Over Raging Tides cover reveal

Posted January 29, 2018 by Jennifer Ellision in Books, cover reveal / 0 Comments

It’s been a looooong time since I’ve shared a cover with you. It’s been even longer since I’ve had a new release. But both of those things are about to change! Last week, over on Young Adult Books Central, I had the Over Raging Tides cover reveal, designed by Jenny of Seedlings Design! I also revealed the novel synopsis and announced a giveaway. Over Raging Tides is Book #1 in the Lady Pirates series. At present, Lady Pirates is a planned duology, but there may be more to come! Over Raging Tides will release March 20, 2018, but you can add it to your Goodreads shelves and pre-order it for your Kindle now The pirate crew of the Lady Luck lives by many rules, but chief among them is this: they do not allow men on board. That’s a rule that quartermaster Grace Porter is willing […]

2018 Goals and looking back on 2017’s goals

Posted January 4, 2018 by Jennifer Ellision in blog / 0 Comments

Happy 2018, loves! At the risk of sounding like a cliche, the beginning of a new year feels like a clean slate. At the very least, it’s an easy way to create a timeline of goals for yourself, with a deadline of the end of the year. Let’s see how I did with my 2017 goals: Run a 10K Success! It was the hardest run I’ve ever done. I felt like I’d collapse. But I finished! Publish 2 novels Yeesh. Not even 1 novel. Not even 1 short. But I did publish the Threats of Sky and Sea boxset! Not so great on this one… Narrate 4 audiobooks Close, but not quite. Still, I’m decently happy with my progress here. I completed narration on 3 audiobooks, 2 of which need to have mastering completed before they will be released, and 1 of […]

It’s here! The Threats of Sky and Sea Boxset

Posted December 21, 2017 by Jennifer Ellision in Uncategorized / 0 Comments

Hello, my loves! I’m thrilled to announce that for the first time on Amazon, you can buy the Threats of Sky and Sea trilogy as a single e-book collection. The Threats of Sky and Sea boxset includes all of the novels: Threats of Sky and Sea, Riot of Storm and Smoke, and Fall of Thrones and Thorns for the bargain price of $9.99– about $2 less than it would cost for you to buy each ebook individually.

And happy days to all. <3, Jen

It is the first day of November and so… NaNoWriMo begins

Posted November 1, 2017 by Jennifer Ellision in blog, Writing / 0 Comments

Happy November, and happy first day of NaNoWriMo to those of you who are participating! I have fond memories of the madness of NaNoWriMo (also known as National Novel Writing Month). I’ve participated many a time, and won a couple of times– one of those times was working on the book that would become my debut novel, Threats of Sky and Sea. Although, in those days, I was still referring to it by its working title, Apparent. I’ve used the energy of NaNoWriMo in the past as a revision month–what I called NaNoReMo. This year, I’m not participating directly, but I do have some lofty goals. Namely, this one: I plan to finish this draft of Over Raging Tides (Lady Pirates #1) before Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. I’m shooting for this draft to be about 50,000 words, so I have approximately 20,000 to […]

Hello, friends! I didn’t want another several months to go by without updating you on life and books and work and such. SO. What have I been up to? Writing Things: Progress on Lady Pirates is slow… but it’s progress nonetheless! I’m doing my best to puzzle out the plot with the aid of a 5-subject notebook, and I’m sharing teasers from said progress over on Instagram: I’ve also been doing a lot of research for this book… on everything from what pirates ate, to their officer rankings, to historical lady pirates like Anne Bonny Book Things: Translations of Threats of Sky and Sea are officially in the works! Look out for a Spanish edition first and an Italian translation after that. Other translations (hopefully!) to come! Audiobook Things: I’m finally wrapping up production in the next couple of weeks on the […]

Remember Me?

Posted June 5, 2017 by Jennifer Ellision in Uncategorized / 0 Comments

Hey there, reader friends! It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? I’ve had to step away from the internet a bit in the past few months. Anxiety and depression are A Thing that I deal with sometimes and, unfortunately, it was exacerbated a bit in the past several months by things like the Twitters and– well, keeping an authorly social media presence in general. Not fun and in ways I missed it, but stepping away for a while was what I needed. I’m feeling pretty okay these days though, so I’ve got a bunch to update you all on! Book Things: -Thanks to all of you, Fall of Thrones and Thorns was voted one of the 50 Best Indie Books of 2016! Not only that, but it was in the Top 20 of those books! Thank you! -The audio edition of Fall of Thrones and […]
