Happy New Year from Jessica L. Tate!


Hello everyone and happy new year to all!

I hope that this new year (and new decade!) brings you everything.

I'm popping in to say hello again! The last time I posted on here was January 1st 2018, so it's been a long long long time. I hope all is well with you.

There isn't anything to report from me at the moment, but I am genuinely hoping to have something new to share. In the meantime, let's talk the new year!

My word of the year is RECLAIM. As in take back my life. I've had some curveballs thrown at me causing various frustrations, but I'm taking this time in the new year/decade to RECLAIM myself.

I wrote a novella last year that I thought I would be publishing as Lilly Avalon (my pen name), but once I finished it, I realized it would be better as a Jessica L. Tate book.

Speaking of which, all of my books will now be published as Jessica L. Tate. I decided to combine both my names (maiden of Jessica Sankiewicz and married Jessica L. Tate) and use only one.

Anyway, I'm going be spending my first day of the new year/decade relaxing and making plans for the year!

Take care! Talk soon!

Happy New Year and Resolutions!


Hi everyone! Happy 2018!

I'm extremely happy that it's finally 2018 and that 2017 is over. I didn't feel super productive the last two years, but I'm pumped for the new year. I have so many goals in mind, writing-wise and otherwise. I also have a few resolutions in mind for the year, too.

Let me tell you about everything!

I don't have a lot on the docket for writing as Jessica; most of my writing goals are for Lilly Avalon. But I do have plans for one more poetry compilation and a possible short story. I haven't set any dates in stone for either of them, but I'm looking at April again for the poetry, and the short story will be finished in between my Lilly projects.

There is a possibility of potential other projects in the works, but I can't guarantee anything at the moment. I have an old idea that has come back and cleared up some of the missing pieces recently, but with all the other stories I'm working on, the aim is to reach for it in 2019 instead.

Every year I like to have resolutions in mind, or at the very least a new mindset to help me be a better person. There are SO MANY things that I've been thinking about which ones I want to focus on in 2018. Here is what I've narrowed my list down to:

  • Learn German (I started early 2017 and then lost my momentum)
  • Get healthier (I gained a lot of weight and haven't been eating well)
  • Be successful (in everything from my author career to eBay)

It's all simple stuff, but I'm determined to accomplish these things in 2018 and not allow anything to get in the way, especially myself! Sometimes I sabotage myself when things get difficult, but I know that I can't keep doing that. I know that 2018 is going to be my year!

Anyways... I'm so glad to be ringing in the new year with you! Hope you're having a great start to your new year and I wish you luck on your resolutions! :)
