Posted June 30, 2014 by Jennifer Ellision in Author business, blog, Books, Threats of Sky and Sea / 0 Comments

Happy Release Day, Lady Kat! While writing/revising Threats of Sky and Sea, I took a step back to try to get inside Lady Kat’s head. I imagined I’d sketch out a brief scene, but once I began writing it, it was clear that Lady Kat had more to say. (I should not have been surprised.) That quickly turned into a short story titled Sisters of Wind and Flame and I’m so excited that, as of today, you guys can see Kat develop into the antagonist we meet in TOSAS. I had so much fun writing Sisters of Wind and Flame and getting Kat, expanding on a couple of other characters that you’ve met before, adding a few others that you haven’t… and I’m very pleased to say that (for less that the price of… well, many things) Sisters of Wind and Flame can be yours […]

Hey, hey, hey! So, you may not be aware of this, but I have a newsletter! You can sign up for it here. I set it up a while ago, but have been hemming and hawwing over WHAT to do with it! I didn’t want it to be a bunch of redundant content from my blog, plus I know that many of you already subscribe to the blog via e-mail. I think I’ve finally decided on a system! 1. Timing- New releases I definitely don’t want to spam people’s inboxes, so my newsletter will be sent out whenever I have a new release. 2.
