What’s In A Name? How the Name Affects Your Characters

28 September 2012 by Jessica Leave a Comment

One of the first things, and in my opinion, the funnest, you get to do when you start a new story is pick names for your characters. They can be goofy names or poetic names or boring names, depending on who the character is and what their personality is like. A lot of my characters […]

17 September 2012 by Jessica Leave a Comment

My new book, a fantasy/mystery novella, is coming out September 4, 2012! Originally, I had titled it Descendant, but after some further research, I realized that there were about 3 or 4 pages of search results with a similar title and I didn’t want my book to be hidden among all the others.

*UPDATE: Upcoming Release: Descendant

6 August 2012 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Because of my inability to leave it alone, I am way ahead of schedule on the new book. A 21st Century Fairy Tale (previously titled Descendant), my new fantasy novella (it’ll be about 120 pages or so, so I figure that’s about novella length), will be coming out soon.
