Kat Simons's Blog

November was a weird month and now it's almost over! I'm not entirely sure how that happened, but here we are almost upon Thanksgiving here in the US. Eek! But I do have some updates and news, so here we go.
Once again, I'd like to thank everyone who was able to support the APOCALYPSE WITCH Kickstarter, whether by directly backing or passing the word. I truly appreciate all the help! The eBook is currently up for preorder and will release everywhere on December 3rd. If you're a backer, you will have received your copy already. The print books are going to probably launch a bit later than the eBook this time around because I'm doing some fun interior stuff and want to make sure I get the proofs before I let the books go live. But I'll have links and updates on that next month.

APOCALYPSE WITCHDemon Witch, Book FiveReleases December 3rd

In addition to the release of Apocalypse Witch, I have the latest Haunts and Howls collection out!

First, I want to apologize for this one being a little later this year than usual. I do like to have the Haunts and Howls collections out in October for spooky season, but the year got away from me. Hopefully the plan for next year leaves us enough room to get everything lined up and the 2026 Haunts and Howls released at its usual time of year.

But! It is officially here now. And since the theme for this collection is Dragons... Well, those are just as fun in December as they are in October. Really, anytime is a good time for dragons.

HAUNTS AND HOWLS AND DRAGON TALES is out at my store today and will be out everywhere on December 17th. The trade paperbacks and large print paperbacks will release on December 17th as well, so for my print readers, that's the release date for you. (I'll post a reminder next month :D)

I'll have more about the other new editions of the Demon Witch series next month, so keep an eye out for that. I've been debating uploading the duology as an eBook, just to give readers alternatives. The print edition of Howling Dreadful on a Moonlit Strange (the combined book of the two prequel stories in the series) will be released with the other updated print books. I wasn't going to upload the eBook, but I did at the store and now I think I will everywhere. The more options, the better, right? More on that next month!
***
Finally, for my Dragon Thief readers! One of the things that got behind over the course of this autumn were the next two Dragon Thief books. They're written and queued up for editing, but the editing process got behind. 
SO, Dragon Thief book 11 will be out in January now. I'll have more on that next month. And because I'm behind, I'll have it out everywhere at the same time (though, of course, I appreciate it a lot when you buy direct! That's the best option for supporting me and my writing. But getting the books anywhere at all is super great too).
I'm still working on the 2026 schedule, so hopefully by next months update, I'll be able to give you a more solid release date for Book 12 in the series. And then, there will be a slight delay before I launch the third season of the Dragon Thief.


I need to get some backlogged projects and stories released over 2026, and since I am not, as it turns out, a four person team all on my own, the work involved will require I delay getting new Dragon Thief books out until probably 2027. All goes to plan (ha!), Book 13 should start the Third Season in January 2027. (And for the record, I cannot believe I'm talking about things in the year 2027. That makes my little GenX brain wobbly. When did that happen!?!)
I will keep you all updated! And you can check back here monthly for news. But in the meantime, there are still two more Dragon Thief stories on their way! And they're an awful lot of fun. :)
Okay, that's more than enough for this late in the month! LOL.
Until next month! Happy Reading.

Don't miss out on all the fun stuff! Last few hours! We funded fast. I'd love to see us finish strong! Don't Miss out!! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/katsimons/apocalypse-witch-final-novel-in-the-demon-witch-series

Until then, please follow the Kickstarter prelaunch page and Happy Reading!
And also HAPPY SPOOKY SEASON!!

I'm writing this with still a few more days until the actual autumnal equinox (up in this hemisphere) and I figure that's close enough. Plus, I need spooky season this year. There will be spooky books, and spooky shows, and spooky food, and once it cools down, spooky blankets. I'm also doing spooky crochet, just to really get all the spooky out of everything.

And I also have books this month! BUT FIRST...

Kickstarter

Just a heads up about my upcoming Kickstarter. The prelaunch pages is there to follow, but I'm not launching until October, hopefully no later. I want to have everything ready to go so there's no delay in fulfillment and life/work has been pretty busy. I want the Kickstarter to be the best I can make it before launching, and I need a little more time for that. Will keep everyone updated here!

And in the meantime, please consider following the prelaunch page--that helps with visibility and a good launch when I do launch. Plus, Kickstarter will let you know the campaign is live.

And coming on September 26th, the third Friday's Curious Shop story gets its standalone eBook release! This is a good one for spooky season because, as is typical for Friday's Curious Shop, it is spooky and creepy. THE RED FEAR PIPES, is out everywhere on the 26th but if you don't want to forget it's release, its available for preorder everywhere.

THE RED FEAR PIPESA Friday's Curious Shop Story
Out EVERYWHERE on September 26th
A store for the curious. Enter if you dare…

Riley Anderson never balks at doing the work asked of her atFriday’s Curious Shop. True strange things happen at the store sometimes. And occasionallya weird customer comes in. But her bosses treat her well and ensure she eats. Thequirky thrift shop provided her a job when she might have ended up on thestreets. A little dusting and rearranging in exchange for a steady paycheckfeels like a win.

Yet when her boss asks her to dust the children’s toysection, dread wells up in Riley. So strong and choking, she almost says no.Almost refuses.

Almost runs away.

She has no reason to fear the old puzzle games and discardedinstruments, though. Nothing in the music box case that can hurt her. Nothingtruly menacing about the strange, eerie sounds coming from that part of thestore. Right?

But in Friday’s Curious Shop, appearances deceive. And eveninnocent toys might hold unseen terrors.

Author’s Note: This story is also published in thecollection HAUNTSAND HOWLS AND FAIRY DALES.

~~

Eagle-eye readers might notice a slight change in cover art with this book. I've updated the covers for all
the Friday's Curious Shop series, and did a backmatter update for the previous two stories, but nothing in those stories has changed, and the covers are close enough! There's no need to look into updating your previous versions of the first two stories if you don't want to.

And as always, a reminder for my print readers that this story is part of the HAUNTS AND HOWLS AND FAIRY DALES collection and that is where you can read the story in print!
News

Heads up because this is Spooky Season, there will be sales and new merch and the like going on at KatSimonsBooks over this month and next. I will also be "decorating" the store! It's already got its autumn colors on but there will be more spooky next month. So be sure to check it out!

Reminder that stories are still posting on the 1st and 15th of every month over at the Cafe. At the moment, A DRAGON AT THE CAFE is live and free to read until the last day of September. And that story has a tie in with the Dragon Thief series (none of characters but in the same world), so it might be fun for my Dragon Thief readers.

As a look ahead to next month, you can expect the next Haunts and Howls collection! Just in time for Halloween. And (fingers crossed), the Demon Witch Kickstarter will go live! So it should be a fun month for spooky season with all the spooky books.

For those who'd like a monthly update coming directly to your inbox, this is a reminder that I have a monthly reader newsletter and new subscribers will get two free stories (a Cary Redmond story and a Tiger Shifters story).

And finally, I will at some point soon be adding a page to the website, and probably to the store, addressing the whole generative AI thing.

For the record, I don't use any of it, unless it's done accidentally, and I do try to avoid accidentally picking up and using AI art. I don't use any of the text or video AI programs and I have yet to even try out the audio AI programs. As it happens, I'm one of the authors whose work was stolen to train the current iterations of generative AI text programs (see the Anthropic vs the Authors Guild case), so I do not have a good opinion of those programs and the companies making billions from them. And refuse to use any of them in my own writing and publishing.

Since there's at least one audio narration company who PAY the narrators to license their voices for use in generating things like audiobooks, I'm less adamant about that. The AI will never replace real voice actors, but they will have an opportunity to license their voices (getting paid for people to use their voices!) if they wish in the future. And that's a program I can see using to create low price point audio. HOWEVER, I'm waiting on that for now because I also know a lot of readers don't like AI narrated books.

At any rate, I want to put out a formal declaration for people who want that bit of knowledge. And I want to put it on a page that will stay up and be easy to find. I know since I write a lot and publish a lot, it might start to look a little suspicious, but the truth is, I just write ahead of myself by about a year, and I write all the time. So I just have a lot of things to publish (I'm still sitting on book 9 in the Cary Redmond series!) But given that generative AI is a thing now, I just want to let readers know where I stand and what they can expect from my writing and publishing.

Okay! I think that's more than enough for one post. LOL. HAPPY AUTUMN! (And HAPPY SPRING to those in the southern hemisphere!)

Bye until next month! Happy Reading!

Okay, not quite, but we are getting close and I'm very excited for the autumnal weather and spooky reads! I'm already craving doing crochet projects under a blanket, listening to a good book, and watching spooky movies! *grin*

I have some fun stuff lined up for Spooky Season this year too! Still settling out some of the details, BUT I have a new Kickstarter that will launch in September/October (still setting it up, so looking more like October, but September is still possible!) and this one is for THE FINAL BOOK IN THE DEMON WITCH SERIES!!! 

That's right, the final book. The end of a series. I realize I am bad at this. I finished Cary Redmond and then just kept writing because I left some threads hanging. But this one wraps up the series. Now, there will be more about Angie's past and her series in a future Cary Redmond book because...reasons. But for now, this will represent the end of the Demon Witch series.

The Kickstarter prelaunch page is up now. Please follow that page and you'll get an email from Kickstarter when the campaign launches.

As the above graphic reveals, I'm also rebranding the series with new covers for this Kickstarter. I'm really excited about the new covers! BUT I realize that readers who have books in a series prefer when all the books they have have the same cover. But don't worry, I have a plan for that. *grin*

More as the Kickstarter launches, but in the meantime, please follow the prelaunch page as it helps get Kickstarter to boost the campaign too.

The other big news for this month is the wide release of THE PAYBACK JOB (Dragon Thief 9) and the wide release of the Omnibus from Season One as well as all the individual paperback editions of Season One!

THE PAYBACK JOBA Dragon Thief Story, Book 9
Available Everywhere AUGUST 20TH

So many enemies, so little time… 

Working with their new team, Myra and Christopher have rescued “damsels” in distress all over New York City. Even as their relationship develops and deepens. Though Myra tries not to think too much about the future. In the moment, the work makes her happy, and so does Christopher. And their latest job, saving grieving widows from a scam artist, proves a satisfying challenge. Or at least it did. Until the king drops an emergency into their laps and upends all their plans.

Suddenly the team must drop everything to rescue three missing dragon shifters. With only three days to find them and get them back. And it appears an old enemy orchestrated everything. An enemy looking for payback.

But who? Someone from Myra’s past? Christopher's? Or someone they thwarted together?

With so many adversaries, so many people they’ve managed to anger, Myra and Christopher have a long list of suspects. And very little time to whittle that list down. The lives of the missing shifters and the entire team rest in the balance. They have to uncover the truth or people will die.

And time is running out.

~~

THE DRAGON THIEF SERIES, SEASON ONE
Omnibus Edition
Available Everywhere Now
Ask dragon questions, get dragon answers…

Myra makes one of the biggest mistakes of her life when she allows herself to get sucked into an ill-considered bet to break into the dragon king’s hoard. Pride goes before the fall, as they say, and Myra’s pride urges her on to extraordinary risks to prove her skills. As a thief with magic that makes the thieving arts that much easier, Myra manages the impossible. Wins her bet.

And gets caught in the act by the dragon king’s guard.

Facing the consequences of that failure means doing a job for the dragon king. A job that changes Myra’s life forever. When she meets the dragon king’s son, Christopher. A dragon shifter prince with a soft spot for damsels in distress. Who occasionally smells like sugar cookies. And whose fierce devotion and protective nature draw Myra like a particularly complicated lock.

Myra faces two choices. Stay in the dragon shifter world and keep Christopher in her life. Or leave the danger and return to her ordinary world. But lose Christopher forever. Knowing no matter what she decides, she risks a shattering fall.

~~

Also, if you're a print reader, the paperback editions of all six individual stories in Season One are out now! And if you're feeling fancy, there's a boxed set edition of those six individual paperbacks available at my store. The shipping is a little slower with that, but it'll look nice on the shelf.

Ancient magic, a deadly bargain, and a whole lot of liveson the line…

Teaming up with a crew of people all with the same goal—tosave damsels in distress—seemed like a fun idea. At the time. But growing painsand Myra’s lifetime of working alone complicate the delicate balance of the newteam. She doesn’t want to give up on it, for Christopher’s sake as much as herown. Her dragon shifter boyfriend has a soft spot for damsels in distress. Toensure his safety, Myra will willingly work with other people, so someone’sthere to have their backs.

But trust never came easy for the magic thief, and now Myrahas to learn to trust a whole bunch of people when some of them clearly don’ttrust her.

When the team’s latest attempt to rescue a damsel indistress goes bad, and their tight timeline pushes the boundaries of calculatedrisk, trust might be the only thing that saves them.

So. Yeah. That's a lot of Dragon Thief. LOL. 

Beyond the Dragon Thief series, this month, I do have two new Café stories available. The first, Kassidey at the Café, is free for a couple more days and then Cary and Deacon at the Café goes live on the 15th!

If you've missed some of The Cafe stories or just prefer to read in print, next month I'm releasing the first collection of Cafe stories! It'll be available in eBook, trade paperback, large print, and hardcover editions, so whatever fits your fancy it'll be available! More on that next month, but the books should be most places for pre-order now. And are definitely up at KatSimonsBooks for preorder.

Okay, I think that's more than enough for one post! LOL. I hope the changing seasons are treating you kindly and that you're finding some very good reading!
