ANNOUNCEMENT: “Time and Tide” to be published with Wattpad

“J.M. Frey’s TIME AND TIDE, pitched as bi Outlander, about a young woman who is rescued from a plane crash by a dashing sea captain in 1805, and while trying to find her place in this unfamiliar time, falls for a historically famous authoress, to Margot Mallinson at W by Wattpad, for publication in summer 2024.”

I have been waiting for 56 weeks to share this news!

For those eagle-eyed readers who think the description of this novel is familiar, you’re right. Time and Tide is the revised version of my self-published sapphic romance A Woman of the Sea/The Woman Who Fell Through TimeYou read stories of authors who get their selfpubbed books picked up by a traditional publishing house and re-released with professional editing and a new cover, but I honestly thought the odds of it happening to my work were astronomically low. Imagine my surprise when, almost exactly a year ago, I got an email inquiring about the rights from W by Wattpad!

I’ve really enjoyed working with my editor, Margot, and the marketing team behind the title so far. Their ideas for the cover are fantastic, and we’re already cooking up some other story ideas for our next book together. I have this summer to work on the edits, and I’m thrilled to be bringing you a sleeker, awesomer, and sexier version of this novel.

I can’t wait to share the updates with you!

I’ve been re-releasing my backlisted titles over the last year with my personal imprint Here There Be. I’m happy to announce that in advance of the re-release of my 2015 erotica novel LIPS LIKE ICE, I will be serializing it on Radish and Wattpad for free.

There will be three short episodes dropping each week, and the complete ebook and paperback will be released in Fall 2021. After that, the free version of the book will be pared back to just an excerpt, so read as it’s released if you want to get the whole story!

Happy Reading!

The Woman Who Fell Through Time

(Here There Be, September 2020)

#TimeTravel #KissingGirlsIsNice #LetsChangeHistory!

Armed with a newly minted university degree and a plane ticket to Paris, Jessie’s plan was to celebrate graduation in the City of Love, kissing as many drunk French girls (or boys, she’s not picky) as she can. Only, she never makes it. When her plane goes down mid-Atlantic she’s pulled from what should have been a watery grave by an intriguing British Naval Captain—in 1805!

Stuck in Regency-era England, Jessie is left with no choice but to enter into the services of the Captain’s sister as a lady’s companion. But she didn’t reckon on the sister being Margaret Goodenough, the world-famous authoress whose yet-to-be-completed novel was the first lesbian kiss in the history of British Literature.

And Jessie’s not just entranced by Margaret’s powerful words…

As their attraction grows, Jessie must tread the tenuous line between finding her own happiness in a world where she is alone, and accidentally changing the future of the queer rights movement. Is Jessie’s duty to preserve Margaret’s history-making book? Or to the happiness of its author, the woman she’s learning to love?

eBook is currently only available through Radish. Paperback available through Here There Be Publishing.

ANNOUNCEMENT – Hero is moving to Wattpad!

ANNOUNCEMENT – Hero is moving to Wattpad!

Huzzah! My short story collection, HERO IS A FOUR LETTER WORD, is now available exclusively through Wattpad. The collection has been expanded to include more short stories. I’ll be uploading either one whole short-short story, or part of a longer one, each Friday.

You can read the first story and add the collection to your Wattpad Library here. If you don’t have a Wattpad account, it’s free to sign up for and you can delete it at any time.

And keep your eye on my social media, because I’ll be releasing an updated paperback version in the coming year.

About the collection:

Good and Evil. Two sides of the same coin? Or something less defined, something more liminal? Entertaining and always thought-provoking, author J.M. Frey offers a collection of remarkable short stories that explore the grey area of the hero/villain dichotomy in this debut short story collection.

Heroes. Villains. Monsters. Fairy Tales. Myths. Legends.

Who is the good guy, who the bad, and who gets to decide which is which? After all, ‘hero’ is just another four letter word.

ANNOUNCEMENT – “A Woman of the Sea” is swimming over to Radish Fiction

ANNOUNCEMENT – “A Woman of the Sea” is swimming over to Radish Fiction

Hello, friends and readers!

Things have been pretty bonkers for me for the last five days! I’ve barely slept, but for VERY GOOD REASONS!

Starting on June 5th 2020, I’m publishing A WOMAN OF THE SEA exclusively on Radish Fiction as “The Woman Who Fell Through Time”.

You can either read the novel an episode at a time (one episode unlocks at a time) or you can use coins to pay to unlock the whole thing at once. Read it here, and get two free coupons to unlock episodes early: https://bit.ly/fellthroughtime

This all happened very, very quickly, and I appreciate that this is coming as a surprise right in the middle of #PrideatWattpad for those of you who may be reading it on Wattpad right now. However, I am extremely excited to introduce an edited and revised version of the story to a whole new group of romance fans.

The first five chapters will remain available on Wattpad, but to continue reading the story past that point, you will have to download the Radish Fiction app (available for free through the iStore or GooglePlay) where you can wait for new chapters to unlock for free, or purchase coins to read it immediately.

You can also get two free chapters if you head here.

If you read up to chapter five on Wattpad and download Radish, start reading from Episode 9 on Radish as the chapters are slightly different there.  This does mean that I will be un-publishing the rest of the novel on Wattpad.

Also – keep an eye on my social media for information about a print version. The paperback ought to be out before the end of 2020 (though I won’t commit to a date just now, in case that changes), which means that very soon you’ll be able to bring Jessie and Margaret home with you.

I know some of you will be disappointed by this decision. I appreciate that, and am sorry that I have made you unhappy.

As much as I know that some of you would have preferred for me to keep the book here, I regret that there was not offered the opportunity to keep the book on Wattpad and monetize it. I do have to take any opportunity to monetize my novels where I can, as I am a full-time author and this is literally what pays my rent. This is why I elected to also licence a print version of the book at the same time; that way you’ll have the option to reread it as many times as you like, as often as you like.

Thank you so much for your support and your love of the novel, and your many wonderful comments, and your enthusiastic joy at Jessie and Margaret’s love story. I hope to see you over on Radish, and if not there, I would appreciate it so much if you could all write a review of the book on Amazon and GoodReads when the paperback version is released. That would mean the world to me.

Happy Reading, and Happy Pride, one and all,

–J.M. Frey
