Connected and Imminence FREE, October 18th – 22nd

October 18, 2017 By Kat

The image pretty much says it all, but just to reiterate…

Connected and Imminence are both FREE right now, until the 22nd!

Why? I really need some reviews for Imminence, it’s got 1 right now. 1. Most people are afraid to even try something on Amazon without at least 10. Should I have done more of this review asking before the launch? Absolutely. I will learn from my mistakes with the next one. Hopefully. 🙂

So I put both on sale for the low price of free, in case you haven’t gotten around to reading Connected yet, you should really read it first. It makes Imminence all the more better, I promise.

Here’s the link to the series: Click here for the Connected Series page

Not into YA? That’s fine, you can still help me out, I need reviews for Modified as well, especially the second installment. I’m wide on that series, and as it’s only priced at .99 cents, I can’t make those free. But I’ll be happy to send you ARCs if you want, just send me an email at the Contact Me address on the links above.

Please help me spread the word–the more people who download it, the more potential reviews I can get for it. I’ll be posting on FB, Instagram, and I’ve already got a pinned tweet on Twitter. As always, thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy my awesome YA super-powered series!

Imminence is Live!

August 22, 2017 By Kat

Happy Book Birthday for Imminence, finally released to the world! It’s been a little over 2 years since the first book in the series, Connected, but I’m hoping you’ll find it was well worth the wait. 🙂 Imminence is a young adult paranormal romance novel, and it picks up where Connected left off, after Em receives the mysterious phone call from her father. Filled with super powers, a new villain, and a new romance, you’ll love this second exciting installment in the Connected series!

I really love how this book turned out – it was a long writing and editing journey, but as they say, with practice everything gets easier. That is to say, it won’t be another two years before book three, the final installment in the Connected series. Hoping to write most of it during Nanowrimo this year.

Here’s the Amazon URL, it’s on sale for $2.99 for the first week of release, then it’ll be normally priced at $3.99.

Get Imminence Now

Special shout outs to Leslie Lutz, my editor, and Taria Reed, my cover designer. Without the two of them, Imminence wouldn’t have seen the light of day, and I very much appreciate all the hard work they put it into it.

In other news…

I don’t think I made a formal release post for Modified, but it’s also out now and it can use some reviews. It’s a fun, sexy, geeky paranormal novelette, priced at 99 cents. Here’s the URL to go to, it has all the links to the various stores you can purchase it at:

Get Modified Volume 1 Now

I know I mentioned in the cover art post that it’s regular unleaded adult paranormal, but I just want to remind you of that again, since I’m more known as a YA author. Should be pretty obvious from the cover art that it’s not YA, but hey, you never know what people are thinking (which is why I wrote a disclaimer on the product page ><). I’m working with the cover artist, Jasper Yu, on the next installment, which I plan to release next month, aptly named Modified Volume 2.

I’m also working on a YA sci-fi short story that I hope will be included in an anthology AAYAA (the most awesome young adult Facebook group ever) is doing, like the previous one I did for That Moment When. That anthology is still free on Amazon, and in it you can read my horror short, “More Than a Crush.” Click here to check it out.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy Imminence! Please let me know what you think, comments are always welcome. 🙂

New Anthology of Young Adult Writing: That Moment When

December 2, 2016 By Kat

That Moment When is filled with great stories for teens. Why do I think it’s so awesome? Well, I’m one of the 40 talented young adult authors who contributed to it. 🙂 And the best news? It’s now free on Amazon.

It’s like Christmas has come early…

>>Check it out here<<

So I know that my first novel is YA paranormal romance, but those of you who read my blog know that horror is a great love of mine. I decided to venture into horror for my short, and it’s titled, “More Than a Crush.” It has more of the creepy feel of my original deleted prologue, which you read when you signed up for my newsletter. 🙂

Seriously though, I know at least some of the other authors, and their fiction is wonderful. I’m looking forward to reading all the other stories, it’s going to be a blast!

Grab a cup of hot cocoa, kick your feet up, and download what is bound to be one of the best free young adult books of 2016. Then comment below to let me know what you think of it.

Connected and Imminence are both FREE right now, until the 22nd!
