Hello Friends,
How is September treating you? We're doing peachy here. Quite literally. Our author's fruit trees are bent down to the ground, loaded with apples, almonds, peaches, pears, and nectarines. The weather is lovely, the fields are an ocean of gold under clear blue skies. Fall in the Midwest is utterly spectacular.
In celebration, we're having a homecoming here of sorts, but not the dance type. Our author may be coming home far sooner than she thought—from her day job. It's not the timing she planned on, and while sales have been encouraging since the release of Playing with Fire, transitioning to living off your art can be a bit nerve wracking.
It also means she gets more time with kitties and us Supers, and more time to write our stories. There are still so many to tell, and we could use your help.

And we are over the moon with how the cover for Black Kat VI: Star Crossed came out. Kat and I look quite smashing, though she still had to stand on a box due to her vertical challenges. The pre-order is up at most online stores. We're shooting for a Summer 2022 release (well, Kat is, with her obscenely over-sized golden gun!) Find out more below.
