New Series!
Current mood: ecstatic
Category: Writing and Poetry

Ladies and gentlemen, Avid Fans…I'm thrilled to announce that BLACK & WHITE, the dystopian superhero novel that I co-wrote with Caitlin Kittredge, sold to Bantam in a two-book deal. (We may even get the first book in the Summer 2009 lineup! Squee…)

The Blurb: Two superpowered women, once best friends, now on opposite sides of the law, must work together to fight the Big Bad Evil. Bwahahahaha! (Think JUSTICE LEAGUE meets BLADERUNNER. Sort of.) Caitlin writes in the POV of the villain; I write in the POV of the heroine. She's the evil genius; I'm the tortured hero.

Say it with me: HUZZAH!!!

Updated website! New sections! Oooh, shiny!
Category: Web, HTML, Tech

Every once in a while, I get the urge to buy a new wardrobe. Or to chop my hair real short. Or to…say it with me…buy new shoes.

Along those lines, I proudly present to you…the all new JackieKessler.com! The new look is all thanks to my marvelous web guru, Vibeke Courtney of DreamForge Media. Bekke rocks! THANK YOU, BEKKE!!!

Stuff to note:

1. Cat and Muse has its own section now! Check out the "About" and "The Staff."

2. There’s a HELL FAQ section! I figure, some people might be interested in knowing more about the series, the research, and some other assorted HELL trivia.

3. Yes, the Music section is, indeed, coming soon. I just…you know, have to write the content.

So…whatcha think?
