NYT Bestselling author Angie Fox and I will be presenting a workshop on all things Point-of-View, called Taking the Pain out of POV. The workshop will run Oct 1-14th and it should be both fun and informative.
Welcome!
Welcome Readers,
Book Two for the Realms Beyond series is in stores now. BEYOND THE SHADOWS is on the shelves and an ebook version should be coming soon. Be sure to check back soon for more information. BEYOND THE RAIN is also in bookstores as an August ‘09 Berkley release.
Check here for the latest news updates, or stop by the blog every Saturday for pictures from my butterfly garden and other fun things. I always love hearing from my readers, so feel free to contact me through the contact page, and be sure to explore the fun stuff page for free reading, insight into my worlds, or slightly naughty haiku.
Also, the newsletter has gone out for the release of Beyond the Shadows. If for some reason it got lost on the way to your inbox, or you missed signing up in time, it’s my pleasure to personally email you a copy. I always love hearing from you, so feel free to drop me a line through the contact page, or stop by the blog and leave a message.
Happy reading everyone! Thanks for stopping by,
Jess Granger

Ann Aguirre is giving away, not one, not two, but three copies of Beyond the Rain over on her blog. Go ahead and leave a comment, (if you dare) and you could win a book.
Did I mention Ann is awesome? Well she is.
Also take a peek at this nice review over at Reader to Reader Reviews.
Granger’s debut novel is a masterful work of colorful images, likable characters, and tantalizing romance… A clever and altogether sensuous interplanetary tale.

Here’s another great review at The Good, The Bad, and The Unread.
This book is stacked to the brim with interesting moments and very rich details … You are immersed in it but never feel like you’re drowning. Granger does an admirable job of keeping the alien-ness recognizable. She has created a world that uses mostly common terms and reactions. Sure it’s alien, sure it’s futuristic and sci-fi, but it feels more like “Serenity” or “Firefly” than “Star Trek,” if you know what I mean. The reader can recognize large portions of the author’s undoubtedly futuristic world. It’s a flawless little piece of world-building that Granger has done here.
