Summer might be all sun and sand on the surface…
But behind the scenes? It’s all coffee, chaos, and way too many open documents.
Here’s a peek at what’s been keeping me busy this summer—and what’s coming next in the world of Jena Wilde (and beyond).
🎄 A Holiday in Paradise
First up: I’m writing a Christmas novella set in the Ivory Tower world!
This story is full of warm holiday charm with a touch of sabotage (naturally). Expect snowy decorations in a tropical setting, glittering charity galas, cookie mishaps, and a security contractor who really doesn’t want to wear a Santa hat.
You’ll see a few familiar faces, too—yes, Nick might make an appearance. Possibly with a bourbon-spiked eggnog in hand.
🐉 Meanwhile… in Another World Entirely
Under a different pen name (secret for now 👀), I’m working on a dragon shifter novella for an upcoming anthology. (Here’s a sneak peak at Icylin.)
It’s high-stakes fantasy with slow-burn romance, ancient magic, and a dragon prince who thinks he’s too dangerous to love—until a fierce human scientist throws his world off balance.
It’s been fun to switch gears and dive into a whole new world of mythology, power struggles, and primal heat.
🌪️ Back to the Storm
On the Ivory Tower front, I’m deep in final revisions for Book 2 (Storm Front) and working through the last few chapters of Book 3 (Storm Surge). David is being difficult (as expected). Zach is being quiet (also expected). And the women who challenge them? Let’s just say they’re not backing down.
These stories have taken on a life of their own, and I can’t wait to share them with you.
🖥️ A Fresh Coat of Digital Paint
And finally… I’ve been redesigning my website to better reflect everything the Jena Wilde brand has become—polished, a little dangerous, and full of romantic suspense.
New pages. New visuals. A whole new home for the stories I’ve been writing in secret for years. It’s all coming together, and I hope you love the result as much as I do.
So yes—it’s a busy summer. But a good kind of busy.
The kind that means stories are coming. Pages are stacking up. And somewhere in the chaos, magic is happening.
Thanks for being here for it.
More soon, Wildings.
Stay cool, stay curious—
