Alex and I will be finishing up the second half of She Is the End in the next few weeks and sending them out to betas, as well. Then... while we wait... I will be doing the illustrations for the book! I think I’ll do one illustration per episode, maybe two here and there, and it’s going to be a lot of work. I’ll keep you updated on my progress and probably give away a few more of the originals as a prize.
Stay tuned!
Hello there wonderful followers,
Sorry for the long time of radio silence. All my time have been devoted to going through the edits of my very, very, helpful beta readers and working hard at my new job.
But things are trucking along well. I will be making an appearance at the Edmonton Expo so if any of you are visiting for the event (Princess Leia’s going to be there) come by and see me. I’ll have some more details later when we get everything organised.
Thank you all so much for your continuing support and feedback. We’re shaping Beyond the Code into something special.

Hello, readers! Exciting news: Witherfist has just reached 30 preorders.
To celebrate, I have something cool to share with you. Below are some concept sketches of the creature known as the pack-dragon. One of these scaly beasts of burden featured in the first chapter of Witherfist, as part of an Isherbani caravan. Pack-dragons are the most common beast of burden in the world of Witherfist and are often used by merchants to transport goods.
The sketches below show various takes on the beast and were drawn by my ridiculously talented friend, Christin Gattuso. You can find a writing project that she’s working on, right here on Inkshares: The Decemvirs.
Christin has graciously allowed me to offer up a print of one of her sketches as a prize. When Witherfist reaches 50 preorders, I will select a reader at random to win this prize. As an added bonus, if you refer someone to purchase Witherfist, this will double your chances of winning. (You can use the ’Recommend’ buttons on the Witherfist project page to refer the book to someone else.)
Without further ado, the pack-dragon!
~ Jenny
