Uploading Amz A+ content was a little easier this time. It remembered all my modules. 2 of the 5 marketplaces could auto-detect the image text, so you didn't have to type it in (saves time!) 3 of the 5 you still needed to do this for every module. But improving!

Epic meet cute:

When you believe you're saving a lost dog from a crazed fire mage (who turns out to be the local fae prince slash fire chief) and he thinks you're trying to eat his dog. 🐕💕

Is it your fault that you happen to shift into a twenty foot dragon in your beast form? 🐉 No, it is not!

My husband came home, and said, "Well, it's August after all." 😂 (I married a good one.)

Kat Kinney @katkinneywrites.bsky.social · Aug 14

Drafting each book on paper takes me longer, but I also love it because the process of writing is also a form of stress relief for me. Drafting each book and finishing each chapter brings me joy. They take me 6 months to complete, but that's okay. I love that I can do this! 💕📚

#FantasyIndiesAugust Day 4

Fave line in your WIP... hmmm... this one is from chapter 4, which I'm currently working on. Norah is a bit unsure about Ember's enthusiastic plan to adopt the hellhound that followed them home from the Underworld... what could possibly go wrong?😂🐕

quote from Demon Marked by Kat Kinney, which comes out next spring in 2026. “We should probably get him started on a standard vaccination schedule once he’s settled in,” Bryce said, smiling and feeding Bru a cookie. Happy wisps of smoke drifted up from the ends of his fur as he crunched it. She turned to Norah. “Out of curiosity, what do hellhounds eat in the Underworld?”
“Whoever falls behind in your traveling party?”
