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.

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

How Visions, Grit & Emotional Truth Shape Death & Visions

When people hear “paranormal thriller” or “urban fantasy, “they often expect dramatic magic—flashing spells, shapeshifters, or high-octane supernatural battles. But Death & Visions doesn’t work like that. There’s no wand-waving, no elemental powers, no dramatic incantations. Just Visions. And the quiet, unnerving power they hold over justice. ???? The Supernatural Is Subtle In this world, Seers don’t cast spells—they see. Their Visions are detailed, timestamped glimpses into past, present, or future events. They’re treated as

Why I Love (and Write) Urban Fantasy

There’s something about urban fantasy that grabs me by the collar and doesn’t let go. It’s the genre where magic collides with motorways, monsters lurk behind corner shops, and the heroes are just as likely to wield sarcasm as they are spells. I love the grit, the tension, the way the supernatural bleeds into the everyday — and I especially love the characters who walk that line. Two of my all-time favourites? Harry Dresden and

Edinburgh as a Character: Familiar Streets, New Shadows

Edinburgh isn’t just a backdrop in Blurred Lines. It’s a character. A city of stone and rhythm, of winding closes and wide, watchful skies. It’s beautiful—and it feels familiar. But it doesn’t carry the weight of memory. When Logan Fraser arrives, he’s not just starting a new job. He’s starting over. New city. New department. He’s worked within the Coalition system for years, but London left its mark. Old wounds needed time to heal. And

Why I love reading (and writing) series

There’s something magical about a series, isn’t there? One book can sweep you away… but a series lets you stay. You get to linger in the world, follow characters through more than one adventure, and discover new corners of the same universe. For me, that’s the heart of why I love both reading and writing series: That’s why I love series: they’re not just stories, they’re journeys. How My Books Reflect This I write two

Blind to the World: The Emotional Cost of Seer Power

In Blurred Lines, Seer power isn’t chosen. It’s inherited—and it always comes at a cost. All Seers are women, and the ability passes down through bloodlines. But only one woman in a bloodline can carry the power at a time. For a new Seer to awaken, someone else must die. It’s not a gift freely given—it’s a legacy triggered by loss. And when the power arrives, it takes their sight. Physical vision vanishes. What remains

The Sight That Shapes a Nation: Seer Control and Propaganda

When Seers became the backbone of justice, their influence didn’t stop at the courtroom. It spread. Into media. Into education. Into the way people understand history, identity, and each other. In Blurred Lines, the UK is no longer governed by debate or evidence. It’s governed by Seer control. The Coalition oversees every Seer. And through them, it controls the narrative. What happened. What didn’t. What people are allowed to remember. This isn’t overt censorship. It’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
