I am an author.

I write teen fiction; primarily romantic teen fiction.

I do not write autobiographies. Also, I really think it odd that people would want to know much about me. Isn’t it enough to know that I am the author of [Insert one of my titles here]?

Should it matter if I live in Morocco or Maine? (neither) Do I also speak Swahili? (nope, but it’s fun to say, isn’t it?) Do I prefer Chocolate or Strawberry? (chocolate chip cookie dough)

No, of course not. You want to know if I wrote [title] or [some other title]. You want to know when the next in the series you’re reading will be out. That sort of thing. This is the wrong page for that. Try one of the others.

Also, I don’t use Goodreads. So, if there’s a way to interact with me I either can ...more

Will you be completed the Now & Forever series within the next few years? because in your first book it shows To Be Announced 3 & 4 plus another book to follow.

Jaye Em Edgecliff Oh, sorry for the delay in answering. Goodreads didn't bother to tell me about your question and I don't spend much time on the site.

Yes, I do intend …moreOh, sorry for the delay in answering. Goodreads didn't bother to tell me about your question and I don't spend much time on the site.

Yes, I do intend to finish the series shortly. Book 2 is already out, and I'm in the process of writing book 3. With luck it should come out summer of 2015, but it could be delayed to later in 2015. Book 4 is expected out in 2016, but as I'm not done writing 3 I can only guess at 4 beyond the epilogue which was written before Love or Lust was done.(less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jaye Em Edgecliff Mostly I cry.

Really, I don't have a constructive way of dealing with it. I have yet to meet anyone who sincerely does. Each writer has her own methods…moreMostly I cry.

Really, I don't have a constructive way of dealing with it. I have yet to meet anyone who sincerely does. Each writer has her own methods, some work for them … some are delusional.

I could go on about random iTunes lists and the Electric Sheep screensaver (does that even still exist?), except it didn't work for me as it does for Spider Robinson.

I could talk about prayer, but if that does help it's slow enough as to not seem an obvious solution.

Long walk in the wilderness? Maybe, depends where the block is coming from.

Backtracking and finding the part of the story where you went the wrong way? Yeah, that's worked before and other times not at all.

Crying doesn't help either, really. The writer's block is still there, but it might get me a hug or a cup of tea, and that's probably just as good, right?(less)

Long overdue post

TW: death, loss, grief

I haven’t said much in quite awhile. The third book of Now & Forever is not written and the attempt to write it no longer exists.

On the morning 28 April 2023 I lost my family while I could do nothing but to watch helplessly. As you might expect that kind of breaks a person. I also, infinitely less importantly, lost all that I had.

For those unaware I tend to handwrite my work

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”

“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”

“I can believe things that are true and things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not.

I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and the Beatles and Marilyn Monroe and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen - I believe that people are perfectable, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is run by secret banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a regular basis, nice ones that look like wrinkled lemurs and bad ones who mutilate cattle and want our water and our women.

I believe that the future sucks and I believe that the future rocks and I believe that one day White Buffalo Woman is going to come back and kick everyone's ass. I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating and that the decline in good sex in America is coincident with the decline in drive-in movie theaters from state to state.

I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks and I still believe that they are better than the alternative. I believe that California is going to sink into the sea when the big one comes, while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic waste.

I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we'll all be wiped out by the common cold like martians in War of the Worlds.

I believe that the greatest poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years ago in a former life I was a one-armed Siberian shaman.

I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumble bee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself.

I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck.

I believe that anyone who says sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too.

I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system.

I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.”
― Neil Gaiman, American Gods
