Jem Spears website is live!
As much as I love writing poetry under my own name, a big genre shift requires a pen name that’s up to the task. You’ll find my upcoming contemporary queer romance under Jem Spears, and today, it’s all more real than it was before, because now that pen name has its very own website!
The first book in this romance trilogy, Starlight and Cinnamon, comes out September 9, which feels both impossibly far away and also way too soon. But final edits are concluding this weekend (by hook or by crook, goddamit), the cover is almost finished, and I’ve got the next two books in the pipeline.
I’m going to be looking for you, dear reader, to help spread the word. If you can buy it, ask your local independent bookstore to get it for you, or buy directly from the links I’ll send once pre-ordering is set up. Whether you can purchase it or not, ask your local library to stock it! Tell your friends about it! Hell, tell your enemies about it, it’ll at least pique their interest and the web traffic won’t hurt.
In the meantime, I’ll be doing an exclusive cover reveal for my newsletter subscribers next month, and in June, I’ll have figured out how to send them a sneak peek at the book. I’m thinking chapter one. And of course once I’m a pro at that, I’ll send chapter two in July, chapter three in August, and then you’ll be ready to read all of it on its September publishing date! If you’re getting jealous and also want these first looks, you can sign up for my newsletter here.
So take a little tour of my new website and start getting excited! You’ll have Starlight and Cinnamon in your hands before you know it.
