@sadirastone.bsky.social gave us GROW for this week's #fridaysmooch and I've got a tasty one for you from book 4...

Share your snippet below! #booksky #booksnippet #fantasybooks #almostlikemagic
Image is a book snippet graphic. The background is a photo of pile of sugar dusted doughnuts. At the top in a retro black font reads #FridaySmooch. The snippet is in a bold black serif font and reads: Cole took another doughnut from the box, now down to only six. We both glared at Mikey who was licking frosting from his fingers, another doughnut ready and waiting in his other hand. “What? I’m a GROWing boy!” I laughed. And couldn’t stop. Tears ran down my cheeks. It wasn’t even that funny, but I flung my arms around him. “Don’t ever be anyone but you.” ©2026 Almost Like Magic, book 4, by Jill Corddry

It's the vernal equinox here in the northern hemisphere so, happy first day of spring. And to celebrate, @sadirastone.bsky.social has given us BLOOM for this week's #fridaysmooch.

(I admit, this isn't exactly the kind of bloom she probably meant... 😂) #booksky 📚💙 #booksnippet #almostlikemagic
Image is a book snippet graphic. The background is a gray-ish white. At the bottom is a red and orange 'bloom' floating upwards. At the top in a scripty bold black font reads: #FridaySmooch. The snippet is in a bold black serif font and reads: A BLOOM of crimson stained the collar of his t-shirt. “Huh? Guess those ghost dogs can scratch after all.” He pushed my hands away when I tried to check for the source of the blood. “It doesn't hurt. You can check it out later. Even take my shirt off for you.” “I can hardly wait.” I rolled my eyes. ©2021 Bad Company: Almost Like Magic, book 1

It's #fridaysmooch time and @sadirastone.bsky.social has the perfect word for us this week: SPRING

It's perfect because the fourth book in my #almostlikemagic series takes place at the start of spring! I couldn't resist giving you a teaser for the new book!

#booksky share your 'spring' snippet!
Image is a book snippet graphic. The background is a softly blurred photo of spring grass with a tiny white flower in the center. At the top in a scripty black font reads: #FridaySmooch. The snippet is in a bold black serif font and reads: Deep afternoon shadows stretched across the still-frosty driveway. The SPRING weather was a volatile, capricious trickster. Yesterday I’d peeled off layer after layer as the day wore on, only to bundle up by the crackling fireplace later that night. Today? I was shivering in my heavy coat and boots as I hurried to the front door. I loved every unpredictable second of it. ©2026 Almost Like Magic, book 4, Jill Corddry

📚💙 This week's #FridaySmooch word is SQUEEZED! Thank you @sadirastone.bsky.social (and all writers should join in and share snippets!)

This is from book 1 of my #AlmostLikeMagic series...available in paperback, ebook, and through #KindleUnlimited
Image is a book snippet graphic. The background is muted, blurred twinkle lights in a warm white. In a scripty font in the upper right corner reads: #FridaySmooch. The snippet is justified to the far left and is in a bold black serif font, and it reads: Cole glanced over and SQUEEZED my hand once. “We’re a team. In this ‘til the end. Promise you that, princess.” Who decided when we reached the end? I wasn’t sure I was ready for something so final. At the very bottom and centered is the copyright: ©2021 Bad Company: Almost Like Magic, book 1 The cover is mostly black with faint silvery spider webs along the left side. In the center of the cover is an oval surrounded by a silvery curlicue frame. Inside the frame is the arm and partial torso of a Caucasian woman holding a ceremonial dagger, aimed slightly outward. She's wearing a plaid flannel shirt that's rolled up just above her wrist, displaying a band of tattoos around her wrist, and there's also a red, eight-wheeled spoke tattooed on her right index finger. In the background are purple and green mists and the silhouette of a crow in a bare tree. The title—Bad Company—is at the top of the oval in a sort of spikey white font. At the bottom in a more loopy font reads Jill Corddry Almost Like Magic, book 1

Maybe not quite the definition of REST that Sadira Stone intended when she chose this week's #fridaysmooch word, but I love this quick interaction between Stella and Cole. (take 2 for bad link)

Image is a book snippet. The background is a white ceramic coffee mug sitting on a light wood table against a wall that's a pale gray. Steam is curling from the coffee mug. At the top in a black scripty font reads: #FridaySmooch. The snippet is in bold black serif font and reads: Cole sat up as I turned to go. “Got any more of that?” he asked, motioning to the coffee cup in my hand. “Get your own. I'm not a waitress. Or a maid,” I finished as he flipped a dark green blanket off himself and onto the floor. He stood and stretched, revealing his stomach—and the better part of a six-pack—then picked up the blanket, folding it into perfect quarters before placing it on the back of the couch. “Wouldn't dream of calling you either. Honestly, you kinda look like the walking dead. Wanted to know if you'd left the REST of us any.” ©2021 Bad Company: Almost Like Magic, book 1

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 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

This week's #FridayKiss is HUSH...turns out I only used it this one time across both #AlmostLikeMagic books, but I used shush a lot. Funny how different books lend themselves to word use.

Image is a book snippet. The background is black with the abstract hint/outline of wings in grays, white, and deep blue in the center of the image. In scripty what font at the top reads #FridayKiss. Toward the lower 2/3 of the image is the snippet, in bold white serif font: My voice lowered, barely more than the HUSH of faerie’s wings, the air between us heavier, as if it carried a truth we didn’t yet understand. ©2023 Against the Wind: Almost Like Magic, book 2, by Jill Corddry (Hi! That's me!) Image has a pale pink background, growing to a darker pink heart shape in the middle. Swoopy glittery gold lines emphasize the heart shape.

In bold, black serif font, centered, but mostly to the right reads: Clouds of dust carrying the ancient aroma of neglect puffed around my feet as I moved forward along the dark hallway.

In white, bold serif font, centered across the image reads: “I'm sorry, did…did you seriously just claim my life is in danger and I have to leave Eight-Fold?

A trait that runs in their family.” The Hill brothers muttered words of protest, but Bobs shut them up with a SINGLE flick of his hand, never taking his eyes off me. “That's enough.

He turned around and stared angrily at me for a good ten seconds, and I knew better than to argue about sharing a room, no matter that I'd saved him from being smote by a god. ©2021 Bad Company: Almost Like Magic, book 1, by Jill Corddry (Hi!

Image is a snippet from a book. The background is a creamy white with faded playing cards around the top and bottom. Centered at the top in a black serif font reads: #ManCrushMonday Under that and centered in the same black serif font is the snippet which reads: I spread my winning cards across the bed and leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees. “Do I need to pants you or can you remove them yourself?” I taunted and winked at him. “Think I can manage,” Cole said. I bit back a sly grin as he hopped off the bed and stepped out of his jeans, but couldn’t hide my smile when I saw his rainbow and clover boxers. It wasn't like he had any place to hide extra cards anyway.

A blessed #Lughnasadh!

Each book in my #AlmostLikeMagic series takes place around one of the sabbats. I started with All Hallows because it's my favorite and I'm writing my way around the calendar. This means Lughnasadh will be book 7 of 8...

Guess I'd better get busy #writing !!! #fantasybooks
Image has a bright summery background that looks like streaked paint or watercolors. It starts as a bright yellow at the top and radiates downward and outward into a deep orange. There are several graphics around the edges of the background, beginning at the upper left and going around clockwise, those items are: three ears of yellow corn, partially in the husk; a chunk of orange carnelian, a gemstone; a yellow sunflower blossom with two green leaves; a loaf of bread; three beeswax candles, unlit; a pile of gerber daisies in orange, yellow, pink, and red; a stalk of dried wheat. In a black, curly (but still easy to read) font reads: Blessed Lughnasadh August 1st

Been a while since I posted a snippet from my #AlmostLikeMagic series! So here's a hint of the puns from book 1! I'll try to do a #Tuesdayteaser (is that a thing? should we make it a thing?) every week.

www.amazon.com/dp/B09K6X2828

#booksky 📚💙
Image is a book snippet graphic. The background is white and on the far left is a stream of water going all along the side all the way to the bottom. On the far right in bold serif font is the snippet that reads: "I'm going to hit the shower." "Now what did it ever do to you?" Cole said, his voice flat, but a hint of a laugh colored it. "Runs a little too hot and cold for my taste," I snapped back and got an appreciative groan from Mikey. Even Cole flashed a smile. Image is a graphic with reviews from Bad Company: Almost Like Magic, book 1. The background is a teal-ish blue with points of light in white and pinky purple. Some are fine points of brightness and others are softly muted. On the far right is the book itself. The cover is mostly black with faint silvery spider webs along the left side. In the center of the cover is an oval surrounded by a silvery curlicue frame. Inside the frame is the arm and partial torso of a Caucasian woman holding a ceremonial dagger, aimed slightly outward. She's wearing a plaid flannel shirt that's rolled up just above her wrist, displaying a band of tattoos around her wrist, and there's also a red, eight-wheeled spoke tattooed on her right index finger. In the background are purple and green mists and the silhouette of a crow in a bare tree. The title—Bad Company—is at the top of the oval in a sort of spikey white font. At the bottom in a more loopy font reads Jill Corddry Almost Like Magic, book 1. The reviews are on the left. There are three and they say: "Perfect for fans of Supernatural, enemies to lovers, and found family stories." ~Amazon reviewer, five stars (represented by five yellow emoji stars) "The monsters and mythology are amazing, the plot is breakneck and satisfying." ~Amazon reviewer, five stars (represented by five yellow emoji stars) "Juicy, scary, and fun all at the same time! I highly recommend!" ~Amazon reviewer, five stars (represented by five yellow emoji stars) At the very bottom on the right reads: Paperback, e-book, and Kindle Unlimited, plus the Amazon logo.

End of the week and it's time for #FridayKiss! This week's word is WANDER and y'all...My characters apparently wander a lot! I had many options this week...

#AlmostLikeMagic #fantasybook #fantasyreader #fantasyseries #urbanfantasy #readmybooks
Image is a book snippet. The background is kind of a very very pale pink with playing cards all around the edges. Centered at the top, in bold black loopy font reads: #FridayKiss. Centered in the image in bold black serif font reads: I intentionally lost the next couple games, sacrificing my other sock, two leather holsters, and my shirt. His eyes WANDERed to me more often than his own cards. I was getting to him. But his waning attention to the game made it more difficult to lose on purpose. New plan. If I couldn’t lose, then I’d win by beating the absolute socks—and shirt, jeans, and underwear—off of him. The alternate idea took root, unleashing the competitive spirit I usually kept locked away. I could have him down to nothing but skin in three games. Maybe four. ©2021 Bad Company: Almost Like Magic, book 1, by Jill Corddry (Hi! That's me and my book!)

📚💙 How long does #summerween last? It is all summer? Only July?

If you're looking for those spooky, cozy vibes year-round, #AlmostLikeMagic has that and all the cookies too! And though Soulless Mates isn't officially part of the ALM universe, they're totally connected in my mind. (1/2)
Image is a 'please check out my books!' graphic. The background is a pumpkin orange with four plastic spiders marching up the middle. Four e-book readers are evenly spaced across the graphic, with two on top and two on the bottom. Top left has the cover of Bad Company: Almost Like Magic, book 1; upper right has the cover for Against the Wind: Almost Like Magic, book 2; lower left has the cover of Wild Spirit: Almost Like Magic, book 3 (newly released!); and the lower right has the cover of Soulless Mates, an intertwined collection of six short stories

It's #FridayKiss time! This week is PUZZLE and I was surprised that I had it in ALM 3 twice...but I liked this one a little more.

#AlmostLikeMagic #urbanfantasy #urbanfantasybook #urbanfantasyseries
Image has a background that is half pale orange and half all white puzzle with a single piece not yet added. In dark orange scripty font in the middle reads: #FridayKiss. In black text, in a serif font, reads: His smile was a puzzle I could never completely solve, not since he’d come back into my life—not as the quiet, mischievous boy I used to know, but rather a man who was slow to laugh.
