Month: July 2019

Dear readers,

we did it.

Yesterday, the authors of the Souls and Shadows collection hit the USA TODAY’s Best-Selling Books list. We made it to number 128, neatly snuggled between Ryan T. Higgins and E. L. James, and we are in the company of famous authors like Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, Angie Thomas or S.E. Hinton.

It’s unbelievable.

And it is you, you amazing, supporting readers who made it possible for my dream to come true. I have written Lost Moon, but you showed you kindness and love throughout the whole process. Even more, when it seemed that all was lost. This never-ending support means more to me than I can put into words right now.

Last week, I said that I felt like a character in one of my own novel, with all the ups and heartbreaking downs. Since yesterday, I’m more like a character in a John Irving novel where all kind of crazy things can happen. Only an hour before I heard the good news, I was shopping and an old man fell into my arms—literally. I had to call the ambulance, give him a kind of primary medical care. I held him and talked to him while we waited for the ambulance.

This moment grounded me.

There is so much in our lives we can be grateful for, small things and big things alike. If we had not made it to the list, I’d have been sad beyond words, but the world would not have ended. More importantly, this incident showed me that no kindness goes ever unnoticed.

Your kindness didn’t, either. I will write the best stories for you I can think of.

Lots of love and hugs for every single one of you.

Jenny

PS: The old man is fine. I called the hospital this morning and was told that he is currently having some check-ups, but not in mortal danger as I presumed.

Souls and Shadows is finally live!

For those who were waiting to order, you can get it now!

We were so close to hitting our sale targets to qualify for the USA Today bestseller list when the retailer sent the wrong file out on launch day and then blocked the book for 3 days. This three days lasting glitch left me feeling slightly undead, but I hope it’s finally fixed now and everyone can start reading. I had the hardest release week ever, and not only because of said glitch. My dog Trudy decided twice she’s old enough now to explore the world on her own.

Twenty minutes with your dog out of sight can be very, very long. When I caught her, she was not in the mood at all to walk home and stopped every other minute, sitting down on her cute ass, looking everywhere but in my direction.

If I was not sure I am a human being, I’d suspect I was a character in one of my own novels with all the excitement coming along with the release of Souls and Shadows, including my title Lost Moon.

If you haven’t heard about the box set, Souls and Shadows is a LIMITED EDITION paranormal romance and urban fantasy collection with 20+ novels written by some of today’s hottest best-selling and rising authors.

In the midst of darkened shadows, love abounds, secrets will be revealed, and souls will be set free. Escape to new worlds with dark and striking creatures and follow beautiful beasts, cunning witches, shadowy necromancers and many more as they fall in love and brave the night.

The 10 Days of Shadows is underway!

One of my fellow writers in the set Souls and Shadows, Stefan Lear, shared a very personal story with me recently. It touched my heart, broke it into a thousand pieces and at the same time put it together again.

He was kind enough to allow me to share his reason for writing. Don’t miss it. His story is incredibly honest, brutal and raw. And it will tell you why some of us not only like to write, but need it like air to breathe.
