Do you have any idea when book three in the trilogy will come out? I know the second one just came out on ebook but I just wondered..

I have a good idea, but no firm date set. Edits are scheduled for early August, so I'll have a firm release date for you by September, barring editorial delays.

I'd like to say it will be out by the end of the year, but after extreme pressure following my setting a firm date for book two, I'm holding off on the announcement until I'm sure that's feasible. I'd rather give myself time to give readers the best possible book rather than rushing to have something acceptable out by a date I set too early.

If it helps, the book is already going into the third draft stage. There is absolutely no chance that it won't get done.

And it's my favourite part of the story so far. :)(less)

I have been enjoying the audiobook version of Bound. :) Are there any plans to release Torn and Sworn in the audiobook format, too?

I'm so glad you like the Bound audiobook! At this time I don't actually have any way to produce audiobook versions of Torn or Sworn. I sold the audio rights for Bound, but at this time continuing the series with that company isn't an option. And though I'd actually love to buy those rights back and have the series done by some of the amazing people working through Amazon's ACX audiobook program, it's not open to Canadian authors at this time. I do have my fingers crossed, hoping that this will change in the near future, but for now I'm afraid I'm a bit stuck.

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that it's tricky right now. But we'll get there!(less)

Add Curses and Crimes to your TBR!

We're less than two weeks out from Vines and Vices' release day, but today I have news on another book... specifically on Curses and Crimes, book two in the All the Queen's Knaves series!

We'll be doing the official cover reveal after Vines and Vices is out in the world, but Curses and Crimes is up for pre-order now--and if you'd like a preview of what this next adventure is going to be about (and Read more of this blog post »

Kate’s Quotes

“Girls get a lot of mixed messages—they are told, ‘Girl Power!’ and what does that mean? It means you wear a T-shirt that says, ‘Girl Power!’ but you call each other bitches. You make fun of a girl for being a virgin and you make fun of a girl for having sex. There’s no right place to be.”
― Tina Fey
