While very few people have read my first novel (I pulled it down for editing… Kate is not an editor, as my long time readers know very, very well), most people who read this blog are at least passingly familiar with my shorts, novellas, and webcomic. I have a few themes that all unite […]
Spent the weekend being beachy. As in, I went to the beach. Unfortunately, my super-sensitive baby skin is my undoing. I’m having a nasty reaction to the sand lice bites. My feet are swollen, red, and itchy. And I don’t handle anti-histamines well. So, I’m going to finish writing the next Chelsea Childling story, […]
Chapter one is starting it’s wrap up. But you can still get in on the action!
I’ve been cutting back on my writing obligations. Just because I can bust out thousands of words a day, doesn’t mean that I should. So here’s a blog I wrote for some friends. I’m going to bake some bread.
One of the hardest things for any writer to do (at least the ones that I’ve associated with) is to let someone read a rough draft.

Chelsea is frankly one of my favorite characters: a totally normal thoroughly non-magical human monster hunter. And writing her has been just a ton of fun. And her supporting cast, Amber and Jackson Hawk, should […]
Where in, Kate relates theater to writing a book. Again.
I was fairly excited for this book. Finally, a series tie in that didn’t pretend to be a story. It was even called a prologue! And who doesn’t love a little hard sci-fi? Ultimately, my enthusiasm felt misplaced. Hard sci-fi is a delicate balancing act between the present day and the future. Star Force didn’t have that. […]
Yes, today only, you can download the first Uncommon Animals book… for free! Get your web comic spoilers up front and no charge. Also, we have a comic up. As for me, I have been getting some writing done. Some being a subjective word, but with school getting out, and us being in a new state, […]
So, here we are again, Friday. And I found an indie story to review. I loved the title, so I dived in. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy the water. This should have been an easy read and an easy review. This story is just chockful of stuff that makes me happy. Vampires, mutants, a wry sense […]
