It’s cover reveal day for my forthcoming Florida gothic novel!

Carb-loving Vampires & A Bloody Good Time open.substack.com/pub/jessikag...

Also hi hello. If you’re into books and writing and art and dogs and food and not trying to take away my rights, then say hi.

Trying to keep up w all social media is whackamole with my brain. But I wanted to share that my latest book, BloodLily, a spicy vampire romance is releasing 4/15 and preorders are open. Here are a couple early reviews.

I’ve been so very absent here but HI HELLO I HOPE YOU ARE ALL DOING FABULOUS THINGS

If you need me, I’ll be cuddling my dog all day

Dec 6-9 I’m taking part in the Indie Author Winter Wonderland event. All 4 of my ebooks are heavily discounted and the event has loads of other fab authors whose book are free and discounted. Fill your kindle! #books indievisibleevents.com/books

I’m so very tired

I just finished reading The Warm Hands of Ghosts and it was magnificent

Well I published part I of the story on my Substack. If you’re in the mood for a Dec set WWI meets contemporary short story, have a read #reading #books #substack jessikagreweglover.substack.com/p/the-twenty...

I’m thinking of publishing one of my fav short stories (my own) on my Substack, in 3 parts, as a fun December treat. Would anyone read something in that format? #book #reading

In honor of Fiona’s gotcha day I’ve teamed up with SoCal Bulldog Rescue for a raffle to win all 4 of my books. 100% goes to rescue at this busiest time of year. If you like books & dogs, consider entering! #dogs #books

Happy 1st Gotcha Day to this icon! We adopted Fiona from SoCal Bulldog Rescue after foster failing pretty quickly. Love this little weirdo so much! #dog

I’ve had a banger of a migraine since Friday, so I apologize for not catching up with everyone. Hoping it’ll clear soon ✌️

Turkey coma

I’m so ready for breakfast pie

Here’s a random question: what’s everyone’s fav shampoo/cond? I need a new one and would love input

Her paws are so big we call them monster slippers #rescuedog

I don’t like sage. Not my favorite herb.

My paperback is on sale! a.co/d/7NXWqsQ

Thanksgiving may look different this year. Our daughter is away at Uni, my mom is across the country, my soul dog is across the 🌈. But my husband has off, Fiona is coming up to her 1st gotcha day, my grandparents’ 1960s Sears mirror is over my fire, I can FaceTime my mom & daughter. I’m thankful

Good night blue sky.

Cashew (in the style of pecan, but I am allergic to pecans), pumpkin, salted caramel upside down cake. All gluten and dairy free bc we’re a mess in this house #thanksgiving

Pies are fine. And I may have made a salted caramel upside down cake

These were my grandfather’s (my Papap) measuring cups and gravy boat. I still use them even though he passed away in 1996. The dented 1/4 c is my favorite part.

*Whispers* I haven’t seen Wicked (I’ll see myself out)

House is clean. Time to pie. I’m making pumpkin and cashew (like a pecan but sadly I can’t do pecans) What’s your go to pie?

One thing you should know about me is that I can be doing a destroyer of a strength and metcon working to a haunting cello playlist

Out of curiosity, are any #literaryagents still open to queries at the moment?

Good morning to anyone who is also wondering whether to go for a run or rot by the fire having an existential author crisis

The antics involved in bathing my dog shpuod be studied

I have come to a realization. One which many before me have likely come. I need to organize my notes app in folders. #authors

I am going to spend the day painting. My watercolors and pens are calling me and through the morning fog, I must listen

#writers Where are we finding good stock images and video footage these day?

It’s that time of year my dog refuses to go outside because it’s chilly. Not to be confused with the time of year she won’t go outside because it’s raining. #dogs

I don’t know, babes. The world’s a mess. Here’s a bulldog.

Ok friends. Decided today was the day to send a few more queries out into the world for my Florida gothic manuscript. Wish me luck. Or send snacks. Or literary agents. I mean…I need them all #literaryagents #querying #writing

What are my fellow writers working on here?

Question for writers & readers: do you have an opinion on breaking the 4th wall in a book? Yes, obv narration is always technically that, but I mean more so. #writing #books #reading

I’ve spent the better part of an hour searching for a file I tucked away ages ago. Realized I have now 4 full manuscripts ready to go, several lovely short stories, an anthology’s worth of poems, and 2 novels each with roughly 6k words down. I’ll prob go organize my closet now. #writing

Years ago I had a really good community on the bird. Before the first mass X-odus. It declined so much and I’d really love to find more writers, readers, artists, and just cool people to hang with here #writers #books #art #bookcommunity

Anyone else get hungry from one second to the next? Like the bottom just drops out.

I have some suggestions…

So do we share art here as well? #art

Los Angeles book people out here?

Book lovers! These are my book babies. The Another Beast’s Skin series is contemporary fantasy and Stars Like Gasoline is a paranormal romantic thriller erring on Florida gothic.

Should prob give fair warning that there will be a decent amount of this weirdo on here. Meet Fiona, my rescue bulldog.

Hey! I’m Jessika, author of the Another Beast’s Skin fantasy series and Stars Like Gasoline, a contemporary romantic suspense that errs on Florida gothic. Would love to connect with more readers, writers, and artists. Also rescue dog people because dogs.
