Iona is breaking my heart...

...and giving me laughter cramps all at once.

Dear Lovelies and Soul Bards,

Oh. My. March.

You have come in roaring as loudly as Aryeh’s mane of curls. (If you didn’t know what his name means in Hebrew… hint, it’s lion.) I’ve been quite enthralled to be wrapping up The Winged Ones. It will be going out WIDE to all platforms in the coming month!

Pearl and Gold, Nephtyri’s novella post Season 1’s Book 5, is waiting on a final readthrough from me for typos because I am THAT Virgo editor ironing out all the kinks while Rachel D. Adams wraps up the final touches on the blurb. I kid you not, we could see this one on pre-order alongside The Winged One’s launch!

Now… onto Little Miss Christiana Iona Mairi Sinclair-Fergus—or as everyone comes to love her as being circa Book 4, Iona. Yes, even her Uncle Ian, for whom she is technically named, loathes her real name. True, he and Nephtyri adopt Iona after the events of Book 5 and raise her alongside Elias as if she is their daughter. What happens when she, as a human, realizes that her cousins, various immortals, aren’t aging at the same rate as she is? By the time she is eight-and-twenty, they still look like they did about four or five years ago. She asks Ian for a dress for her birthday, but when illness strikes… she has a more serious question for him. She started calling Nephtyri the same thing Elias does, “Ma,” in Pearl and Gold. Daughter Forever, however, takes place about a decade or so after that novella. She’s still calling Ian her uncle… until now. Anna Corina made her older brother promise her human daughter would be given the same option he gave her, either to pass as she would like in a human life while protected by Uncle Ian and all the other uncles and aunts he brings with their found family… or Iona can ask one question.

Betareaders loved this one so much… I had to Turn (haha see what I did there?) it into a merch item over on the website! Coming soooooooon!

What are you excited to be creating lately, lovelies? Comment below!

I hope all is well with you and yours always. Take care of yourselves because our voices matter now more than ever, lovelies!

All my hugs
Jenna OM
