Jessica’s Next Novel
15-year-old NOVA LYNN has bounced around from foster home to foster home in the Gorian foster system, each one reminding her that no one wants a child like her, a child abandoned—and no matter how open her foster parents seem, she can’t trust them; she can only focus on carving out her own path in life.
But when Nova’s fire magic is exposed, her dreams of playing the piano professionally burn up like the fire in her veins. With the High Inquisitor of Gorian’s Magic Guard, MALIK, blackmailing Nova and her time in foster care drying up, Nova makes the risky decision to accept a foster placement at NIGHTSHADE MANOR, a mysterious manor known for fostering difficult children. There, Malik instructs her to search for illegal magic and, in exchange, he will provide her a passport and safe passage to a magic-tolerant land where she can play piano freely.
However, Nightshade Manor—and its inhabitants—are nothing like Nova imagined with forbidden magic seemingly welcome, a penchant for hugs, and, of all things, pocket dragons. Between foster siblings who beg her for connection, the kindly old butler, and the solemn Lord Liam, Nova begins to find herself questioning everything she thought she knew about family—is it really an impossible dream, an illusion? Or is it just an impossibility for her?

Editing Can Be Scary…But As An Editor, My Job Is To Make It Less Scary For You As The Author!
At Scribbles to Stories, I prioritize writer-story balance so that editing isn’t something that holds you back from your dreams…it helps you pursue them.
Here’s what I offer:
- A free thirty-minute, no-strings attached consultation to make sure I’m the right editor for your story. Let’s talk about your story concerns, goals, dreams, and themes!
- I focus on manuscript assessments and developmental edits: let’s make sure the bones of your story are solid so you can create story magic!
- I’ll be your cheerleader: while editing means I’m critiquing your story, not all critique is negative. Let me pull out your story’s areas of opportunities and its areas of strength.
- After I give my manuscript assessment or developmental edit, I offer a thirty-minute follow-up call to discuss concerns, brainstorm solutions, ask questions, and encourage you on the next stage of your journey.
Send me a message if this sounds like your dream editing experience! I’d love to walk through the next chapter of your writing journey with you.
