Hello all!

A lot has happened in just the last few days, but most importantly: I got the line edits back yesterday morning! I have about 8 days to go through the book and consider/implement those edits, and simultaneously pack (the heavy things at least) for my partial move on the 28th. Also I'm getting sick. (I let myself get worn down, it happens).

I apologize for the lack of Azzy and Sariah this week, but I wanted to share the super, and I mean SUPER, rough maps I sent to the cartographer! They will obviously do a much better job than me, but these are the cleaned up versions of the maps I've been working off of for a couple of years now. Patreon will be the first to see the rough maps, and Patreon will be the first to see the cleaned up ones, as well as the upcoming character art (one of which is spicy) .

I'm up to my eyeballs in edits right now, and I can't wait to share the polished book with you. I just hope you find it as enjoyable and well rounded (and hopefully more so) than the first draft.

Under caffeinated,

Jaysea

Thank you for this! The layout of the gate level is super useful!

Dionne

So funny, I have had a completely different layout for hell in my head. Adjusting to this is going to be a challenge 😂

Natasha Ennis

Congratulations on all the big things going on! We are so happy and proud of you.

SoulSilverFox

Ooo the maps are cool especially the breakdown of the levels. Can’t wait to read the book when it’s out.

Hemlock

I already knew I was gunna love this book, and now it's gunna have maps !!!🥰🥰🥰 so excited

Becka Chamberlain

Question with the position of the universal hallway do people who come down from there come up behind the desk instead of infront of it?

SeaYaLater

Yep! People who are coming down from the Universal Hallway are either denizens of the Afterlife, or souls who have already been through Judgement and gotten their Paradise/Heaven/etc.

Samantha Johnson

Please please please take care of you first all of this is beyond wonderful and exciting but take care of you first

Beleth Freya Grace

This is really fuckin cool and especially helps more with the visualization of the Belle's surroundings. Side note: Your handwriting is REALLY similar to mine 😂

Ipiu Gnd

I love it, I really can't wait to see it finalized 🥰

Lisa Letts

Feel Better! Take care of yourself!

Thornblade

Super excited about all of this and proud of all you're doing! Live your dream and get well soon!

Makayla

We are on your timeline hon take care of yourself first💜 love seeing behind the scenes of the books

Carrie Brooks

Residential levels- does your rank (for lack of a better term) have anything to do with what level you’ll probably live on?

Sarah Holden

Rest while you can, I'm so excited for you and the new opportunities you have! 💛

Mona Heidt

Love your Vision! But I shouldn't have take a look at your Maps... in my mind it all looked different and now my brain is super confused 😅🤣 Please take care of yourself 💜

SeaYaLater

Not at all. The best analogy I have is that each residential level is like a county, and where demons live is purely a matter of preference!

anthony elliott

If it's like the draft you have on here it's going to be an amazing book

JustSurvibing

*Jaysea drops a little piece of HB Lore* Me: Good soup. 👌🏻

Lisa Marie

I always pictured the hellp desk mirrored to what she has it however looking at the layout it makes more sense

C.D.

So not only do I love maps in books, but having these layouts helps me so much in visualizing certain scenes you wrote and stuff, so thank you for sharing. Can i ask if there will also be a map of the universal hallway with the main realms and the front deathk?

Jeff James

Love the maps. Take care of yourself and get well. The author who has gotten me interested in fantasy tales cannot deprive me of sustenance for long periods. For some reason, I pictured the training levels being below the residential levels, but your design works quite well in allowing legions being sent to the levels and the gates easily and quickly when they are needed.

Bri Walker

Love the maps! I had been struggling a bit with the gate layout, so this helps a lot!

Van Brewer

Those are great, amazing what a little sketch can do for the imagination. I’m seeing a very Tolkien-esque / D&D kind of map in my mind.

Tyler Davie

I'm very excited about maps, but please make sure to get some amount of rest in between all the craziness!

Michele Berg

So cool to have even a rough sketch of Hell! Thanks, Jaysea, and get some water and rest. At least edit with your feet up!

Momo-chan

I’m so excited for you!! And I’m excited for the maps!! And character art!! I’m just really excited!!

Zachary Hahn

Very excited for the book and all that is to come rest up and hope the move and line edits goes well

Alki

Yay!!!! Exciting af!!!!!!! Go girl! Hope you feel better ❤️❤️ and good luck with the move!

Casey

Any chance we can get some baby ruby and sharkie artwork?

Cra-Terra Barnett

I love that the side view shows redemption is still the primary focus.

Sydney

Perfection

Embeth Arreyn

Thank you so much for the maps!! They're so incredibly helpful; the whole time the series has been going, I've been picturing the Gate/Desk area backwards, and struggled to piece it all together. I'm so happy to be on the right page now! And I love how similar these are to the rough maps I sketch for my writing 😆 Just author things haha

Johanna Henson

Is it mean of me to also want a sketch of the universal hallway? Like I want to see the entrances to the other relms and paradise after reading the book. Thank you for the visual, helps a lot especially with the tiktok series

Kayla Bhadra

Hope you feel better and take care of yourself!

Maiyin

thank you for sharing, this gives such a good insight to how Hell is working!

Robyn Jennifer

This is super wicked!! Thank you for sharing, good luck with the move I know how rough that can be.

Kayla Cox

Take your time. Take care of yourself. We appreciate everything you are doing, but don’t burn yourself out, like you are doing now. Stop it!

danielle stires

So cool! Thank you, good luck on moving, and please take care of yourself. You are what's most important sweetie.

Ashen Nightingale

I love that the desk is one long on and that they don't have individual desks, I'd also see the desks each having a trap door but if they wanted they could open all of them at once

Annje Ciarrocchi

Sounds like a very stressful time. No wonder you feel under the weather. Hoping you have a safe partial move with no hiccups. Can't wait to own your book. I love your characters so much!

Ashley Keyes

I love that the side view looks like a dress. At least to me!

Yvelde Wilkins

This is amazing, thank you Jaysea! Goodluck with the edits and the move, big projects to take on, but we know you got this! Double up on vitamins C, D, Zinc and don’t forget Selenium.

Troutwaxer

Hi. I hope you're taking care of yourself, and editing/moving is going well, but if you've got a couple minutes I have two questions. First, what is "The Hearth." Second, how far across is the upper chamber which contains the Hellp Desk? Like from the 'Stairs to Levels three-nine' to the 'Universal Hallway entrance?' I've been imagining a mile or two but I suspect it's considerably shorter. I'm also imagining huge lines with lots of switchbacks like the lines at an amusement park.

Daniel

Hey good luck with the move love all the stories with azzy and the book you got me back into reading and I'm so thankful for that and has also inspired me to write a story based in that 'universe ' I don't know what to call it

Daniel

Will do its my own spin on what my after life would be like but I'm no writer so keep in mind when it hits

Poppy Fletcher

Good luck with the move, i love all your work!!

Allison Beattie

Have we heard about The Hearth and I'm just blanking on it? I feel like I kinda remember hearing about it but I've slept since then 🤣

Ida Grönberg (LittlePeanut)

Idk why but I always thought of the check in place a bit like an old bankteller desk, a long desk where the demons stand next to eachother and that the soulds can't get behind them cause the desk would be with their backs to a wall and when they go to the entrances to hell it would be the wall infront of the line. Kinda like the desks on either side of the room at Gringotts. The help desk was placed kinda across from this long demon desk. No clue why that's how my mind worked but it meant I was very surprised by the map. I think the bankteller thing was cause she talked about how the demons danced behind it to make her laugh when a real bad soul was ruining her mood. It's still great, it just surprised me that I got it so wrong. (This whole comment would have a lot of emojis, all positive or pondering, but I'm on the computer XD )

EvanAlexJames

I love that hell’s layout is of a dress…one a southern belle might wear

xBigDaddyReaperx

So my wife absolutely adores your content, as do I obviously, but she has no idea that we've been a patreon, dying (heh) for the release dates, and when that time comes, would it be possible to sign a copy for her?

Kristin Bonnette

I looked at the layout for the Levels and immediately blurted out “it’s a woman” and at first I laughed, but I thought about it and really, I’m not wrong. Like yeah, it’s the dummy thing that people use to sew / design dresses and outfits with, but it’s all a metaphorical woman, because from top to bottom you have the psychological hardships of women (also just people in general) then as you get closer to the “waist” people get more hateful, and women tend to hate themselves more in regards to their figure, and then you get the training and admin and all the shit that goes into keeping Hell and a woman’s body RUNNING and then under that you have the residential levels, where people live, which is basically the uterus of hell. So yeah. It’s a woman. It made sense in my head, I hope I made it make sense to whoever bothered to read it. 😂

Sarah Thompson

I always wondered how the residential levels worked! Explains so much!

Sosa Ralston

Haven't been on in a hot minute but do we have a release date for the full book? I am absolutely dieing to read the whole thing!!
