I've totally DNF'ed not just a book, but an author over pizza. (Every book I read by an author included a mention of a very real local pizza chain. It was decent, but not worth having an FMC in downtown Manhattan, or even on exotic location resort complain that she couldn't have it) 🍕

DNFing is one of those topics that periodically makes its rounds in the online book space. We at Betancourt Literary Agency are curious. Do you DNF books? What are the most common reasons you'll put a book down? Let us know! #literaryagent #literaryagency #tbr #dnf #readerproblems #readersofbluesky

Queer authors, if you will be publishing a book on ITCH DOT IO and/or KOBO PLUS between now and Dec 31, please make that book known to me below. Especially if you're not publishing on the Evil River! Pre-order link is best, itch profile is great (so I can follow you), or whatever ya got. 🌈📚

The cookies started off as a joke, but they took on a life of their own in the Hell's Hollow series! Can't say I'm mad about it. 🍪 Has Belphegor hit your Kindle yet? books2read.com/Belphegorkat... #booksky #readersofbluesky #reading #paranormalromance #novella #spookybooks #demonromance

What happens when a bunch of romance authors hang out with one another and take the game of "what if...?" a step further than hypotheticals?

A paranormal romance novella might be a touch out of my comfort zone but I had so much fun working on the Hell's Hollow series.

Cover Reveal and Upcoming Release

A little while ago, an opportunity came about for an incredibly fun project with several other fellow indie authors and I found myself unable to say no (even though I really really need to get the third book of the Wraith Trilogy wrapped up).

I was going to do a quick lil meet the author post, but instead I thought maybe my new blog signature would be a good introduction #writer #indieauthor #unprofessional #snark #authorbio #booksky

I've decided to showcase one book a month to talk about what that book offers and what it took to get it written. This month is the 4 year publish-aversary of the book that made me an author: Black Rose

Kate Prada Book Of the Month: Black Rose

Born from insomnia and an overactive imagination, the book that made me a published author, Black Rose. Officially published on 3/7/2022 the characters of Black Rose have been some of the most popular among Kate Prada readers. All month check back for little bits of lore, book info, and maybe even some goodies. Who would you become if you could finally break free?
