Welcome to
Jaunty Seas Publishing
Ahoy Book Lovers,
For as many years as I can remember, I have loved books but more than that I enjoyed making up adventures in my head but I was always too embarrassed to commit the idea to paper. Terrified someone would read it.
The ideas gnawed at me for years wanting to get out but I ignored and did all the things I was meant to do, finish school and get a job.
The problem was I never really found a passion. Over the years, I had found great jobs, worked with amazing people but nothing that touched my soul.
When I faced some health issues in 2022, it forced me to slow down and gave me time to reflect on what I wanted to do. Some nights I could not sleep and the story ideas I had buried started to float to the surface and I began to piece together a story on paper.
That was the start.
Now I have a book almost ready to release and I have plans for several other books. Writing has given me the passion I was missing. I wake every day and want to write an adventure, I want to share my work with people and I want to see others journey too.
So Jaunty Seas Publishing was born as I prepare to release my first book. Over time I hope to make this a full time career and share more stories with you, as well as resources and things I have learned through my journey.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message.
Yours Aye,
Jess

AUTHOR
Jess took years to decide what she wanted to do for a career. She tried it all—retail, civil service, and even corporate—before finally finding her true passion in writing.
Even though she still has a 9-5 job, her debut novel is almost ready for release, and she can’t wait to share it.
With a little bit of luck, one day she might be able to make this a full time career and have the time to write all the stories floating in her brain.
