What I’m doing now
A new cover for It Starts with a Kiss
The time is nigh to revisit the cover for this book. While things didn’t pan out with the designer I hired for the job, they gave me some compelling artwork and ideas for composition that I could take with me when we parted ways.
I didn’t expect to be dusting off my designer hat again, but here we are and I kind of don’t hate it. I’ve been writing dilligently for the past six weeks, not realising my brain was craving some visual outlet. Embroidery and watercolour painting for pleasure is great and all, but there’s a special zing that comes with doing your creative work for a specific purpose. It’s nice. I don’t want to run it into the ground and burn out again, but I guess I do love it.
The Only Question That Matters
A re-release of “Question” is back out in the world with a brand new cover that doesn’t look too new because I loved what the previous designer did with the original artwork. If you’d like to get your hands on a copy, you can find it in my shop, on Kobo Plus, or through your local public library ebook collection in conjunction with Hoopla, Libby and OverDrive 💞

Now at 73% of the series. My current draft has gone in all sorts of places the outline did not foresee. There appears to be some sapiosexual action going on that I rather fancy and hope the final version gets to keep 🧠
Eagerly awaiting White Lotus and Severance
I miss having a TV show to be enamoured with. And I miss that TV show being one my friends are also all enamoured with, and we all rush home after work so we can watch it the night it comes out and then gossip about it the following day. But I do not miss the drip-feed itself, as I prefer to watch everything at once, then contemplate it like at the end of a novel.
And now that the friends who I would have done that with are all scattered across the globe, it’s not the same anyway. We smash whole seasons, then dissect them after, separately, in brief snippets of chat scattered over weeks and months and sometimes years across time zones. That’s nice too.

Things are still happening on this, though not at the moment.
Who am I? 👩🏻💻
G’day, I’m JL. I write love letters to the future, most often in the form of romantic science fiction and fantasy novels, novellas and short stories. From here, you can check out my books and stories and keep up with my work via Dot Club (my slow, low-noise email newsletter).
