😭💕 Thank you for this! "The Loki we deserved to see in the MCU" is a massive compliment I'm going to carry around for the rest of my days!!

Today's #selfpublishedauthorawarenessweek author is @catrector.com! The Goddess of Nothing At All is the Loki we *deserved* to see in the MCU. Plus [massive spoilers for the sequel, unfortunately, but MAJOR selling point, believe me!].

This made me tear up. Thank you, Hel 💕 I hardly know what to say, because a review of my work like this is everything I could dream of. I aim to be an honest author, both in my writing and how I talk about my career, and it's amazing to know that it's working 😭

#SPAAW 💙📚 If Cat Rector writes it, I read it. She first drew me in with her tragic, romantic, heartbreaking retelling of the Ragnarok from the viewpoint of Sigyn, Loki's wife, in The Goddess of Nothing At All and its sequel, but since then she wrote women's health and witchiness in the puritan times

Thank you so much for this 💕 GoNaa may be my debut and my oldest baby, but it's by far the most well-loved thing I've ever written and sits in a special place in my heart 💕

Today's queer indie Pride book rec: The Goddess of Nothing at All, by @catrector.com. Want the Loki we were cheated out of in the Marvel cinematic universe? Check this book out. It's a chonker, but it's more than worth it!

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

Good morning, happy Pride 🌈 Also happy "I don't keep track of these things and am now scrambling to make themed posts for June OOPS" to those who celebrate

This phishing scam almost got me today because I was distracted and they had my personal details. Seems to be mostly European/UK hotels but an informed citizen is a citizen who keeps their cash www.wired.com/story/hundre...

Alright I feel like we've gone far enough XD

Brain no braining, energy drink only propping up the body. Every time I get up to do something, I walk two steps, squint, and try to figure out what I got up to do. Tonight is going to be listening to The Caretaker and doing chores, I think 😂

I'm so mad that I've been resisting titling Coal Gets In Your Veins as Appalachian Gothic because it's not Appalachia ONLY TO FIND OUT IT IS and we're called the Appalachian Uplands My marketing life could have been so much easier and instead local education failed me 🤣

I'm going to this and SO SHOULD YOU

Events are croping up for my release week! Join me at Egghead books and afterward at The Wooden Monkey for a release party on July 21 (the official release day!!!)! We'll have goodie bags, signings, tunes, drinks, and words from yours truly 🥰🌊 All the deets: www.eggheadbooks.ca/events/54601...

I'm changing all my ebooks over to D2D from Ingram, and I'm trying to see if I can complete all four moves before I need to drive spouse to the airport in 40 minutes 😂

I'm running a poll over on Instagram with a few basic questions for authors. I'm trying to gauge if people are feeling a particular gap the way I am. If you want to toss your answer into the fold, you can find it in my stories for another 11 hours or answer here! www.instagram.com/cat_rector/

Scarecrows would never hurt you... If you like burning down the patriarchy, tearing apart your enemies, and communing with the spirits of the forest, This Too Shall Burn might be right for you. Sample chapters available on my website, Catrector.com Art by the amazing @egallagher.bsky.social

I've been creating a series over on Instagram that summarizes my writing re-invigoration process I've been putting myself through, and now at 9:30 at night I'm going: (The series in question www.instagram.com/p/DYw-yNUFpJ...)

Why is it never my book posts that break containment and reach new people XD

And I finished listening to the book and now must suffer for a year waiting for the next

I'm almost done with All Hail Chaos and I'm going to be devastated to wait for the next book, but in the meantime, there's a Dutch version with an alternate cover with sprayed edges that I can buy on vacation in a few weeks 👀 (one is a preorder but I'll figure it out)

About to jump into a zoom call so the local writers federation can tell me all their offerings and how the community works, so why am I nervous like this is a job interview 😂

Many thanks to the Seattle Times: “David Demchuk’s cult queer horror novel “RED X” has already earned the kind of reputation most horror writers spend decades chasing, and its June reissue is primed to introduce an entirely new audience to its unnerving power.” www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

6 upcoming thrillers and mysteries to read this summer

Thank you! I'm both looking forward to it and a little nervous! It does mean getting lots of audiobook time in since everything is at least an hour away from home base 😂

I'm ramping up my local markets and book fairs this year and am about to become a person who has vehicle expenses on her yearly business taxes I've got five applications out and two acceptances, so fingers crossed!

With spouse going away, usually I fill my alone days with meals I really want to make for myself that he doesn't like. This time I'm feeling pretty drawn to frozen lasagne and other freezer to table meals Except salt cod fish cakes. I'ma do that

Didn't write today (yet, maybe not at all) but I did cram in a bunch of admin, prep work, and spent a bunch of money on future events I also spent most of the day in some form of limbo trying to get the floors vacuumed and washed, and it's still happening I need a game break

I need this tea I deserve this tea This tea will fix me

WE FUCKING DID THE THINGGGGG *screaming*

Getting ready for my trip out of country means making a list of Waterstones and UK exclusive covers that I Absolutely Must Have

I wrote almost 8000 words in five days after a dry spell of months. Today my body is telling me (post walk) that it's time to play a game for a few hours. Maybe it's time for the second run of Grimshire....
