TBT: Today’s story is a steamy J/J/C tale by @lord-jen-grey from 2020. Please enjoy!

[lord-jen-grey]

Hi! I really love your work. What is the best way to read the 1000 Kisses series? Should I read it in publishing order, or should I read the prequels first? I'm so excited to read this story! Thank you!

I recommend reading them in published order for sure.

Parts 4&5 have recommendations in the authors notes about how to read those two stories.

You can read 6 even tho 5 isn’t finished.

Enjoy!

[lord-jen-grey]

when?

When I can, honestly. I love my Petals characters, and I love that story. I genuinely what to share it to make the folks who love it happy.

Part of what is slowing me down is that I’m putting a new book out as we speak, and it’s consumed my life for the last year and a half.

The Brightest Lights

There is definitely some inspiration from Petals in that book (though it’s not the same story). The main character does have a flower obsession and she also receives a few petals of her own. Another of the characters has a fondness for poetry, and recites Dickinson, Teasdale, Sappho, and Wilcox to her love interest.

It’s a big book. As big as some of the Outlander books. It follows 3 love stories over the course of 2 months. The love stories are interconnected. They’re all mental health professionals, and this is a glimpse into their lives.

When you meet the character of Jason Beckett, you might recognize where some of where the inspiration came from regarding his physical description 😏 and personality 🥹.

Lina made some beautiful sketches of the flowers that represent each character. Excerpts are included in the comments of the IG posts below.

So to answer your question, yes, I plan on continuing petals now that this book is done.

Is there still an Outlander FanFiction Fandom?

Things have slowed down with the long droughts, but I’ve been seeing new readers in my notifications (for what that’s worth). I’m sure more people will get excited again closer to November and writing will pick up too 🥰.

[lord-jen-grey]

Will you go back to ‘Like Petals Falling’?

Yes

Y’all, I just got an email alert about a new chapter on a story I follow. Here’s the author’s note for that chapter. 😂

2023 Bookbinding Wrap-up

Bookbinds in 2023:

A Place to Belong (150k words, 504 pages)

Tales of James Fraser (37k words, 130 pages)

Sonnets from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (Rebind)

Muscle Memory (121k words, 354 pages)

The Lost Ones + WMLRTM (Quarto bind, 18k words, 111 pages)

New skills learned:

making quarto binds!

lots of typesetting tricks and experiments

Goals met in 2023:

make more binds than in 2022 (3) 🥳

learn how to make a tiny book 🥳

I realize I am relatively slow at bookbinding compared to more established binders, so I don’t think my journey in bookbinding is all that exciting to follow 😅 However, I do this just for fun and feel like I’m still constantly learning and growing, and I balance my time with this with reading and writing as well, so it’s okay that my pace is what it is. Hoping to stay on pace and make about 5 books in 2024 and not stress myself out and just enjoy the process!

Look how cool this is 🤩🤩🤩
