I'm back from our mini-break and I'm revealing the cover for THE SORCERESS QUEEN AND THE PIRATE ROGUE!  (https://jeffekennedy.com/the-sorceress-queen-and-the-pirate-rogue). Thoughts on re-acclimatizing post-COVID and a bit of cat wrangling.

A cat photobomb today - and subsequent podcaster injury. Also how same cat had a major jailbreak, spring garden cleanup, and why I sometimes (often?) make choices that aren't the best businesswise.

I'm explaining why I'm not a Vellum fan like so many, and who I use for formatting my self-published books. Also how I don't like when Big Name Authors look down on other authors who might not have the same measures of success.

The BBeBooks website, the formatter I recommend, is here (https://bbebooksthailand.com/).

Another roadrunner sighting and ambush foiled. I'm also musing on the concept of "deserving" success and why it can feel awkward when people tell us that. Also, thoughts on positive take-aways from this pandemic year.

Here is The Word Detective article I read from http://word-detective.com/2011/07/deserve.

Which Are Better – the Easy Scenes or the Hard Ones?

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog

This is a band of smoke from the California fires streaming into New Mexico. It’s fascinating what an obvious demarcation it makes in the sky. Compare this to where I am (the blue dot) on the smoke map. So happy to be in the blue sky section today!
Our topic at the SFF Seven this week is the easiest scene we ever wrote and why.
I have no idea what the answer would be for me – but I can tell you exactly why that’s the case. Come on over to find out.

A bit on how the universe works in strange ways, the importance of author voice - and how to refine it - and whether querying with a pristine mss is *that* important. Also, an amazing movie for studying suspense!

The class I'm teaching is Keeping Secrets and Creating Suspense here (http://www.oirwa.com/forum/campus/#AUG)

On conversations and brainstorming with bestie Grace Draven, and reports on what I've been reading lately - including mild complaints on female characters not having enough to do.

Updates on THE PROMISED QUEEN, and upcoming projects. Also thoughts on how subtle language choices create gender bias, i.e., it seems like the male characters have all the action.
