Inkfeather Pages is where I share the messier, more honest side of writing life — drafting, revising, the odd garden-fatigued Sunday, and everything in between. Expect notes from the desk, behind-the-scenes glimpses of works in progress, and the occasional ramble about what it actually takes to finish a novel.
Jemma Weir is a Scottish indie author of paranormal romance and urban fantasy with bite: magic is messy, love is fierce, and family means everything. Fantasy was her first love. Now she writes the kind of stories she always wanted to read — gritty, heartfelt, and just a little unhinged.
Why author brand design needs a system, not a mood board: how I built one consistent visual identity that flexes across series, site and social.

This weekend I did something I never thought I’d have the nerve to try—wild swimming in water that hovered around 9 degrees. And not just once, but twice. I joined Alice from Swim Wild and half a dozen other women at Loch Insh for a weekend of cold water dips and creative writing workshops, and I’m still buzzing from the experience. I’ll be honest: the first swim nearly broke me. We started at the Loch
December is upon us, and as I prepare to close out the year, I find myself in the midst of an exciting whirlwind—getting ready to move house and restarting work on my Seer series. Embracing Change and Celebration. Purging and Packing ???? Early next year I’ll be packing up and moving house! It has given me a fantastic opportunity to declutter, and I’ve embarked on a mission to purge the house of things I don’t

Polar express and it’s a wonderful life and not on streaming channels and I did not look soon enough to find when they were on the TV. So I will keep my eyes out for them during the year and try to catch them then. Violent Night and Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special were my favorites by far,
