The reason the first book in the Rise of the Grigori series came to be called The Undine’s Tear, the significance of the stones on all my covers, and more. Includes new insights into the covers and crystals on them.

In Part Five of my Rise of the Grigori Beneath-the-Surface series, I talk about some of the seed ideas the grew into a full-blown fantasy world full of mermaids, crystal technology, and more. (Hint: Breathing stones aren’t so far-fetched after all.)

In Part Four of the Rise of the Grigori Beneath-the-Surface series, Narcissa kor’Adonia, Opal Princess of the undine Island of Sirenia tells us what her cousin Calandra is really like…

In Part Three of the Rise of the Grigori Beneath-the-Surface series, I’m posting an author interview that’s mostly about me, not so much the series… but the series does get top billing.

In the Rise of the Grigori Behind-the-Scenes Tour part 2, I dive into how I came up with the idea for the world that became my epic young adult mermaid fantasy series.

The first of a series of behind-the-scenes posts for the Rise of the Grigori series. First up: What’s the series about?

Between my son leaving for college, buying a new house, shifts in careers, and some difficult health-related news, it’s been a challenging few months. But I’m holding on to gratitude. Here’s what’s been going on.

From a decade-long abusive marriage to an award-winning author in a life she loves, Jessica Renwick shares her journey to health, healing, and authenticity in this moving installment in the “Inspirational People” feature.

Exciting news about The Waterboy going into audio, and an interview with Canadian author Suzy Vadori about her new young adult novel, Wall of Wishes.

There are three reasons you should read this post. Actually, scratch that. There are over a hundred reasons you should read this post. Hint: It involves free books! (Plus the other stuff in the title, too.)

Two weeks from today, on March 27, I will be releasing The Waterboy. It will be free and available exclusively to my newsletter subscribers. Here is the cover, blurb, and a short behind-the-scenes about the book.

It’s been a strange week. And by “strange,” I mean it was like there were an extra six really-high highs and kinda-sucky lows stuffed into it without much of a breather between one or the other. So, for posterity, here are the highlights, and a moment to be grateful, too.

I’m not sure I’m cramming enough exciting things into my week. What do you think?
