Shout out to Basecamp Books and Adventure in Colorado Springs for carrying Shattered Jewels. If you're near the Springs and like cozy stores that carry both new and used books, stop by and load up!

Had a lot of new followers lately, so I'll do an introduction post.
Grew up in Michigan, Army straight from HS, combat medic during Desert Storm (in Germany). Moved to San Diego for undergrad at USD, grad school at Chapman. Been writing for 30+ years, both traditional and indie.

Hi, Bsky friends! Like so many other federal workers, my family is impacted by the ongoing Furlough. Please keep us in your prayers. If you you're financially capable and would like to help, each book purchase or KU read of my novels make a difference. My Amazon store: www.amazon.com/stores/Jessi...

Both propositions to feed children here in Colorado passed. Because we're not fucking monsters.

Proud of my state today.

In case you're wondering if that book review offer or marketing pitch or friendly message from a well-known author are genuine (the short version: probably not)...my collection of blog posts on the new Nigerian marketing scams will help you decide writerbeware.blog/tag/nigeria/

Do you like spooky stories?

How about some with not-so-nice aliens? Zombies? Shape shifters? Love, death and revenge?

Then I have the book for you!

The Rajani Chronicles trilogy is on sale everywhere. Now is a great time to read the series before the first book of the Rajani War series is released in December!

My youngest son is going to a trunk or treat tonight as the Winter Soldier. Costume is not quite there yet but good enough for tonight.

Nazi tattoos are bad and so are the people who get them, mkay?

People who defend them get blocked.
