A letter to FALL OF THRONES AND THORNS on its release day

Posted September 27, 2016 by Jennifer Ellision in blog, Books / 0 Comments

Dear FALL,

Wow.

We made it. We did it. Can you believe it?

…No. Me either.

I said it with your predecessor, RIOT and I’ll say it again: sequels are hard. But I never expected you to be as hard as you were. You were like… like heading off to climb a mountain and discovering that I’d left my equipment at home. It was backtrack after backtrack.

But, eventually, together, we found the proper tools. The proper mindset.

We climbed that mountain.

And today, you can look out over that vista and see the world, waiting to greet you.

I’m going to miss your world. Your characters– Bree, Aleta, Caden, Tregle, Meddie, Liam, Elena…

But man. Am I ever glad that you found your way from your world into mine.

Love always,

Your author

Readers, you can now find Fall of Thrones and Thorns on:

Breathe In release day

Posted December 29, 2015 by Jennifer Ellision in blog, Books, Threats of Sky and Sea / 0 Comments

Hello all!

A blog! Two days in a row! This must be some sort of record for me.

This one will be brief. I’m thrilled to welcome Breathe In to the ranks of published Threats shorts.

Breathe In centers around Lady Corrine, a character you may not remember very much about, to be quite honest. She’s never appeared on page before and has been mentioned only briefly.

She was Bree’s Da’s–Duke Ardin’s– wife.

Breathe In is the closest to a love story that anything I’ve written in the Threats-verse has come and I just love Lady Corrine so much that I can’t believe I only “met” her a few months ago. She’s the sweetest character that I’ve written in ages and I am so glad that I was privileged enough to find her story, even if it hurt me (and my critique partners) to write it.

Breathe In is available for Kindle now.

About Breathe In:

Every winter, the snow glitters like a pretty lie. The winter palace swarms with visiting nobles. And Lady Corrine fights not to lose her breath.

Because whether he means to or not, Duke Ardin steals it away.

Now and Again release day

Posted October 26, 2015 by Jennifer Ellision in blog, Books, new adult / 0 Comments

In 2010, I signed up for NaNoWriMo in an attempt to write my first novel, Now and Again.

It… went.

Basically, I was frustrated with my inability to do the story in my head justice. The plot was (at least, in my mind) sound, but my words were inadequate. Now and Again was trunked until I stumbled across it in the back of my closet around a year ago.

I’d thought often of that first attempt to write a book, usually cringing as I remembered feeling frustrated in front of a computer screen. Regretting that I couldn’t give Em and Cole the ending that they deserved or their introduction to the world.

Maybe it was the distance from the manuscript that I’d been able to gain with time, but I liked the book. Sure, it needed a complete rewrite, and several rounds of edits, but…

I began writing. Again.

…So here we are five years after the first draft. And I’m really, really happy that I took the time to make this into a book that I want to share. That I’m excited to be able to share.

Because not only was it was my first book, but Em, in particular, is special to me. Her fears may be the ones I’ve related to the most so far of any of my characters. ~~(Love ya, Bree, but I have no evil kings to be afraid of.)~~ Now and Again is unlike any of my other published works, but I hope that you enjoy it.

And I’m so glad that Em and Cole finally got their ending.

Now and Again is available now!

A letter to Riot of Storm and Smoke on release day

Posted August 18, 2015 by Jennifer Ellision in blog, Books, Threats of Sky and Sea / 2 Comments

Happy book birthday, Riot of Storm and Smoke! Like your older sibling, Threats of Sky and Sea, I want to write you a letter on this, your release day. Like Threats, there were times I doubted we’d be able to get to this point. In writing you, there were often multiple steps back for every step forward. But unlike with Threats, I always knew where you, Riot, would start and end. It was just all of the stuff in the middle that took me a while to figure out. You were different and, like so many younger siblings, you struggled to define yourself. To stand apart from Threats of Sky and Sea. And boy, did you manage. To illustrate that point, I’ve pulled together a couple of small graphs for a few of these differences: Love you, Riot. Mean it. Your author, Jennifer Ellision Readers, you can now find Riot of […]

Lady Kat’s Story: Sisters of Wind and Flame Release Day

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 […]

A love letter to Threats of Sky and Sea on its release day

Posted May 20, 2014 by Jennifer Ellision in blog, Books, Threats of Sky and Sea / 5 Comments

Dear Threats of Sky and Sea, TOSAS (may I call you TOSAS?), you and I have been through a lot together. Way back from the time when I was consistently getting your name wrong and calling you “Apparent.” (What, oh what, was I thinking?) We’ve been together for years now, ever since that first scene jumped into my head way back in 2011. But I was only flirting with you then, TOSAS. It wouldn’t be until about a year later, in 2012, that I was finally ready to commit to you and only you. To take you seriously. We had our struggles. Sometimes, I just couldn’t understand you. You wanted to go everywhere– you wanted to go nowhere. You were overly dramatic or you fell totally flat. You made no sense! Sometimes, I wanted to break up with you. But […]
