Happy Birthday To Me!

releasing The Garden Of Graves from my heart and into your hands <3

I welcome my 11th house profection year by reflecting on my accomplishments and how far I’ve come this year. I started this blog as an outlet for my angry thoughts and a way to document my process of manifesting better for myself. And it’s been working <3

I’m still a lil mad girl at heart, but these days I’ve grabbed control of my feelings rather than letting the feelings control me. And whatever I’m feelings- happy, sad, mad- I use those feelings as fuel.

I spent all last year picking myself up off the floor and putting my pen to paper.

and now my first book releases on Monday :’) It’s truly a full circle moment for me. I’ve wanted this goal to be achieved since I was just twelve years old scribbling stories and drawing original characters in my school notebooks. The Substack has grown so much since it started, and I’ve garnished so much support for my book since I started writing it. Now it’s about to be read by people OMG.

If you preordered, THANK YOU.

We surpassed 75 presales just before my birthday and I couldn’t be more grateful. That means we’ve unlocked another preorder incentive just before release.

In honor of reach thing this goal, I’m hosting a giveaway on my instagram! Winner gets a SIGNED paperback copy of my paranormal romantic fantasy, The Garden Of Graves.

Presale window closes 5/11, and the giveaway ends 5/13.

Freebies:

look at some of the cool things going out in my preorder packages- we have the vellum overlays :)

And I got bookmarks made too :):) you can see both on my instagram and TikTok.

Book status update:

If you follow me on instagram I posted a very important update on my stories regarding book delays. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT RELEASE DATE, but I wanted to be transparent. The company I’m using to print my books had a delay in responding to me, but they sent me a message about being busier than usual which caused a slight delay in shipment. This means the books are late getting to me, which means they’ll be slightly behind getting into your hands (if you preordered). The delay isn’t big enough to push back the release date or to cause anyone ordering on release day to get the book any sooner that presales for physical copies will (fingers crossed). I do finally have UPS tracking and have been watching it like a hawk.

Now, if you preordered for kindle you will be able to read right on time.

Thanks for being understanding and patient with me!! This has been such a learning experience, and I can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned to the next book!

Here’s a proof I received from Amazon (not the company I used to print for my shop!) for the paperback. The quality is not my fave (which is part of the reason I’m printing with a different company), but this will add to convenience for people who prefer to order through them.

I can’t wait to have this book out in the world officially! If you haven’t preordered yet and want to, head over to jessicapjackson.com!
