Thank You

I’ve been having a pretty rough time lately, but during that time, Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2) reached a happy, little milestone! 💙 It now has over five hundred reviews and ratings on Amazon! (And almost two hundred on Audible!)

I know I’ve said this a few times now, but I’ve never been more terrified to release a book than I was with this one. (And if you’ve known me for long, you know that’s saying something. 😅) This book was so vulnerable and so personal. Every positive reaction has meant the world to me. 💙

I couldn’t be more grateful that you were receptive to what I was trying to do with Em and Maria. Thank you. 💙

Nightmares

Goddess of the Sea (Book 2 of Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons) is featured in this week’s Sapphic Book Bingo category, “Comforting the other character after a nightmare.” 💙

If you’ve read the book, you know this is a particularly significant scene for Em and Maria, so I thought I’d say a few words about it.

One of the hardest things about PTSD, in my opinion, is the way so many of the symptoms leave you feeling powerless. Powerless over your body, over your mind, over the past, and…during a nightmare or flashback, powerless over the present, as well. Especially when the trauma came while under the power of someone else, that feeling of powerlessness is…difficult. So, to say this scene is a personal one (that made me cry many, many, many times) would be an understatement.

It was also a huge step for Em and Maria, and I deeply love what it does for their progress. 💙

International Lesbian Day

Hey! It’s our day! 🧡🤍🩷

Have the gayest day possible! (Double-meaning intended.) 🧡🤍🩷

P.S. — I hopped on to share this and noticed I’d forgotten to add our Friday snippets to the website for about…a month. 😅 Fortunately, the one benefit of being sick is having a little extra time. I should be able to catch those up this week! 🧡

Goldie Award

My second Goldie. How is this real? 🥹

2025 Goldie Award for Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2) by Britney Jackson

For anyone who might’ve missed it, last week, in Albany, New York, Goddess of the Sea won a Goldie Award in Fantasy! 💙

I guess it hasn’t fully sunk in yet—because it still feels so strange to say. 😅

For those of you who were watching the Awards, either in person or online, sorry again for bawling on stage, instead of giving a normal acceptance speech.

I don’t know if there are strong enough words to convey how much it means to me, but…I hoped I conveyed at least a fraction of it.

I’m going to try to do a more official and…maybe more eloquent post soon, but for now, I’m just really grateful. 💙

I’m also so happy I was able to meet some of you at GCLS! 💙

I’m missing everyone so much this week.

Huge congratulations to the other winners, as well! 💙

Oh, and I believe you can still watch the Goldie Awards on YouTube, if you missed them. 💙
