My phone charger glitched out, so I wasn't able to post while on the road yesterday in order to conserve the battery. This was taken Sunday night at the pet-friendly hotel in NY. Mac was the first to explore.

After some drama that left my brother looking like he went a round with Edward Scissorhands, we got the cats loaded and hit the road.
The cats are now free to roam about the cabin.

My brother and I are driving from North Carolina to Maine with his two cats. I'm going to document the 💩 out of our journey. There will be so much cat content. Follow along!

Let's talk about book marketing!

Authors, what's working for you? What's not?

Readers, how do you find new books/authors, and how do you engage with authors?

Inquiring minds want to know! 😀 Please share your insights in the comments.

HAPPY INDIE PUBLISHER DAY! 🎉

I knew when I made this graphic that I was going to forget presses and I can't believe I didn't mention @sleyhouseeditor.bsky.social, @neonhemlock.bsky.social and @nefariousbatpress.bsky.social! They should be in here. Consider picking up some indie books today!

Best assistant ever! 😘😘😘

YouTube video by Pa. House Video Benham: Defending the Rights of Autistic People

As the first openly autistic legislator in the #PAHouse, I will continuously fight for the rights of those of us on the spectrum. Don’t let the hateful rhetoric from D.C. prevent you from achieving your dreams! #AutismAcceptanceMonth youtu.be/t0H_4kRPEZc

A grad student. A green card. A two-page memo. That’s all it took. Marco Rubio, Trump’s Sec. of State, used a 1952 law to deport Khalil for defending Palestinians. No crime. No trial. Just speech. This isn’t security—it’s censorship. Who’s next? Full article: www.facebook.com/share/p/19M7...

Psst...cover and blurb for Loyalty & Lies to be revealed soon! This is book one of the New L.A. Mafia duet, and a spin-off of The New Mafia Trilogy. :)

Thank you, Lady Gaga. Your new album is 🔥 and providing a much needed light during these dystopian times.

BOREAL: An Anthology of Taiga Horror Release Day It's here! It's finally here!

It's here! It's here! BOREAL is here! Take a peek at my blog post about the creation of BOREAL that went out this morning and if you haven't gotten yours yet, hop to it! There are so many dark corners of the forest to explore!

Please Read:

If you live in district 24 (parts of east side of Bangor, Veazie and Orono), there is a special House election today at the Cross Center. Democrat Sean Faircloth could use your vote. Democrats hold a slim majority in the Maine House and we need to keep every seat we can!

I'm proud of my governor! I've had the privilege of meeting Janet Mills several times (pictured here with her & my parents at The Blaine House). More people in leadership positions need to follow her lead & stand up/push back. As Maine goes, so goes the nation.

Didn't even know about The Golden Palace.

Every winter, I ask for a flamethrower to deal with the ice and snow, and my ask keeps getting denied by the hubs. WTF? What happened to "happy wife, happy life"? #winterinmaine

60+ year old dude in line behind me at CVS discussing the Super Bowl with another older dude: "I want the Eagles to win so I can see Taylor Swift cry."

Petty Paul is not a Swiftie.

Sending hugs! With the fires, you've been dealing with an extra layer of chaos. Hopefully, February is better.

Love this series! I'm so glad there will be a season 2.

I contracted to write a short story for an anthology, and in true slacker and pantser fashion, wrote the story at the 11th hour. Thanks to my amazing Alpha readers, they proofread and provided valuable edits/feedback in less than 48-hours. ❤️ Story was submitted a day before deadline. #writerslife

Sat down to do some writing. Harriet has other plans.

@katsilvaauthor.bsky.social look what I picked up today at the SoPo Barnes & Noble. :)

NEW IN MY SHOP!
There are hardcover copies of Dead Folk left over from Spooktastic Book Fair and Merrimack Valley Halloween Book Festival. I will not be printing these again. They are special editions, signed by moi. And there are only ten left.
Go git 'em.

Officially ditched X because the musky stench was too much. So, how's everyone planning for our future dystopian society?

Just finished #writing a spicy scene, and...

I'm so proud to be part of this collaboration with such an incredible group of creatives. This project was inspired by and made with love and in the spirit of sisterhood. 💞 This anthology releases 2.13.24. Cover design by Rue Volley. #anthology #women writers

One of my #writing goals for 2024 is to write 5K words per week through February, bumping up to 8K per week in March. This has been very manageable, and I'm hitting my target each week. Loving the progress on my current WIP!

Here are my babies: Rain (dog we adopted in Oct.), Ozzie, and his sister Harriet is on top of the loveseat.
