Award-winning #author of crockpot PNR romances & cozy mysteries. I like putting characters in hot water to see how strong they are. Like teabags, only deadlier. She/her https://linktr.ee/McKenna_Dean

Frog and Toad looked into a mirror.

“We look brave,” said Frog.

“Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.

I had to look up YKY Holdings to see what it was. A merchandise company owned by Kayne West. As if I would buy anything from them. Now my card is blocked. I'll have to go to the bank tomorrow and get a temp card because the new one won't arrive until the end of the month.

Today alone, I've had someone clone my debit card & attempt to buy $250 in merchandise from YZY Holdings, a phishing email trying to persuade me someone used my credit card to buy a $1400 iPhone, & 2 book scammers & 1 Instagram scammer trying to get me to market with them.

I DON'T HAVE $ TO STEAL

LOL. Another scammy email simply lifted my byline from instagram like I wouldn't notice...

"Hey McKenna Dean/M.K. Dean,

I just discovered your account on Instagram and was really impressed by your writing skills in Crockpot paranormal romances & cozy mysteries."

Oh honey. When you're drafting your scammy AI generated email to try to persuade me to fork over money to be featured for a fake book club meeting, at the very LEAST you should read over your email and correct the <insert date here> clause.

Marvellous review for All Of Us Murderers at AAR.

"a masterful blend of mystery, romance and suspense that is delightful yet nail-biting in the very best of ways. It is, without question, KJ Charles at her best" it says here 🥰

All of Us Murderers by KJ Charles

All of Us Murderers is a fabulous mixture of murder mystery and gothic horror, a superbly crafted homage to the gothic novel that expertly captures the essence of the genre while at the same time havi...

So I went to your wish list but I can't figure out how to have the items chosen delivered to you instead of me. I've ordered off the wish list but the option to send it to you isn't one I see. 😔

Whew. I feel this way and i'm just on the periphery. No where near the epicenter. Yet.

"There just isn’t enough time. There’s only what we manage to make of it—what we build, what we protect, what we remember to carry to the car. The gas mask. The snacks. The question we forgot to ask. The name of the person taken." My latest.

I, for one, will not be shifting to the new app. I've had a lot of fun on TikTok. I've made a lot of new friends & I was *finally* starting to see some traction on my books with that platform, unlike all the others.

They've already got my data. But I will not be providing the new overlords content

As predicted: “Oracle [founded by Trump ally Larry Ellison], Andreessen Horowitz [founded by Trump/Thiel ally Marc Andreessen] consortium will control 80% of TikTok…” 9/16/25

Ellison & Andreessen also funded Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover, so this is kind of like capturing Boardwalk & Park Place. 1/

Thank you! I suspect I forgot to brush the top with olive oil before baking but it turned out surprisingly well!

You’ll now be able to get an updated coronavirus shot in every state without a prescription, according to the American Pharmacists Association.

CVS and Walgreens have stated you won’t need to attest to any underlying conditions and the questions will be removed from their online booking system.
