End of Winter Update
February’s almost done, spring’s nearly here, and here’s a brief overview of how things are going with the Inheritance of Magic series!
Inheritance of Magic #5 is coming along well. It’s currently sitting at around 25,000 words and making good progress, and I’m expecting to reach the 30,000 word mark by the end of the month. 30,000 is about the 1/3rd point for my books (they usually come in at ar

A Judgement of Powers (An Inheritance of Magic, #3):
"I'm really enjoying this series, and Jacka is doing a great job in exploring the class and economic aspects of this magical world in a way that most writers gloss over. (that's not usually a bad thing; unless you nestle it at the heart of your story,"

You're right, the main use of aurum is making sigls. However, making a sigl from aurum is much harder than making one at a Well, and doing it efficiently requires a purpose-built facility called a shaping chamber. Generally the only people with shapi

of
An Inheritance of Magic (Inheritance of Magic #1):
"Delicious.
But let's get the other stuff out of the way first. I loved the Verus novels, so I had to expend some energy trying to give this one the space it needs, especially since it's NOT related to them. Inheritance of Magic is a brand new UF. That" Read more of this review » |

An Instruction in Shadow (Inheritance of Magic, #2):

I can’t make that girl you’ve got your eye on fall in love with you, and I wouldn’t do it even if I could. I don’t have a psychic hotline to your dead relatives, I don’t know if you’re going to be successful in your career, and I don’t know when you’re going to get married. I can’t get you into Hogwarts or any other kind of magic school, and if you even mention those stupid sparkly vampires I will do something unpleasant to you.”

Thanks for accepting my friend request. I just finished reading Taken and I thought it was the best in the series so far. I'm eagerly anticipating Chosen.
Merry Christmas and thanks for accepting my request. I read Fated & Cursed within the last week or so and i've just started Taken. Absolutely awesome.
I'm having the best time with Alex. I agree with Jim Butcher, Alex and Dresden would be great friends. Wouldn't it be fun if they had the chance to work together.
