In black scripty font and centered at the top reads: #FridayKiss. In a black, serif font and centered across the image reads: “That might be the first nice thing you've said to me in eighteen years,” Cole said. “Yeah, well, don't get used to it,” I said. “Wouldn't dream of it.” “I don't know what else to say.” “It's a day of firsts, isn't it?” Cole said. “You said something nice to me, and now you're speechless.” The word speechless is in white. At the bottom in black serif font: ©2021 Bad Company: Almost Like Magic, book 1, by Jill Corddry
Image has a pale pink background, growing to a darker pink heart shape in the middle. Swoopy glittery gold lines emphasize the heart shape.

Image has a flaming heart as a background, in deep reds and oranges, but the color has been muted so the text an be read. In red scripty font at the top left reads #FridayKiss. In black serif font, centered reads: Cole stood in the doorway, deep lines creased his forehead. Worry burned in his eyes as he caught my gaze. I wanted to give in. Like I’d almost done before we were interrupted... But I couldn’t focus on him right now. (the word BURNED is in red) ©2024 Jill Corddry Almost Like Magic, book 3

Image has a white background. In the lower right corner is a picture of a golden browned hand pie. Black text is in the center of the image and reads: I circled the kitchen again, offering compliments and holiday greetings as I helped myself to freshly baked buns from the closest tray, then grabbed a still-warm hand pie. ©2021 Jill Corddry All text is from Against the Wind: Almost Like Magic, book 2
Happy #PIDAY everyone! Are you celebrating? I'll be making an apple pie in a bit here. If you've made something already, please share a picture!!! If not, let me know your favorite pie.

Image has a black background. From the upper right corner, bright sunlight streaks across the middle toward the lower left corner. In the upper left corner, in dark yellow scripty font reads: #FridayKiss. In white serif font over the image reads: Wind snapped against the protective plastic draped around the lower section of house. We all jumped, our nervous laughter echoing through the empty hallway. Dust glittered in the bright sunlight streaming through the windows. My heart raced. I was scared, yes. But I was exhilarated. Alive. (an excerpt from a work in progress). © Jill Corddry, Almost Like Magic, book 3
Image has a pale pink background that gets progressively darker pink toward the middle. An open glittery gold heart takes up most of the middle of the image. In black text reads: Please join us for #FridayKiss Each Friday, post a favorite snippet from your work in progress March 8, 2024 DRAPE All writers and genres welcome! https://www.facebook.com/groups/fridaykiss
It's #FridayKiss time! This week the word is DRAPE... I only had this one choice so far since Almost Like Magic book 3 is only about 8000 words so far.

Image has a pale blue background with snowflakes and white glitter fluttering upward from a open book. The book is seen from the side, page-edge and its pages are slightly wrinkled and yellowed. The cover is red. Overlaid in black text reads: WHERE TO FIND ME @JillCorddry in large text. Under that is the logo for Instagram and the words: Book snippets, Editor Dog photos, behind-the-scenes writing stuff, and other fun photos/the logo for facebook and the words: Book updates, memes, sneak peeks, and other newsy stuff/the logo for Threads and the word: Me geeking out about other books, my author friends, book-ish conversations, and writing updates or snippets/a graphic of a blue sky and the words: Book snippets, occasional conversations with other writers and creatives (not on here as much)
I'm on some, but I can be found lurking around the other socials too! Here's where to find me and what I'm up to in all the places. Hope to see you there! I'm jillcorddry pretty much everywhere.

Image has a faded background. Snow covered ground and a single, bare, snow dusted tree are in the forefront. Pine trees, also dusted with snow, cover a mountain in the background. The sky is a very washed out blue. At the top middle in blue font reads: #FRIDAYKISS. In black text reads the following snippet: One tear dripped down my cheek. I sniffled and wiped it away. “Doc?” Hollow’s brow furrowed. “Maybe we should get you inside…” “You still hurt?” Cole demanded. He was at my side and ushering me through the door before I could even mutter an excuse. © 2024 Jill Corddry, Almost Like Magic, book 3
A day late for #FridayKiss, but yesterday got away from me. This was the only use of this week's word: DEMAND.
#indieauthor #fantasyauthor #fantasyindieauthor #almostlikemagic #booksnippet #sneakpeek
Image is a pale gray to darker gray gradient, from top to bottom. The faint image of a human face screaming as though with a sheet over it, is visible just right of center. In black font over the image reads: Glass shattered overhead, followed by a scream icier than the Wyoming winters of my home. The chant of an exorcism spell rose above a peal of maniacal laughter, courtesy of an amorphous creature that was nothing more than furious energy filled with the desire to cause pain and destruction. © 2021 Jill Corddry, Bad Company: Almost Like Magic, book 1
Though our temps have risen above the teens, I'm still cold from last week! So you get this #snippet from book 1...
#writers #readersoffantasy #indieauthor #fantasyindieauthor #urbanfantasy #readmybook! :)
Image has a background that's pale pinks, lavenders, and blues, with faint glimmers of creamy white bubbles and hearts. In black text reads: “Pretty good at figurin’ stuff out,” Cole said. “Yeah, and I’ve proved that I’m good at it too. More than once,” I snapped. Mikey loudly cleared his throat. “Personally, I think both of you totally suck at figuring anything out.” He paused, gracing each of us with a pained glare before rolling his eyes. “But man, she’s right on all counts. She knows what was taken, and you damn well know she’s mot gonna stay out of it. Might as well work together from the start. For a change.” At the top in a scripty font is #FridayKiss in purple. At the bottom is © 2024 Jill Corddry, Almost Like Magic, book 3.
This week's #FridayKiss is TOGETHER. Didn't have as many in my WIP as I thought I would. This was longer than I usually post, but the sentence with "together" needed at least a little context!
#indieauthor #fantasyindieauthor #writer #writingcommunity #readers
Image is the cover of a book. The background is glowing, dark red, brightening to orange in the middle, and fading to black at the bottom.

All text is in white. At the top are the words: Six intertwined stories of magic, love, and secrets. The title--Soulless Mates--is in the middle. The author's name--Jill Corddry--is at the bottom.

Image has a pale gray background. © Jill Corddry, ALM 3, 2023On the right is part of a black cauldron with curly legs. Magical-looking electric blue mist pours from the cauldron. In back text reads: As my hands grazed the edge of the cauldron, a clap of energy hit me so hard I was knocked backwards. Everything inside the shed shuddered and shook, like a heavy boulder had been dropped. Waves radiated from where I sat, fading as they raced further and further outward, until finally I couldn’t see them. All text is from Almost Like Magic, book 3, by Jill Corddry (a work in progress and as yet untitled) ©Jill Corddry ALM 3, 2023 #FridayKiss
This week's #FridayKiss word is INSIDE...

My Almost Like Magic series has gotten a lotta love recently (thank you if you've given it a try!!) but ironically my cozy fantasy collection about love, hasn't gotten any this month.

Image has a textured look, like thick paint, fading from red to orange to flaming yellow. In black text reads a quote from Almost Like Magic, book 3, by Jill Corddry: “It almost sounds like you want to go through boxes of old Kelly family crap,” I said. “I’m very nosy.” Cole stamped his feet against the hard packed ground. “And it’s freezing out here, so how’s about it?” “I’m certainly not going to turn down the help, but it’s not much warmer in there,” I said hesitantly. “Then we’ll just make our own warmth.” Cole laughed, then realized what he’d said. “Shit, no! That came out wrong. Working will warm us up. That’s all I meant and—” I bit back the laugh until my throat hurt. “Dude! Relax. I knew what you meant. That was really, really funny, though.” #FridayKiss is in the lower left in dark red text. In the lower right in black text is ©Jill Corddry, Almost Like Magic, book 3
This week's #FridayKiss is "warmer" and I actually had it in my WIP!!!

Image has a wintery background with a light dusting of snow on a wooden table, pine boughs and red berries adorn the left and top.

Image has a rustic background with rough wooden boards in the back, lined with pine cones and festive white holiday lights and silver beads. The foreground is a rustic white wooden table and sitting on it are three ebook readers, each one with a different book cover displayed on the screens. The books are all by author Jill Corddry
It's #SmallBusinessSaturday! Did you know I started my own LLC before I published my first novel? I created Hodag Publishing, LLC in July 2021 as a way of controlling all aspects of my stories, from the covers to the content.

Image has a washed out, almost water-color-like, nature scene. The sky is a pale, washed out blue, with puffy clouds. A stand of pine trees makes up the center of the image. And a field of dried grass, almost like straw, is at the forefront. At the top, a scripty font in purple, reads #fridaykiss. In a black serif font, centered on the image reads: “This is The Underworld?” I asked, stunned. “It’s beautiful.” Completely not meaning to, I looked directly at Thaddeus. He graced me with a smile. Is he…proud? Of what? Of his realm? Or that I complimented it? And which reason did I want it to be? A text is from a WIP by Jill Corddry, © 2023
This week's #fridaykiss is MEANING.
I haven't used it much, but this is from my current #WIP, a #fantasyrelling.

Image has a black background with a muted flame coming from the bottom and extending most of the way to the top. Over the image, in white text are the words: As I worked, I was almost able to forget that my jaunt to Hell had been anything but a weird dream. I wasn’t cut out for adventures. Not any more. Not even if I couldn’t technically die from one again. It wasn’t worth it. All words are from a NaNoWriMo work in progress by Jill Corddry and shared for #FRIDAYKISS ©Jill Corddry 2023
This week's #FRIDAYKISS is even. This is an excerpt from my #NaNoWriMo2023 project.

Image has a black background with purple steam rising from the bottom, forming a heart at the top. Over that, in white text, are the words: Stupid romance risotto. Just because some couples who’d had blind dates at the Lovegood Café and had coincidentally all ordered the house specialty—a bowl of mushroom risotto, intended to be shared—had fallen madly in love and gotten basically immediately married, suddenly the simple dish had become a thing. Text is from Soulless Mates, by Jill Corddry, copyright 2023
Thought I'd share a little snippet from my newest release! The #cozyfantasy takes place the night before #Halloween, so it's the perfect read for this time of year.

Image has a white background. In the lower right is a martini glass with a black stem. Red liquid splashes out of the top. In black text are the words: Swallowing the impulse to imbue the beer with a minor hex, Liv filled the pint glass and passed it to the scowling vampire, flashing a falsely sweet grin. "Need an infusion of B-pos or are you always so pissy?" #FridayKiss Text is from Soulless Mates, by Jill Corddry, 2023
#Sweet is this week's #FridayKiss and (since I don't have a current WIP) I'm using a line from my brand new release: Soulless Mates!!

A cinnamon sugar crusted apple cider doughnut sits on a brown paper napkin, which is on a red-and-white checkered table cloth. (the doughut was delicious)
Smiling woman with red hair wearing a green hoodie stands in a pumpkin patch. The sky behind is pale blue with wispy white and gray clouds. A corn maze is in the very back and barely visible.
Apple cider doughnut and a pumpkin patch! Now it feels like #fall has properly begun!
