edit data

JP Marshman has been writing stories as long as she can remember, and such a little hobby has grown into a fervent passion. She primarily writes adventure and high fantasy, and dabbles in science fiction. She currently lives in the Okanagan Valley in beautiful British Columbia, where she ignores the crystal blue lakes and golden sunshine to instead stay indoors and grow paler so she can churn out fables with the heroes in her head. She also enjoys the company of video games, bad jokes, and cats.

Oh, and the J stands for Jessica. You have to earn the right to know what the P means.

I’m back!

I know, I know.

This absence has been atrocious.

However.

Let me explain.

Last summer, I came to realize that the battery of my trusty laptop was dying. Easy enough, right? I went to the local computer shop, ordered a new battery, and went on with my life. Then I installed the Witcher 3 – a newer game on my older computer (the computer turned five this past November) that I expected to run on high set

J.P.’s Quotes

“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. an alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”
― Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper
