I'm a romance writer from Appalachia focusing on serial fiction. I read all kinds of genres and look forward to connecting with other storytellers! | she/her | 18+
Hi! I’m Jessica Gail (she/her). I’m new to Writeblr, though I’ve been on Tumblr for many years now. I have recently decided to create a sideblog for my serialized romance writing under a new pen name, just so these stories have a place of their own.
I’ll be posting writing updates, art/snippets, and edits here. My hope is that I can connect with other authors and be part of a community of writers.
While I love to read most genres, it's all romance from me here. I am hosting my writing in free weekly updates on Patreon while the story is in progress (they will be paywalled once the story is over) and you can check it out here if you are interested.
Tropes I enjoy writing:
Found Family
Redemption Stories
HAPPY ENDINGS
Enemies to Lovers
Opposites Attract
WIP:
Six Strings & Stardust
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Summary:
World-renowned pop sensation, Naomi Bell, finds herself entangled with the charismatic front man, Benjamin Ferreira, of a rock band that is quickly making a name for itself. Their encounter is nothing short of electric as a profound connection forms between them during a very charged weekend. However, their blissful time together is shattered by expectations and misunderstandings, propelling them into an intense and highly publicized feud.
The media frenzy intensifies as Naomi and Ben engage in a lyrical battle, each pouring their emotions and frustrations into their music. With every verse, they exchange sharp words and veiled accusations, fueling the flames of their apparent animosity.
As their fame and careers skyrocket, the once infatuated duo now stand on opposite sides of the music spectrum, bitterly divided by a web of misconceptions and manipulations. But, despite the ever-growing chasm between them, their hearts keep pulling them back to each other.
In the midst of the turmoil, both artists face immense pressure from their loyal fans and industry expectations. They struggle to break free from the stereotypes and preconceived notions that have woven a complex web around their lives. Amidst the chaos, they discover the true power of their music - a medium through which they can communicate their deepest desires and emotions.
Driven by an unrelenting determination to reunite, Naomi and Ben embark on individual journeys of self-discovery. Along the way, they confront their personal demons, navigate the treacherous waters of fame, and rediscover the passion that first drew them together.
As their paths converge once again, they find solace in their shared experiences and an unbreakable bond that defies the odds. United by their passion for music and a profound understanding of each other's struggles, they rise above the fabricated feud that tore them apart.
This is a story of forgiveness, redemption, and the unbreakable spirit of two artists who refuse to be defined by the barriers erected around them.
Upcoming Stories:
In a world where people are destined to find their soulmate through a unique name tattoo, one woman with an incredibly common name ends up meeting two men who share the same bizarrely uncommon name that she happens to have tattooed on her skin. She must navigate the complexities of fate, choice, and love as her heart becomes entangled in a web of unexpected connections.
When a woman stumbles upon a mystical journal that materializes anything written in it, she seizes the opportunity to create her ideal partner. But as her dream man comes to life, she soon realizes that perfection may not be all it seems, leading to a poignant exploration of the power of love and self-acceptance.
I can’t wait to meet and interact with other writers here!

This feels super awkward to do but I'm putting myself out there for better or worse, so! I go by Kaelie on here, I am 22, Queer, and go by she/her pronouns. I've been on writeblr on and off since I was maybe fifteen but haven't touched it in four years. I am now 22 and for most of those four years I have been plagued by my current WIP, currently called Project Genesis. I've only just recently forced myself to really sit and try to get it out of my head.
I'm kind of ashamed to admit that the only book I ever finished was a warrior cats fan fiction I wrote when I was twelve (It was like forty chapters, I wrote it by hand in a notebook and I let someone take it home and read it one time and it haunts me) Everything since then has either been abandoned and never even made it out of the planning stage.
For the last four years I've been super stressed and in a super bad mental state and had no time to truly sit and try to write anything and if I did I thought it was absolute trash and it kinda made me hate writing. I even stopped reading despite being obsessed with books from the moment I could read, but in the last year and a half I have rediscovered my love for reading and now I want to try writing again.
Project Genesis is meant to be a multi-book high fantasy series with horror elements (maybe, I've not read many horror books and have little experience writing it. Any tips on writing horror, or good horror books to read would be much appreciated) It's got alternating POVs, basically everybody is queer, lots of religious imagery (maybe only if you squint, but I swear sometimes I feel like I'm just ripping off the Bible)
Despite existing for almost for almost four years its hard to describe what it's actually about? The first book at least is a dual POV about one character denying and running from their destiny to avoid becoming a sacrificial lamb, and another character trying to carve out a destiny for himself when he's not meant to have one (not in a 'he's supposed to be dead' way but in a 'you're life isn't supposed to have any affect on the world' kinda way)
It is currently in early planning stages, I'm working on a zero draft and outline before really hunkering down to try a first draft. I don't know how this is gonna go as far as like updates? I'm really just kinda using this as motivation, like if I talk about and say I'm doing it I can keep myself accountable and not just drift away from this like so many others. I expect it to all be horrible but so long as it's something I can go back and make it better. Thanks for reading! 👋🏻
A Spark of Magic is one step closer to being yours. You can pre-order the ebook from most retailers here! (Note: Amazon's link will only be available on release day. I apologise for the inconvenience) Paperback pre-orders coming soon.
Since I can't do any pre-order campaign with physical goodies due to my geographical location, I decided to lower the ebook's price to half of what it will be after release, so if you pre-order now, you can get it for $1.99 (US)/1,99€/£1.99. I'll keep this price for a week after the release so that people who tend to get ebooks from Amazon can still enjoy this little bonus. I hope you can understand and take advantage of this deal 💛
Check the section below for FAQs such as whether it'll be on KU, ARC readers and other things. If you have any questions not featured below, feel free to send them my way!
Q: Why pre-order?
A: Pre-orders are a great way to help authors. Whenever you pre-order a book, you're letting that retailer know there's interest in it which helps it chart higher in retailer charts (generally speaking). This means there's a potential for it to reach more people who otherwise might miss it.
Q: Will this book be available on KU?
A: Since I'm opting for a wide release, and due to KU's exclusivity nature, I can't offer my ebooks through there while having them available elsewhere.
Q: Will this book be available on Kobo Plus?
A: Yes, it will! In case you don't know what Kobo Plus is, it's a similar subscription program to KU, except it doesn't require authors to be exclusive to the platform. This program isn't available in every country, but you can check here if your country has it. They're also adding new territories often, so keep that in mind.
Q: When will paperbacks be available for pre-order?
A: I wish I could have a concrete date, but I don't. There's a chance the paperback release will have to be postponed a week or two, but I'll keep you informed. If you're unsure which you should order, wait until I show you what the paperback looks like so you can make your choice!
Q: Will you have ARC reviewers for this release?
A: I will only have eARC reviewers available, and you can sign up for it here if you're interested! All the information is there, but if you have extra questions/concerns feel free to reach out and I'll reply as soon as I can.
Thank you so much for reading this far! I'll try to keep this post updated, so I'll probably reblog it whenever I add new information!
Irina Cisternino, a PhD candidate of Stony Brooke University, is writing their research on topics related to technology, art and fandom. You can participate by filling out a survey and additionally, signing up for an interview. The survey is expected to last until at least the end of April, those, who signed up for the interview, will be contacted later. You need to be at least 18 years old to participate in either, be able to understand and speak English and identify as a fan.
After the completion of the research, it will be accessible as the dissertation of the researcher. If you have further questions, you can contact Irina Cisternino at [email protected] or Lu-Ann Kozlowsky at [email protected].
I've talked a little on here about wanting to move away from Substack in light of the company they keep. Since then, the environment has only gotten worse. My feed is constantly flooded with the most vile transphobic, homophobic, and hateful posts imaginable. All of which make this move so easy for me.
The last scheduled post of my story is going out on May 2nd, and after that I'm pulling the plug.
My new home for my stories will be on Patreon! My next story, Show Me Your Name will begin uploading on there for free in June, and Six Strings & Stardust will be available to read as part of my paid archive tier. (But you don't have to do that. You can still read it for free on Substack until the end of May or wait for the revised novel to come out this summer!)
Please consider following my Patreon here. You can follow for free by clicking the three dot menu to the far right of the page. All new stories will be free to read while updating.
Thank you! Looking forward to all the new things to come this year!
I'm sorry, but this is the prettiest thing I've ever seen. OMG. I mentioned in a reblog the other day that I had commissioned someone to do the cover for my story and ever since then, I've had the hardest time keeping it to myself.
I'm so incredibly happy with how this turned out. It's like the characters were plucked right out of my head. I feel so much more confident about the first impression my story is going to make now.
The whole experience working with the artist was such a treat. I cannot believe people trade that for keystrokes in an AI design engine.
I recently commissioned @monoidea to do art for my book cover and was absolutely blown away. They’re a delight to work with and the outcome was amazing!
They understood my vision so well and the characters feel like they were plucked right out of my head. So happy with the whole experience.
Not to be dramatic, but I just got the final art back for the Six Strings & Stardust cover and it's the best day of my life lol. I cannot wait to share it with you!
