a paranormal women’s fiction novella
Echoes of Ink
Book One of The Seasoned Scribe
June was looking for a midlife reset.
Instead, she found a magical destiny that shaped another world.
And left hers in ruins.
Empowered midlife fantasy fiction
Jen (JB) Lassalle
JB (Jen) Lassalle is a writer of paranormal women’s fiction and midlife fantasy fiction. She likes strong females who are more than just a bit awkward, dimensional males who roll with the punches, and found family friendships that triumph over nuanced bad guys you love to hate.
Jen is a New Orleans resident. The city, and the surrounding areas, serve as a rich backdrop for a world where magic exists and mystical creatures are not only real, but live among us.
When Jen isn’t writing, she’s hanging with her family or friends drinking coffee. She likes lifting weights (no, really), loves swimming, and plays video games. She’s a borderline obsessive crafter. And, of course, she reads.
Jen and her husband have two kids. One is an avid competitive swimmer (which sucks up all their weekend time). The other is a daydreamer like Jen who plays the Mega Man theme on his guitar and can solve a Rubik’s cube in under two minutes.

Walk Into It

Soul Mates
I mute my phone and shove it into my pocket, next to my lipstick and the extra pencils I keep to hold my blond, messy bun in place. “Rebecca?” He’s early, and he materializes so quickly that I fall through the dusty brown brick wall behind me. “Oh, sorry! I’m still...
