You can’t have one without the other.

Jess Michaels — Wed, 22 Mar 2017 06:28:49 +0000

Recently I had rights returned for ten books when Samhain Publishing finally (FINALLY) closed their doors. If you were on my social media, you probably saw the picture I posted of the moment when I got the email releasing my rights: The emotions you’re seeing here are relief, joy, and disbelief. It was a long […]

The Ritual of Writing

Jess Michaels — Wed, 02 Nov 2016 06:16:34 +0000

Recently someone on Facebook asked me about the rituals I participate in as I prepare to write a book. Now if you know me, you know I don’t really believe in “muse”, I don’t listen to music when I write (though I’ve certainly been inspired by music in coming up with ideas for a story), […]

Characters We Fall In Love With

Jess Michaels — Wed, 20 Jul 2016 06:13:43 +0000

We all have characters we fall in love with in television, movies and, of course, books. People who jump off the page and grab us by the arm and take us on their journey. When they laugh, we laugh. When they cry, we cry. As an author, I’m often asked if I have a favorite […]

It’s a New Series!

Today is such an exciting day for me, it’s the launch of a new series. Yes, after a year and a half in the related worlds of the Flynns and Woodleys, Seasons is here! The Seasons series has been in my head for a long time. I was originally planning to write it for another […]

Why I Write: A Flashback Post

Jess Michaels — Mon, 20 Jun 2016 05:51:55 +0000

This is a flashback post about why I write that I did nearly 2 years ago for a reader blog, as I was just about to embark on indie publishing The Other Duke! Why I Do This is still the same really. Writing is the heart of me and it’s fun to see what I […]

There’s Something About a Notorious Flynn

Jess Michaels — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 14:21:52 +0000

When I had the idea for The Other Duke last summer, there was no way I could have imagined what would happen next. All I knew was that I had an idea that thrilled me and it easily lead to a family that intrigued me even more. Writing each book in the series was a […]

Why the USA Today Bestseller List Means So Much to Me

Jess Michaels — Sat, 02 May 2015 06:38:21 +0000

This week something amazing happened to me. Something I had long dreamed of but had come to accept just probably wouldn’t ever happen. I hit a bestseller list. A BIG bestseller list. I hit the USA Today. Hitting a major list (New York Times or USA Today) had been a dream of mine since I […]

My First Romance

Jess Michaels — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 06:04:44 +0000

Last year, my mother sent me a package that contained, amongst other things, my very first romance novel. Well, novel may be overstating it. It was a two-paged story with what I think you will agree are some incredibly questionable margins. But you may also see a sneak peek into the developing mind of Jess […]

Awesomely Strong Heroines

Jess Michaels — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 05:53:55 +0000

I know I ask for them, but in truth I rarely read reviews. Reviews, at least in my mind, are really meant for readers, to help each other make decisions. I want them because it helps with my Amazon ranking and Goodreads visibility (and because it helps other readers make a decision if they’ve never […]

Jess Michaels — Wed, 03 Dec 2014 06:19:26 +0000

Every week I answer a question from a reader or writer here on my blog. You can add a question to the queue by putting it in the comments on any blog. This week’s question is: How do you come up with titles for your books? Titles are one of the hardest thing for me […]
