A 🧵of my books that you can buy and own (without spending money at that one book site if you're irritated with them right now)

A grid picturing four book covers for REVENGE ARC, MY APOLOGIES TO TANYA GRACE, THE DESERT ISLAND GAME, and THE LOREKEEPER all by Cat Voleur

I am feeling less and less comfortable watching Blumhouse movies these days over their AI policy. But statements like this from the actual creators help a lot on a film by film basis.

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

Thank you!!!

Having a book advertised in Rue Morgue is a literal dream come true! Thank you so much to Slashic Horror Press 🖤

I am finally settling in from con season, and ready to re-tackle social media. Sorry in advance for the flood of updates coming from me today.

Please be patient with me as I try to get back into the swing of things and catch up on messages 🖤

Cat Voleur @catvoleur.bsky.social · 23d

I've decided to take a few days offline.

I've been promoting/marketing more because I am trying to get more serious about my writing career, but I feel like my algorithms need a small reset 🖤 💚

Gonna come back later this week, hopefully with a strategy that works a little better for me.

Cat Voleur @catvoleur.bsky.social · 26d

CJ is panicking because it is National Hug Your Boss Day and she knows she's gonna get squished.

Cat Voleur @catvoleur.bsky.social · 26d

All set up at TBR CON

It’s not the *most* optimal shed layout but it’s the most optimal that is console friendly 😅

Those corners can be tricky

Today is National Video Game Day.

While I'm not ready to say that my current WIP is *inspired* by Stardew Valley, I can say that I think the vibes will really hit for anyone familiar with this shed layout (shoutout to my fellow console players, also, as PC sheds can be more optimized!)

In amongst all the other cool things I get to do at TBR Con this year, I shall get to HAND DELIVER my two latest Covered in Darkness books 🥰

Cat Voleur @catvoleur.bsky.social · 28d

Reminder that my STANDALONE horror novella, ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE 4: HECK HOUSE is available. You can read it in a single sitting and it's perfect for Spooky Season.

Con season is actually insane because I have LITERALLY moved cross country with less stuff

Cat Voleur @catvoleur.bsky.social · 29d

As I work on finding a single day in September that isn't swamped (or when I'm not in the car) to release my latest Covered in Darkness book ... I figured I may as well remind everyone to pick up the previous installations of the series as well 🥰

Cat Voleur @catvoleur.bsky.social · Sep 9

I am holding out hope that THE LOREKEEPER will arrive in enough time for me to bring it to TBR Con this weekend!

SO excited to see all my friends down in the south and come home with a ridiculous amount of books 🥰

For international Literacy Day, I wanted to share some of the books that were a big influence on my debut, Revenge Arc 🖤

🦇 Dracula
🩸 Misery
📖 House of Leaves

Would love to hear from you all what classics in your genre you feel have influenced your work the most 🖤

Cat Voleur @catvoleur.bsky.social · Sep 7

Today is Buy A Book Day!!!

It's a great excuse to treat yourself and support some indie authors 🥰

Cat Voleur @catvoleur.bsky.social · Sep 7

Since I know not everyone has the funds to Buy A Book on National Buy A Book Day, I figured this is a great time to remind everyone that THE BAD THING HAS ALREADY HAPPENED is available through my KoFi and Itch as a Free/Pay What You Want.

So now you have no excuse not to treat yourself to book.

Today is National Read a Book Day.

I HIGHLY suggest indie horror for this occasion as there are so many novellas/novelettes that can easily be devoured in a sitting.

Below are some of my shortest titles if you're interested in checking them out 🥰
