Finally made myself contact booksellers and bloggers for my upcoming release 🙈 Let's see what the response is.

Oh, and if anyone wants to be an ARC reader, let me know forms.gle/VGPRug6f1TPz... (no FB account necessary, just makes things easier)

Happy #TeaserTuesday! There's only 5 weeks until WWW Weather? 😁 Here's one of my favourite sentences of the book.

“Earth magic steadies air mages. Earth magic in an air witch is like binding a stone around a bird’s neck. It’s cruel.”

You can pre-order the book here: books2read.com/wyldwitch1

😱 Guys, it's done!

A few incoherent thoughts:
- biggest book of the series (only barely, though)
- there's an epilogue
- I cried
- several times
- but I also pumped my fist in the air and led a revolution... or well, let Alix lead one. 😁

Ended up hilariously matching with Elijah Wood at Armageddon Auckland (best sales ever, btw). 😁

It's done! I've plotted the heck out of the second part of Ghosts of the Revolution. Finale, here we come!
How I know it's the finale? Just look at this not-even-complete cast list for chapter 36. 🤪

Hey, I'm Janna and I write Urban Fantasy at the end of the world (aka NZ) and I'm currently torn in two by writing the final book in my Parisian Ghosts series and marketing the first one in my upcoming YA series: Wyld Lands Academy (🤫 99c in my store janna-ruth.myshopify.com/products/wyl...)

#TuesdayTeaser for you!

Making the world better won’t happen in a day. Every change in history was part of a longer process. That’s why you never really know when you live through a historic event until you also lived through the consequences.

It's going to be for a free reader magnet, a prequel to my new YA Urban Fantasy series "Wyld Lands Academy". And yes, there will be weather magic 😁

#TueTeaser One of my favourite little scenes of book 8 is this little Petite Alix/Alexandre Dumas nugget.

There, I also find Petite Alix on Alexandre Dumas’ knees, listening to what sounds like a story about hedgehog musketeers—the Malou crossover we all needed.
