Release Day!!

I love release day. A new book is out in the world. It is also ‘clean my office’ day. hahahaha I always clear my desk, put notes and notebooks away, and polish my desk before I move on to the next book.

Zombies on the Set is a zombie apocalypse story without the romance I usually put in my books. I was watching The Walking Dead and a zombie (actor) leaned in and tried to bite one of the characters. I was like “Oh, boy. Good thing they aren’t real zombies. How would they know until someone got bit?” Yes, folks. That is how quickly an idea can come to a writer. I love when that happens. It is ‘magic.’

Zombies on the Set is available on Amazon, Smashwords, and hopefully in a few days everywhere Smashwords distributes; Apple, B&N, and Kobo, among others.

Wyatt and Taylor are big Hollywood stars and wish they were anywhere but on the set of a low-budget horror film when the zombie extras become the undead. Can the movie stars survive a real apocalypse?

Jesus Christ Superstar

Went to a Broadway in Reno show last night. Jesus Christ Superstar. I only remember seeing it on television as a pre-teen.

The performers were excellent. Only con against the show is that it runs 90 minutes without intermission. I did okay, so that was a plus for me!

The music was great!! Highly recommend seeing it if you haven’t.

Hamilton – review

To say I loved Hamilton would be a major understatement. The crowd was electric. Major applause after every scene. The turntable stage was beyond awesome. There are not enough kudos for the performers. I can not imagine memorizing so many lines and singing and dancing and giving each “founding father” a personality.

I was cheering, laughing, and crying. They brought the human experience to life. No one is perfect. We all have flaws. Some are there for all of history to record.

I would go and see it again in a heartbeat.

Hamilton

Posted this early so will talk about seeing Hamilton on next blog post. I’m sure the husband and I had a wonderful evening out.

May you discover the magic of the season and keep it all year long!

Trapped in Christmas

That is the title of my Christmas book this year. Take one writer who doesn’t believe in Christmas and plunk her down into a small mountain town that is the epitome of the Christmas spirit and you have Trapped in Christmas. Add a snowstorm that shuts down the highway, a handsome animal shelter owner, a bakery owner who may be a little magical, and you may be stuck in Mistletoe Valley for the holidays.

I’m getting a cover by the end of October and Trapped in Christmas should be up on Amazon by the beginning of November! Stay tuned to this blog to see the cover early. Or be among the first if you subscribe to my Jill James newsletter! https://eepurl.com/hvtn-/

My cover artist did an amazing job!! I love the design, the couple, the whole vibe.

Cover Reveal – Ghostly Deceptions

I love showing off the beautiful covers Elaina Lee of For the Muse Designs makes for my books. I just give her a few details and she nails it–every time!

Andrea and Luke were an awesome couple to write. Definitely an enemies to lovers tale with a ghostly twist.

Even with her sister’s paranormal adventures in Ghostly Intentions and Luke being a part of the Ghost Releasers business, they both refuse to believe in the Otherworld. Too bad ghosts don’t care if you believe in them or not!!

When a spirit takes over Andrea’s mind, body, and life, they will have no choice but to believe and figure out how to fight ghostly deceptions.

Camp Nanowrimo 2021

April is the beginning of Camp Nanowrimo. It is a little looser than regular Nanowrimo which happens in November. In April, you set your own word count goal, you work on something already started, or work on several projects at the same time.

This month I’m working on finishing Ghostly Deceptions, book 2 in the Ghost Releasers, Inc. series. If I finish the first draft before the end of the month I’ll also work on Ghostly Perceptions, book 3 in the series.

I made a practice cover to keep me inspired during the month. This will not be the actual cover, I have a cover artist for that.

Do you do Nanowrimo or do you have any plans for April?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Hope everyone had a terrific St. Patrick’s Day. The day when everyone gets to be Irish. The usual feast is corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. But the husband doesn’t like corned beef, so we do steak, potatoes, salad, and a delicious dry Riesling.

 

May the blessings of the day be with you, Jill James

Cover Art Day

I love cover art day. It is the day I have the appointment with my cover artist to make a cover for one of my books. Today we will be working on the print cover for Zombies in the Grass, my newest release. Even though I have the ebook cover already, it is still exciting to see what Elaina Lee will do for the back cover, the fonts, and the colors. Since she did all my covers, she makes sure all the books in a series go together. Have I told you how awesome she is?!!

Release Day!

Nothing is exciting as publishing your first book, but #21 comes in pretty close. The Time of Zombies series have been my most exciting books to write. I love zombies. Movies, books, television shows.

Zombies in the Grass was so much fun to write. Willa Zara is all gung ho, army, follow the rules and Danny Lopez is ‘they are more like guidelines’ let’s break them, especially when he doesn’t agree with them. The other zombie books took place in various places in California I was familiar with. For Zombies in the Grass I headed up into the Sierra Nevada mountains to Donner Lake. The husband took me on a photo opportunity there to get pictures for inspiration for the story. The place is beautiful. The lake is crystal clear. An idyllic place (except for the snow and zombies I put there.) If you get the chance, check it out.

I hope everything loves Willa and Danny’s story as much as I did.

Available today at Amazon, Apple, BN.com, Kobo, and Smashwords. Coming soon in paperback.

Just One More Week

When you start writing a book it seems like release day will be soooo far in the future you can’t even see it with a telescope. But as you near the release day it rushes forward like an avalanche and there is no stopping it.

Zombies in the Grass, book 4 of the Time of Zombies series is almost here. Just one more week. This is Danny and Willa’s story. If you’ve read the rest of the series there are some nice tidbits from couples of books 1-3 and the boys of Rogue Vantage. Along with the gang are some new people; good and bad.

I hope you will enjoy walking with the dead, Jill James

Preorder at $2.99, two weeks after release it goes up to the regular price of $4.99

ZOMBIES IN THE GRASS

Zombies in the Grass

She follows every rule. He breaks them as much as possible. Will they get on the same page to defeat the zombie horde?

The army is Willa Zara’s whole life. It has given her structure, discipline, and a family. When Danny Lopez has received one order too far, he deserts and takes the conscripted children with him. When danger strikes too close to the army base, Willa and Danny will have to decide which side they are on.

Opposites attract, or so the saying goes. What Willa and Danny have flashes like lightning starting a wildfire. Will it burn all in its path or lead to love in the time of zombies?

Zombies in the Grass is book 4 in the Time of Zombies series. Now available to preorder.
