JEMMA'S BLOG

Inkfeather Pages

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.

COVER & BLURB REVEAL — DEATH & VISIONS: BROKEN SIGHT (BOOK 2)

After the launch of Book 1, I’m excited to finally share the cover and official blurb for Broken Sight, the second book in the Death & Visions series. If all goes well, it should be arriving towards the end of this year. This book picks up six months after the Calamity Theatre case and throws our protagonist straight back into Edinburgh’s shadows — where politics, power, and the truth are becoming harder to separate. Here’s

Writing Retreat at Loch Lomond ✍️✨

From Tuesday afternoon through to Friday morning, I joined twelve other writers for a writing retreat on the shores of Loch Lomond. I arrived the day before, which gave me a head start and an extra day of writing before the official sessions began. The loch was beautiful, even in December. Cold, yes, but atmospheric in a way that made the whole experience feel special. A storm swept in from Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing wild

Cold Water, Warm Words: A Weekend at Loch Insh

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

???? October Update: Blindsided Novella & NaNoWriMo Plans ????

It’s been a long road back to the page, but I’m finally writing again—and I’ve got exciting news. The Blindsided novella is coming this November. After months of trying (and sometimes failing) to rebuild my writing habits, I’ve finally found my rhythm again. Some days were a battle of willpower and tea (yes, caffeine in the form of tea is my creative fuel), but the stubbornness paid off. I’m thrilled to say that Blurred Lines,

Weeks 16+17 progress – Broken Sight

Weeks 16+17 was mostly Broken Sight. It was a little slow the first week, but the second week I was away with work and productivity ground to a halt for various reasons. Though I will say the break was nice, and Stationeers is an addictive game. I’ve made it to nearly the ¾ mark of Death and Visions book 2 and it’s going great. A few changes are going to be needed, but the logic
