Hello peeps! I'm loving the new look of the blog. A very special thank you to Veronica Scott!
Today, I'm celebrating the 1-year publishing anniversary of Crash Landing. This story started with a conversation with one of my editors. For those who don't know my stories, I write alien romances, and many of my aliens tend to have blue skin. In our conversation, my editor and I were discussing the proper shade of blue for my aliens. And here are ten fun facts about Crash Landing (originally shared on Kacey Hammell's blog):
- I had no intentions of writing this story as I was working on two others at the time.
- It was one of my editors, Kate Richards, who suggested I write it. Well, she demanded it in her inbox that night. LOL It took me a little longer than that to write it. The story idea started with this line, “…indigo is for space aliens. Turquoise is for underwater hunks.”
- I submitted the story 20 days after I started writing it.
- All of the characters’ names are Latin based. Cael = space, Mare = water, and Tara = Earth.
- Cael’s home planet, Narien, came from me staring at my bookshelf, trying to think of a name. The books that caught my attention were The Chronicles of Narnia, and Gini Koch’s Alien series. Narnia + Alien = Narien
- Originally I thought of making this just an M/M story to take place in the water, but Tara fought her way in there and brought the story to dry land.
- While editing this story, I found out one of my overused words was “pain”. Well, Cael did crash land after all. I’m sure there’s going to be some pain. LOL
- I had to use the washroom really bad while writing one scene. I’m sure you’ll figure out which one, though I didn’t hear any thumping on my bathroom walls.
- There is plenty of hot alien sex in this story without needing tentacles or alien abductions.

Thanks for the kind words about the refreshed blog! Really enjoyed learning all the fun facts behind the book today...
Thank you, Veronica! I have yet to write a story as fast as this one.
Happy anniversary to Crash Landing. I'm continually amazed at how quickly you can write, Jessica, with all you have going on in life. You really make the most of your writing time!
So fun to learn the background of the story. Love the Latin names!
A great post, for a great book!
Happy anniversary, Crash Landing!
Thank you, Diane! I'm surprised, too. Summer was a bust, but hoping to catch up now. :)
Thanks so much, Melisse! Not all of my characters' names have meaning behind them, but these three do. :)
Hugs, Layna! Thank you! :)
