Decided to try my hand at royalty-share audiobook recording again... Had to fill out who my intended audience was for my novella Rebels & Queens ... and just... yeah.

My family and I have survived one shutdown, we'll survive another. However, because everything feels so uncertain, I raised my eBook prices from the 99 cents sale I had indefinitely left them on. Sorry if you missed out on a deal but I'll have more again later.
But to make up for it, I did surprise release my little spooky short story. If you like ghosts and haunted historic homes, this one is a super quick read (And a lil spicy)

Rebels and Queens! The fast paced novella of resilience and telling the patriarchy where they can stick it by Kate Prada

#meetthecharactersmonday #novella #booksky #romancelandia #indiebooks
Rebellious horse girl, Maci, just got her heart broken–but you should see the town bicycle’s nose. Good thing her best friend and cousin, former troublemaker, Bailey is there to bail her out of county lockup. Bailey thinks the two of them should get away to relax while the small town finds something else to gossip about. Trouble is, the Pinterest worthy glamping retreat may be a cover for something far more sinister. Straight-laced Jacoby has been assigned to an elite FBI task force. His team is closing in on the latest extremist militia suspected of kidnapping when a wild-eyed girl atop a loose horse crashes into him–literally. Securing her back at his base of operations proves to be troublesome as he, and the militiamen, quickly learn: You can’t keep a cowgirl hostage on a horse farm. Tropes: Wild Hearts, Horse Girl, Daring Escape, Kidnapped, Self Sacrifice, “We Can’t Leave Her Behind!” Refusing to comply, Law Enforcement, Small Town Gossip, Country Girl / City Boy

We moved in in July and my productivity has tanked. Trying to adopt a come Hell or Highwater mentality when it comes to getting these dang books out... it's slow going to say the least but at least I finally carved out a little writing space #writer #writersofbluesky #writing #indieauthor

Ok author hiatus has been long enough.
Hi, I’m Kate
✨I write suspense in a romance trench coat (diet spice & spice)
✨I speak fluent sarcasm, movie quotes, & dark humor
✨I dwell in a constant state of exhaustion
✨I have lofty publishing goals but zero respect for deadlines

All Kate Prada ebooks are 99¢ for the summer or available on KU. Gritty yet graceful FMCs and MMCs who put up with their shenanigans.

So the meta 🏴‍☠️ allegedly removed copyright pages from all the books to avoid any ai clauses, speculating that they knew what they were doing.

At least my authors note was included when they stole, then scraped my book.

Watch out for those elevators 😘

If nothing else, it gives me a giggle 🤭 But regardless, normalize putting pants-💩ing cūrsēs in the front of your books

Meta can kick rocks.

I know book 🏴‍☠️ is a thing but this is obscene.

The link to check the database for your books is in the article

Ima go scream into the void now

#readers : I’m at the thrift shop and I already have a few books (that I’ve been on the lookout for) in my hands. I can get one more. Tell me - Agatha Christie or Anne Rice. Been wanting to try both and can’t decide

You gotta search for the little glimmers of joy where you can find them. The fact that I can get the new sticker I just uploaded to Redbubble in holographic finish will sustain me for the rest of today

No matter what you read, keep reading 📚 💜

The article is behind a paywall but I believe they let you read one or two for free. If your local library has old New Yorker issues it would be worth checking out.

Several months ago I stumbled across a 12 year old article from the New Yorker Magazine that I cant stop thinking about. This quote has lived rent free in my head ever since. Reading has always been rebellion, especially for women. If you’re up for a treasure hunt this is where you can find the article in print

Yesterdays book haul from what is quickly becoming my favorite used bookstore

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not Steinbeck’s biggest fan. But I’ve been thinking a lot about The Grapes of Wrath this week. So I grabbed a copy at the used bookstore. This just fell out of it

Starting this one today. Because who doesn’t want to learn about this history of book binding with human … outer layers?

Found a used bookstore to get my steps in at today. Even though it was a collection of little sheds and outbuildings and it was 24° I still spent an hour and a half and a whopping $13 there

Thursday #shelfie

I dunno why movers hate bookshelves but I have never had one survive a move. So I came up with a wooden crate system. Although, I need like 4 more crates…

Yesterday a few people asked about the term #DietSpice I made it up after being adopted by spicy romance authors to describe my fade to black with tons of sizzle.

Black Rose is a riches to rags rom-suspense found on KU if you need a rec
