how much it supports creative workflow. I'm a creature who thrives in habit, but craves novelty—which means I don't work well when I'm scattered, but it's tough to stick to a set schedule. I also tend to work in bursts, pouring my time into one project until I'm exhausted on it, then moving to the next. Which means that when I'm in a period of hyper-focus, other important things don't get done. How do you build a routine that...
Hey there! I'm currently on a research trip for Book 1 of my Danica Burns mystery series, and as I checked into the kinda remote Airbnb and started unpacking, I realized that the two books I was in the middle of reading both shared a theme: They were both thrillers about writers on research trips, staying alone in remote Airbnbs. *facepalm* The first is The Blackhouse by Carole Johnstone,* which is set on the Isle of Harris and Lewis in Scotland. It's about a girl who may or may not be...
