And then I wrote PURITY, the contemporary. My second was SISTERS RED (a darker fairytale book). My first book was AS YOU WISH (the genie one). The number one advantage to casting your genre net wide? Never feeling hemmed in by a “brand”. Let’s go ahead and discuss the good stuff first. So, what I’m saying is: I write a pretty wide variety of stuff! For this post, I thought it might be fun to discuss the challenges-and the pleasures-of writing somewhat up and down the kidlit spectrum. I’ve also got a middle grade spy series coming out next year. It’s something of a far cry from my other books-which are a series of retold fairytales, a contemporary story about a girl losing her virginity, and a story about a girl falling in love with the genie granting her three wishes. TSARINA is set in Imperial Russia it’s about a young noble named Natalya who must find and use a magical Fabergé egg to save both the love of her life and her country. This February, my seventh book came out-a historical fantasy called TSARINA, which I wrote under the pen name J. Nelle Patrick - but we still know who she really is! I'm thrilled that Jackson stopped by to chat. In her latest book, TSARINA, she used the pseudonym J. Here in Georgia, we're proud to claim Jackson Pearce as a local literary star. I'm always amazed at how much talent lies just in my back yard.
