July News for Kaye George

Jul 06, 2025 8:40 pm

Newsletter for July, 2025

I need to get this out here first and be done with it. I’m disheartened and depressed by what’s happening in my country, and I have a lot to say about it, but I won’t say it here. I’ll keep to my writing here, which has been my salvation!

WHAT’S NEW

***I’m thrilled with the response my newest novel, SOMEONE IS OUT THERE, a work of suspense, is getting. It came out in April from Rowan Prose Publishing. I love the cover so much! Check out the latest review: “Very enjoyable read. As a mystery writer myself, I appreciated the skillful way the author kept the mystery going of who could be "out there" to near the end…” by Cheryl Peyton

By the way, if you would like to read it and can’t quite spring for it, feel free to ask your library to carry it. That way, lots more people will see it. If you do that, thanks so much!

If you need to own it (I understand, I LOVE owning books!), all the buy links are here, plus a nice trailer. https://www.rowanprosepublishing.com/kaye-george

WHAT’S COMING UP NEXT

***While we’re talking about that publisher, I need to tell you that you can pre-order the horror anthology that will contain a story of mine. It’s called AFTER DARK, and comes out September 2, 205. https://books2read.com/u/4j7aW2

***One more new thing! If you’re a writer, you should know about a submission call from my other publisher, White City Press, for something new and different. It’s a series of novellas and the theme is Winnie-the-Pooh, but for grownups. All the details are here: https://whitecitypress.com/pooh/

***I’ll appear here tomorrow! https://austinmysterywriters.com/

I belonged to this group when I lived in Texas and they are graciously hosting me. Comments welcome!

WHAT I’M DOING

***Working on the second Comfy Cat mystery, COMFY CAT TAKES A TRIP. The first, COMFY CORNER KILLING, is with White City Press, being edited.

PSST! Here’s a secret! Killer Nashville Newsletter published a short story with these characters, BUT, I decided to change the main character’s name between submitting it and seeing it appear. This came out there 9/13/2024: https://www.killernashville.com/short-stories/the-lady-and-the-diner

If you take time to read it, tell me what you think. AI was on my mind, obviously.

WHAT I SHOULD BE DOING

***Alas, getting more exercise! But it’s so hot! Wah wah wah! How are you doing with keeping in shape? I do yoga, lift weights for my shoulders, walk inside, and…okay, that’s about it. Walking outside would be best. Actually, I’m getting a procedure for my back on Thursday that will help things, and injection in my SI joint. I wish I didn’t know so much about anatomy. I didn’t until mine decided to get messed up.
