What I’m doing now

Until We Met Again

This novelette is coming out in just under 2 weeks (28 October 2025)!! Wee, so excited to show you this book. It overlapped with an interesting period of life events that were uncannily on-theme for the book. I sincerely hope you like it.

Project Orellia

Still drafting the final book, still by hand in a little A6-sized notebook 🐌 I also seem to be stumbling upon books that better match the headspace I’m in. It was hard at first, reading stuff in a category I thought I was writing for only to constantly feel like there was no place in it for my work. But now that I’m finding more books that are similar to mine, I’m feeling a lot better about where this series is going.

Thinking about next year’s projects

Currently mulling over what 2026 will look like. More to come…

Simmering on the back burner

Who am I? 👩🏻‍💻

G’day, I’m JL. I write love letters to the future, most often in the form of romantic science fiction and fantasy (also called “science fantasy”). From here, you can check out my books and stories and keep up with my work via Dot Club (my nerdy, slow, low-noise email newsletter).

By the way, this is a Now Page. Here's how to make your own.
