Congrats to Giveaway Winners!
One of the most exciting parts of the end of a giveaway is getting to see all the different parts of the country that my book is traveling to. 5 winners from all across the country have won copies of Fragments, which are on their way and supposed to arrive by December 18th! I really hope you love it!
In related news, some of you may have heard that Goodreads is planning to change its policy regarding giveaways beginning in January and making authors pay (quite a lot) in order to give away their books. If this ends up being the case I will no longer be running giveaways through Goodreads. I just can't afford it.
Also, as much as I absolutely love entering giveaways myself (I recently won one for a poetry novel that I'm SUPER excited to receive!!) the model that Goodreads proposed means that the indie and self published authors who benefited from the giveaways will basically be excluded, so I won't be participating in the giveaways at all anymore in solidarity with them.
Hopefully Goodreads doesn't go through with charging authors so much just to give away their books for free, but it has been a good run and I've very much enjoyed it up until now. :)

Happy 2019!
Happy New Year! Last year felt like a real turn-around year for me in terms of writing and I got a lot of my goals accomplished. You can read more about that on my blog: https://kayespivey.wordpress.com/2019...
I have a little bit more news I wanted to share here as well! For the winter season, both of my poetry collections are marked down, so get them while they're cheap!
I have also set up a formal mailing list. If you'd like to be one of the first to hear when something big happens with my writing career, and to be entered to win a copy of both of my poetry collections, sign up now! http://eepurl.com/gcV7zr
