A Gift for You + A First Look at What's Coming Next! šŸŽāœØ


Hi there,

It’s been a minute! Or, depending on which realm you were counting from, possibly a century. But fear not: I haven’t been lost wandering the astral plane or trapped in a fae time loop (well, not entirely). Just quietly brewing stories, plotting twists, and occasionally remembering what day it is. If you’re still here, you’re officially part of the Inner Circle of Patience, and I’m thrilled to reconnect!

If you’ve been wondering what I’ve been up to, here’s the scoop: I’ve been deep in the world of The Forbidden Fae—the first book in my upcoming Cursebringer series—and it’s been an adventure, to say the least. I’ve poured my heart and soul into this story, and I can’t wait to take you on this journey with me.

Stay tuned for a special, subscribers-only preview of that project soon!

In the meantime, I recently got inspired to revisit the Souls Untethered world, and I’ve put together a prequel novella from Macy’s point of view that I’m excited to share with you for free. (Yes, free!) Think of it as my little way of saying thank you for sticking with me.

It was bittersweet to revisit the Souls Untethered universe, the one that started it all, but I loved every minute of writing Macy’s story, and I hope you enjoy it.

So, what’s next?

I’m sending out a special preview of The Forbidden Fae for my subscribers soon, and I’d love for you to be the first to get your hands on it. Expect a cover reveal, behind-the-scenes updates, and maybe even some more free surprises!

If you've missed me as much as I've missed you, I’d love for you to join me on this next adventure. You’ll be the first to know all the details, and I promise there’s much more where that came from!

Stay tuned, and as always, thank you for being part of this journey with me. Your support means the world.

With gratitude and excitement,
K.J.

P.S. If you had a rule-breaking power like Macy’s, what would you use it for?

I read and answer every email myself, and I want to hear from you!

Hi there, I've been sitting on this for SO LONG, and I am barely holding it together. Today is the day I finally get to show you the cover for The Forbidden Fae. Behold! Isn't she stunning? I genuinely cannot believe this book is almost in your hands. Here's what's waiting for you inside: Half fae. Half caster. Traitor to both. Eden Hale has spent seventeen years hiding. Desperate to stay in the caster realm with the only family she has left, the defiant half fae conceals her true bloodline...

Hi there, This isn’t an easy email to write, but it’s an honest one. I wrote a short story a while back, and it’s the most personal thing I’ve ever shared. It’s not part of a series, and it doesn’t follow a grand magical quest.But there is magic in it… a quieter kind. The kind that aches. It was inspired by the loss of my sister. In September of 2000, my older sister passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Over the years, I’ve processed a lot of grief through writing—journaling, poetry, even...
