A quick check-in, #Supernatural style. ;) #amwriting
Good evening, everyone! 🙂 I did one of these a while back as a little writer-to-writer present for my friend Liz Long. This one is a quick update and a shout out to my new (and some old) friends is the #SPNFamily Support Group on Facebook. These ladies enjoy Supernatural as much as I do, …
Elizabeth York, the Asshat Thief, and Why Every Artist Should Want to SCREAM Right Now
My Facebook went BANANAS this weekend. And with damn good reason. I am careful what I speak about online because I think we have a real problem with outrage culture right now, but this is something that NEEDS to be addressed. Not just for authors, but for artists in general. Elizabeth York is a name you …
Guys, I couldn’t put it down!!! #bookreview #RoyalSavage by @VictoriaAauthor
I picked this up a few weeks ago. It must have been on sale or something because contemporary romance purchases do not happen very often on my Kindle account. I remember seeing the cover on Facebook, and once I was done wiping the steady stream of drool from my chin, I one-clicked that shit. Yesterday, …

Emotionally preparing for tonight’s @GameOfThrones, @FeliciaDay’s book, & Forsaken Angels
‘Sup bitches? I’m spending my day creating, bouncing back and forth between working on Dance With the Devil and creating some new book covers.

I missed my blog post yesterday, but I promise it was with good reason!
I know, I know. I missed yesterday’s post, but it’s because I was up until 3am typing out a 4,000+ word blog post for the Pure Textuality PR blog. I decided to share it here as well because I know a good portion of my audience here on the Bloggy Blog are writers as well. …
The great, big #Supernatural Rewatch #SPNFamily #SPN @cw_spn
I started watching Supernatural a few years back. At the time, I didn’t know many people who were into the show. Then I admitted to liking it online and found out that the #SPNFamily is staggering. It doesn’t matter the social media platform, it’s easy to find someone who is as big a fan as …
Our Facebook groups look like three little ghost towns. Join us???
Good afternoon, party people! I’m hard at work doing the PR thing today, but this evening, I will be writing. I know I have some writers in my readership. Anyone interested in sprinting? Let me know. I’m thinking 5pm-7pm EST. I have a sale pending on one of the premade covers I did for Pure …
I have been a seriously busy girl today! #amcreating
Okay, so I am really late in the day getting this blog post up but its because I wanted to be able to include some samples. Today was the start of me offering premade covers through my author Facebook Group. If you’re an author and you’re interested in any of these covers, I’ve provided the …
It’s a Big Bloggy Update
I’ve been a bad blogger and haven’t posted nearly enough, but I promise this is the turning point. lol I have written a blog post to end all blog posts, or, more accurately, to jump-start my blog again. What you’re going to find in here is an update on the life of me in the …
Calling all #urbanfantasy & #paranormalromance lovers!!! I’m looking for betas! #uf #pnr
Good (really late) evening! Quickie post for all of you tonight. I need to build a solid team of beta/writing team peeps who are willing to commit to and stick with a series. My team up until this point has been kind of a “floating” team. Each title was beta’d by good people I respect, …
You Know You’re a Writer When… #amwriting
Happy Friday!!!!! This is a fun one for all my writer buddies out there. 🙂 I have to focus my attention elsewhere this morning (today is my LAST DAY at the day job and I’m finishing up the program for tonight’s From Helios to Hollywood podcast), so I dont really have time to write up a long …

I’m such a coffee snob…. #noshame #coffeesnob
I’m a coffee addict. It’s no secret. Nine times out of every ten you see me, I’m probably clutching a coffee cup like a frikkin life raft. I’m a serious coffee snob, too, but not in the way one might expect. And this is where I bear my soul and make a confession to all …
To all my humans with girly bits….
Late night greetings, humans!!! I saw this on Facebook and it was so amazing, I just had to share it here. This one goes out to all my fellow bitches! 😉 If you’re a dude, share it with a special chick in your life. Every woman worries about her “flaws” and every woman should know …
If you need me, I’ll be over here killin’ some peeps. #amwriting
Good morning, you sexy mofos! I’m excited this morning. I have nothing to do today except WRITE. I’ve busted out the Dance With the Devil manuscript document and I plan to spend my entire day writing between calls at the day job. Luckily, the benefit of working this close to Christmas is all the NORMAL …
Sylvia Day is a dirty bird! @SylDay #amreading
Good morning, bibliophiles. I’m writing to you today with two large cups of coffee sitting in front of me and the distinct groggy feeling you only get from an all-nighter. To add to the ambiance, I have this guilt hanging over me, as though I spent until 2:30am peeping through the bedroom window of one …
Dance With the Devil Teaser #1
Okay, I’m going to start dropping these all the way up to the release of Dance With the Devil. Here’s the first one. 🙂 Enjoy! Demon hunting sucks. Dez and Vegas decide to take the summer off to relax and be a normal couple for once. They quickly fall back into their old routine, mostly …
Sweet mother of hell, I had a lot more to say than I had planned.
Greetings, humans! How is everyone on this fabulous Monday evening? The sun was shining today (not here, but I’m sure it is somewhere), the birds were singing (again, not here, but somewhere) and my coffee was absolute perfection (that last bit is actually very true….mmmmmmmmmmmmm). In truth, around here, it was rainy and unseasonably warm. …

Never Be Afraid To Let Your Geek Flag Fly!
Greetings, humans! This afternoon’s post is going to be a little bit of verbal vomit, but I promise you there is a point. It’s been a few weeks since I did a real good blog post and it’s time. As you all know, on top of writing and Pure Textuality PR, I still work a …
Are you going to be at Rock & Read in Las Vegas???
I announced on the Pure Textuality PR Blog a few weeks ago that I was stepping away from The Novel Experience and Authors After Dark. Well, ladies and gents, I am sorry to report that my stepping away includes my role as an author. However, as of right now, I’m only doing one signing next …
I FINALLY pulled the trigger, and now I #amwriting.
I did it. I finally did it. I changed the way JMGregoireBooks.net looks. I was actually going to write a big long blog post about the change and what I’ve been up to for the last week over on the Pure Textuality PR site, but I think I’m going to save it and get some …

Plagiarism and The Shit That Happened on #TheWalkingDead (#SPOILERS #TWD)
This weekend was a little bananas. Between the plagiarism debacle and the shit that happened on The Walking Dead, my head is still spinning. To those who have NOT watched last night’s episode of TWD, no worries, I put in a huge banner to let you know in advance before we start spewing spoilers, so …
*grumblegrumble* This @ThatKevinSmith post brought to you by my foul mood…
Yeah, I’m in a bitchy mood, I admit it. My anxiety B.S. is cranked up to 11 and I can’t focus on anything very well at all. I’ve got a lot going on at the moment, and although none of it is earth-shattering, it feels as though it is because that’s just the nature of …
Aaaaaaaaaand I’m back………and nothing changed.
Yeah, so that grand plan to completely redo my website??? Um, no. I did what I had in my head, let it sit overnight, and promptly changed that shit back to the fabulousness that it was prior to me getting the bright idea to dick around with it. I might want to change it someday, …
Under Construction….
Hey party people! Just a quick check in to let you all know that I will be doing a little bit of tinkering tonight on the website. I had an idea to give something a try, so if you go to the site and it looks like a cyclone blew through, that’s why. 🙂 I …

Open Letter to Shia LaBeouf (@thecampaignbook)
Dear Mr. LaBeouf, Shia? Do you mind if I call you Shia? My name is Jena and I’m writing this open letter with a heavy heart. I want to start this off by saying this is not to bash you, shame you, go all preachy on you, tell you what you’re doing is wrong, or …

#amNOTwriting today….
Good afternoon, everyone! Just wanted to pop in super-quick. I’m not doing any writing at all today because I’m busy drowning in boring licensing exam hell for the day job. The nice thing is it’s all online for this particular exam. It’s just going to take me all day long, and maybe even into the …
Today, we’re going to gab about @JimNorton. #comedynerd #amwriting
<– To be clear, this is 100% true. Especially today because I’m sick, and yours truly is the WORST patient in existence when ill. Good afternoon! This post was supposed to go live about a week ago, but my life got crazy, and then I contracted what can only be described as the plague. Today, …
Almost there!!! #amwriting #DanceWiththeDevil
I need someone to be excited with me and I don’t really have anyone right now. What I need is a sounding board – a writer who has read my shit, likes my shit, and would be willing to allow me to bounce ideas off of them when I’m stuck on writing new shit. I …
Busy day today….
Today I am trying to get my Regulatory Compliance LOMA course taken care of (for the day job), so I probably wont be doing too much writing during the day. However, I should have the LOMA passed and in the bag by the time I leave work. That means I will be back to writing …
My Love/Hate Relationship With Conventions, and How to Make Them Work For YOU!
Authors and convention directors alike seem to have a love/hate relationship with conventions and book signings. Convention directors are killing themselves to fill the seats while authors are spending a lot more time complaining about disappointing turn outs. Well, I know some secrets, peeps. I’ve seen some stuff, I’ve heard some stuff. Most importantly, I’ve …
My blogging plan got screwed today, so this is what you get instead. #amwriting
Hey party people. Today is one of those days where I’m 100% thoroughly exhausted. It was an early morning into work, one of the worst phone calls I’ve ever taken, and then just way too much busy for one day. Just a genuinely shitastic day. Sigh…. I have just eight work hours left to …
The GoFundMe Scandal, and Jena’s pulling the #outrageculture card again!
Good afternoon, you sexy bibliophiles! What a frikkin week, right?!?!?! It felt like Monday lasted for about thirty years, and today is not too far off.

Hey, man. *shifty eyes*
Good evening, my loves! I’m all geared up and ready to write for the evening. I’m going to go for as long as I can keep my eyes open. I was up late last night writing, and too many late nights are kicking my ass, as I mentioned in my post yesterday. What’s everyone else …
