Siren Teeth

Silly human. 😅

Snippet on underwater background: "I wish you'd been a little more clear in your descriptions." From the breathlessness of Maria's voice, Emilia figured she could only be talking about one thing. "You mean the breasts? I didn't think it would bother you," she admitted. "You grew up in a tavern, for Aletha's sake." "Not the breasts," Maria threw out her hands in frustration. "The teeth, Em! The f*cking teeth!" Several curious heads poked out of the water. Emilia took the shouting pirate by the arm and led her away from the hungry sirens. When they were out of earshot, she whispered, "I told you they had smiles like sharks." "I thought you meant not to trust them," Maria said. With a puzzled frown, Emilia said, "If I'd meant that, I would've said it." — GODDESS OF THE SEA, LESBIANS, PIRATES, & DRAGONS: BOOK 2, by Britney Jackson.

This week’s snippet fit the #lesficfri theme on Twitter, which was “wish.” 💙

I know this was a bit of a random one, but I hope you enjoyed it, anyway! 💙

I’m on a mission right now to hunt down all of the messages I missed when my physical and mental health were taking turns being awful. So, if the message can be found, I hopefully will find it and reply soon! 💙

I hope you have an awesome week, and for anyone already celebrating, happy holidays! 💙

Chunk of Ice

Snippet, anyone? 💙

It’s been so long since I shared one, but I’m going to try to share them weekly from here on out (if my mental health will cooperate).

Snippet on dark sea background: "Captain," Zain said, once they were alone, "who is Nydia, and why would our surgeon need to question her about Catherine?" Maria crossed her arms, hiding her feelings well—if she did say so herself. "Nydia Drakon is the unfeeling chunk of ice who somehow gave birth to Em." With a stare that was more exhausted than confused, Zain said, "I thought Em's mother was dead." "Yes," Maria said. "She's that, too." — from GODDESS OF THE SEA, LESBIANS, PIRATES. & DRAGONS: BOOK 2, by Britney Jackson

Also, for those of you who like to preorder, the Kindle link is up. 💙

Preorder it here

The date it shows at the moment is just a placeholder. I’ll fix it as soon as I have the exact date—which will be very soon. 💙

Happy December! I hope you have an awesome month! 💙

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! 💙

Goddess of the Sea

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. 🧡🤍💖

A lesbian flag with message, “Happy Visibility Day,” on Britney Jackson’s website.

In celebration of Lesbian Visibility Week, Jae has put together a list of one hundred books with lesbian protagonists (including one of mine 🧡).

You can find them here: https://jae-fiction.com/books-with-lesbian-characters-for-lesbian-visibility-week/

Drakon Leaders

I told myself that the possible downfall of Twitter had opened my eyes to the importance of sharing book stuff everywhere, rather than just one place, and yet, I continue to forget. 😅

I’m coming out of my latest migraine now and trying to find all the places I let fall behind this time. One of them is definitely the newsletter, but also, here. So, I’ll try to fix that this weekend! 💙

Recently, I shared Em’s (less-than-accurate) adorable beasties with you. This time, I thought I’d introduce you to the chosen leaders of the Drakon people. 💚🐉💚

At the moment, they have a couple of scenes in Book 2, but whether those scenes will survive edits or not is anyone’s guess. (I’m an overwriter. So, editing involves a lot of cutting for me.)

But if nothing else, it was fun! 💚

P.S. – Emilia’s mother is easy to spot because she’s the one with the angry eyebrows. 😅

(These were made with this picrew maker. 💙)
