No context for this one. 😅
I’m on my third final read-through of Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2), and I usually do about five of these, so…a few more days, maybe? 💙
Innocently
GCLS Conference
If you’re at GCLS in Minneapolis—St. Paul this year, here’s where you can find me! 💙
I’m so looking forward to seeing you! 💙 But be warned: however shy and awkward you’re expecting me to be—quadruple that. 😅
(P.S. – I definitely meant to share this before the Romantasy panel, not after. 😅)
A Maria Teaser
Sorry for the lack of updates. I genuinely thought I’d be on here more, and time just keeps running away from me.
Do you know those weeks where by the end, you’re begging for just one thing to go right, just to break the spell? Last week was one of those for me.
This week—well, there’s been several setbacks already, but it’s still early! Things could smooth out. 💙
I hope last week was a little better for you than for me, but if it wasn’t, I’m hoping this one’s better for you! 💙
The new link isn’t up yet, and I don’t have an exact date or time. It could be one more week. It could be more. (I hope not, but it could.)
When it’s time, I’ll share two updates: one when it’s “in review,” and the next when the link goes live. 💙
In the meantime, I have our weekly teaser, if you enjoy those. 💙
I thought I shared this one already, but apparently, it never made it over here.
But that just means I’ll have two for you this week! 💙
Sure, you don’t, Maria. 😜
On an unrelated note, do you know how hard it is to find G-rated lines in Maria’s point-of-view?
For everyone who’s sent messages or emails recently, I promise I’ll reply to those as soon as I can. 💙
The downside of spending every free moment preparing a book for a release is that I miss a lot. 😅 I’ll read them all soon, though! 💙
I appreciate you all so much! 💙
I’ll be back with a new snippet in the next day or so—and the new book link as soon as possible! 💙
Sending lots of love. 💙
Snippet and Sapphics with Swords
I hope you’re having a wonderful week! 💙
I’m a few days late in sharing it here, but I have our weekly snippet and a fun announcement! 💙
Snippet
Never blame the dragons. 🐉
(In front of Emilia.)
Also…
Did you see this? 💙
Pirates of Aletharia was second in I Heart SapphFic’s Sapphics with Swords poll! 💙
Thank you so much to everyone who voted! 💙
And congratulations to the other winners! 💙
You can see them here:
Oh, and the newsletter should be finally going out tonight, so be sure to check your inboxes for that! 💙
Lots of love,
Britney
A Helen Snippet
Being ship surgeon of the Wicked Fate means dealing with Helen. A lot. 😅
I enjoy sharing snippets—if for no other reason than that it gets me out of my head for a moment and makes me stop listening to that endless loop of: “I’m terrible. Everything I do is terrible. Why am I even trying? Etc., etc.”
The only problem is when I need to choose a snippet, my anxiety kicks in with: “Don’t choose the wrong one! Oh, no, I’m going to choose the wrong one!”
My brain’s fun, don’t you think? 😅
But that’s one of the things I like about hashtag games. A few years ago, the writing community on Twitter had tons of them. There aren’t as many anymore, but one of my favorites is still going. 💙
Searching for a specific word in the document means it’s less of a choice, and my anxiety cooperates better with that arrangement. 😅
It does result in some pretty random snippets—but snippets, nonetheless!
The word for this week was “woman,” and when I searched and this scene popped up, I thought, “Well, maybe my Helen fans will enjoy this one.” 😂
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you have a wonderful week! 💙
Lots of love,
Britney
Goddess of the Sea and a (very blue-ish) Cover
Have you seen the cover for Goddess of the Sea yet? 💙
I shared it in the newsletter and on social media in August, but if you’re not following any of those, you might’ve missed it.
I’ve been taking care of sick kids lately and forgetting literally everything, but now that they’re feeling better (yay!), I’ll try to catch it all up.
So, if you missed it, you can see the (very blue-ish) cover below! 💙
Lesbians, Pirates, and Dragons: Book 2
by Britney Jackson
Goddess of the Sea, sequel to Pirates of Aletharia, will be here this December. 💙
🏴☠️ lesbian pirates (obviously)
🏳️🌈 healing from trauma
🏴☠️ dragon-riding
🏳️🌈 ship cats getting much-deserved treats
🏴☠️ a certain navy admiral and her many secrets
🏳️🌈 sapphic sea goddess
Eeek, what do you think? 🫣
December! 💙
(And I’m absolutely panicking about it. 😅)
When my panic dies down a bit, I want to start sharing weekly(-ish) snippets, so stayed tuned for that.
Until then, stay well, and stay safe! 💙
Lots of love,
Britney
Lesbian Visibility Day
Happy Lesbian Visibility Day! 🏳️🌈
Representation is so important. I spent so long feeling alone, scared, wrong, and just…broken. It’s why I write what I write and why I’ll continue to write what I write. 🧡🤍💖
You deserve to exist, and you deserve to see yourself exist. It’s the people who tell you otherwise who are wrong. 🧡🤍💖
In celebration of Lesbian Visibility Week, Jae has put together a list of one hundred books with lesbian protagonists (including one of mine 🧡).
