Publisher & Author
Darci Dobbs is the owner of Tempest & Jay Publishing.
As a publisher, I format the books (make them look pretty) before marketing them out to the platforms and bookstores you know and love. Besides this, I am actively involved with the creative process, whether that is brain-storming a potential plot hole, final (no truly…the final) edit, and also making sure my author gets the right amount of tea and support to finish a book.
Besides all of this, I also have an alter ego.
As an author, I go by Tempest Wright. I look forward to sharing my characters with you soon, especially the McKarthy brothers that are the stars in my historical-fiction epic series. But I also indulge in fantasy retellings, trying to find a new way to tell timeless stories. My novella “The Chosen” will be released with our Daydreamer’s newsletter, where we discuss all things, books, writing, recipes and new upcoming releases. It’s set to be released very soon!
Now, back in my publisher capacity, if you wish to contact me, my email is below. We are closed to new submissions.
Editor & Author
J.J. Sutherland is Tempest & Jay’s editor, and this publisher’s partner in crime. She has a flare for sentence structure, a strong understanding of punctuation, and a borderline obsession with the semi-colon.
She also claims experience as both a legal and fiction editor, with a genuine passion for the characters Tempest & Jay is ready to roll out, she’s the best editor a publisher could ask for.
But J.J. Sutherland’s talent for creating characters is equally impressive. Her debut novel The Once and Forgotten Thing is Tempest & Jay’s debut novel, and it’s a thrilling start to her series. You’ll fall in love with her characters while getting lost the way she expertly weaves a story.
Illustrator and Artist
Racheal Carl, or RC-San, while not a full-time member of our team, is a free-lance artist who took on the challenge of illustrating our upcoming series.
Her work speaks for itself, and she’s left these authors in absolute awe! Our books showcase her fantastic work, but you’ll also find her hand in our character portrayals. She takes our characters and brings them to life with her art as much as we do with words.
Find a gallery of her artwork for our books and characters on Pinterest, but if you want to check out her personal work and more of her art, feel free to follow RC-San on Facebook.
