I need to be editing book two of Sanguine Love for its August release. but I am completely obsessed with a new WIP I have. It’s a sapphic retelling of Cinderella and it’s just so much fun.

My copy of On Stolen Tides is here! I don't get a physical copy unless I truly love the book. I live in Korea and it's just hard to ship here. This one is a sapphic romance with pirates and a critique on colonialism. A great read #sapphicbooks #sapphicromance #bookcontent #katrynalalock

I live in Korea with my wife. Sometimes (often) I wonder if it is more difficult to advertise my writing because of this. My books are in English and sold on Amazon, which isn’t really a thing here. I know my insta/tiktok algorithm isn’t really shown overseas. I wonder how many ppl I’m reaching?

A Careful Bite is published, book two is completed and is currently being edited, and the cover mockup is in review. This is a successful year, I think. #sapphicromance #indieauthor

The fact that both main characters in A Careful Bite are Latina lesbians is very important to me. One a reserved butch and the other a soft-spoken femme. They’re an absolute disaster together. I love them both. #sapphicromance #sapphicfantasy #romantasy #indieauthor

Why don’t we have a proper word for female lubricant due to sexual arousal? The word cyprine exists (and I quite like it), but it’s not in the common lexicon. It’s all “evidence of her arousal” and “slick folds”. Main characters are practically sopping with unnamed liquid. #romance #sapphicbooks

A Careful Bite is out now! It’s available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. I can’t wait for everyone to meet these useless lesbians #sapphicbooks #sapphicromance #sapphicfantasy #sapphic #indieauthor

AI rip-offs targeting sapphic books

A new scam is threatening the sapphic book community: Scammers are creating rip-offs of existing books with the help of AI.

I have written a blog post explaining how to recognize red flags, a list of suspicious pseudonyms, and what we can do to help.

Got my first review from an ARC reader over on goodreads. It is probably such a small thing, but it feels like a monumental moment to me. Anyway, give A Careful Bite a read on May 1st!

May 1st is almost here. Are you ready? #sapphicbooks #sapphicromance #romantasy #vampires #indieauthor #wlw

I usually read sapphic fantasy romance, but this sapphic western was really amazing. I know it’s blowing up right now and it’s for good reason. It made it to my physical copy list. That is a COMPETITIVE list. Currently my favorite read. #sapphicromance #sapphicwestern #sapphic

It really effing bothers me how pillow princess is being coopted by straight people. It’s not a pejorative! It’s a descriptor of a specific role in lesbian sexual relationships! #lesbianculture

That’s great! I’ll keep an eye out for it for sure.

I make her a list of books I loved and really want physical copies of, so she picks them out and adds them to her cart whenever she’s shopping. This time she got me Dragon Queens by Kathleen de Plume and Stolen Tides by Kay Lalock.

This book was on my TBR for quite awhile. I don’t know why I didn’t read it right away. It was so well-written, so unexpectedly sexy, so complex and entertaining. I loved it. I really hope @kathleendeplume.bsky.social writes another soon. #dragonqueens #sapphicromance #kathleendeplume

I live in Korea and it’s hard to get my sapphic books here. Amazon really is my only option. This is probably the most thoughtful thing ever, cuz now I get surprise books in the mail.

My wife asked me to make a list of books I want physical copies of so that she can buy me things sometimes if she’s ever shopping on Amazon.

Writing and advertising books are two very different things. Cuz I love writing and sharing my writing, but I absolutely do not want to be perceived as a person while I do that.

A probably incomplete trope list for A Careful Bite:
F/F
Vampires
BDSM
Boss/Employee
Useless Lesbians
Miscommunication

Darva Green’s Of Dreams and Poison was an awesome read. I was obsessed from start to end and I can’t wait for the sequel. Basic premise is a warrior woman/shadow fae falls for a mysterious witch, but their relationship is hampered by angst and politics. #saphhicromance #romantasy #darvagreen

I’ll tell you a secret. I have the mockups for books two and three as well.

Proofread is in progress. Made me realize that the vampire queen has a kink. Desks, tables, walls, the woman hasn’t met a hard surface she doesn’t like. Bed? She’s never met her.
