This tag was created last year by Wild Blue Wonder Press to celebrate the launch of Novelists in November, and since I never got around to doing it then, I saved it and I’m eager to do it now! Let’s get started. ONE: What project + book are you most...

I have been meaning/trying to get this post out for ages, and I’m bound and determined to do it now, even if it means messing up my usual posting schedule. 😜 But I think it will be fun!! As you probably know, in February my debut novel released. It’...

Previously published on Faith D. Cox’s blog. Thank you, Faith! Hi! I’m Katja. Katja H. Labonté, a.k.a. Kats. Don’t feel bad if you can’t say my name. I promise you some of my own family members and 99% of my friends can’t say it. It’s actually Scandi...

While poking about the internet looking for the creator of another tag, I found this tag, which was apparently created by Kate @ Melting Pots & Other Calamities. (I don’t know either of those bloggers, so use your discretion if you pop on over!)...

Well, my dears, it’s day 6. The last day. I’m gonna miss this delightful party, and all the excitement and recommendations and vibes and comments and connection (but I’ll also appreciate being able to catch up). Still, there’s always next year. 🙂 An...

Guys, we have one day left. I know, I know. But I’m not gonna sit here and weep. We’re gonna make the most and best of today!! And in fact, I have a fun surprise for you somewhere in here, so keep reading. (If you can’t tell, I’m exhausted as I write...

Well, y’all, it’s Thursday, and this is a day I have been anticipating for a while, because it has an amazing genre. More on that in a minute. 😉 (And don’t you dare scroll ahead. *pins you with my best Big Sister™️ glare*) I would love to hear how y...

Welcome to day THREE of Five Fall Favourites, everyone! Past me (August 26th me) wonders how present me (September… *checks calendar* 24th me) is doing and how well I’m keeping up. Today present me works at the library for 5 hours and present me also...

Welcome, welcome, one and all! We are back for day 2 of the FFF ’25. I don’t know about you, but I am absolutely having a BLAST reading everyone’s posts and tracking down all the recommendations. I don’t have half the time I’d like to consecrate to t...

Y’all, it’s day one of the FFF!!! I am so so so so excited. We’re on the TENTH year of this party!!! That’s right; Five Fall Favourites was started in 2016 by the wonderful Rebekah Morris and Kate Willis Hoppman and since then, every autumn a bunch o...

In all frankness, I really shouldn't be here. But I'm avoiding cleaning my fish tank (yes, the snails are still alive & thriving without the slightest shadow of a guilty conscience) and it's astonishing how productive one can be when avoiding a d...

It’s 10:54 a.m. as I write this (what time will it be when I actually send it??), and I’d like to state I’ve been very productive. ✅ I updated, signed, and sent an editing contract (after realizing I signed an unfinished copy where I forgot to fill...

As I write this, it’s a balmy July evening, and we are rejoicing in the coolness. I don’t know about you, but we’ve been having real scorchers here, and I am so grateful for the break, if only for one day! Unfortunately, I haven’t been outside yet (t...

I know, I just wrote y'all a newsletter, but this one is worth you checking out, for 2 reasons. 1. My book is participating in the Summer Multi-Author Giveaway hosted by Kylie @ The Film Director's Wife! There's 2 huge bundles with over 30 parti...

Good afternoon, lovelies! I've neglected this newsletter shamefully but my blog hasn't fared much better (we're existing solely on tags at the moment) so just count your blessing that I remembered you. ;P And yes, this is a short newsletter because I...
