January Wrap-Up and February Goals for Author J.L. Gribble

Earth and Water is live!

In case you missed it, or you’re a newcomer, my first queer paranormal romance came out on January 23! This novel, which is also my first self-published title, tells the full love story between two important secondary characters in the world of my urban fantasy series. I couldn’t be happier with the warm reception this book has received from readers old and new.

No rest for me, though! Amid my recent marketing mayhem, I’m also hard at work on my next projects. There’s also the usual absurd amount of reading with a few breaks to build LEGO and play World of Warcraft. It’s a pretty great life, honestly.
