Audiobook!!!

……..this author has very different tastes in literature than I do.

Chris Fox told me to read this (a book in my category that’s ranking on Amazon). Thus far:

The story is interesting, but there are a lot of distracting grammar issues and anachronistic elements.

I love epistolary novels so I’m really digging the style so far. That said, I’m not as into the characters. We’ll see if that changes.

The Passover Seder drama will never be surpassed! 🤣

It’s been out a week! Should I finally mark it read? 🤣

It’s live most places! And the web site is updated.

Er. I was enjoying it but also busy, and my library loan expired and was not renewable. Oops.

I had a great reading yesterday with Broad Universe! Congrats to the person who won a free copy!

I’m IndieReader Approved!

“Katherine Villyard's IMMORTAL GIFTS is literary catnip for vampire fans hungry for a fresh, deeply humanist spin on a beloved paranormal trope.”

Do you want to read the first chapter (and an awesome review)?

I’m on the Functional Nerds podcast talking about this book! http://functionalnerds.com/2024/12/ep...

The Goodreads Giveaway is ALMOST OVER…

😬 you go, ladies! 😬

😬 I was busy thinking uncharitable thoughts about Patricia’s son (I don’t think it’s cute that he’s obsessed with Nazis and harming animals, it’s not a phase, get the child some help) and then THAT happened… my workout ended at a tense spot…

Yikes. The way he made us annoyed at [spoiler] and then [had the thing I’ve seen trigger warnings for happen to her] was SUPER EFFECTIVE. There’s a really good negative to positive rebound for the character.

Yikes!

No really. I’m so viscerally angry at all the husbands right now that I’ll be disappointed if any of them survive the book.

Okay, Horse can live. But Patty’s husband and Grace’s husband? They should both be eaten by rats. 💀

So mad at the husbands right now.

D-I-V-O-R-C-E!

GOODREADS GIVEAWAY! https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...

My hardcover has started to populate out! Large print is hopefully coming soon!

I read my own book on the plane in paperback! It was a lot of fun. I got pretty far into it and might save the rest for the trip back…

Paperback links are trickling in! Large print and hardcover are still “awaiting update,” whatever that means. I can’t get the Ingram Spark support chat to work. 🤣

I don’t understand folks who try to upload the night before. I’d be breathing into a paper bag right now. 🤣

IngramSpark kicked back two of my files for print. One contained a typo for page count (I uploaded at 2am and have a day job, what do you want? my cover designer is in New Zealand and I got my covers) and the other, I am mystified that they say the cover was designed for creme paper and I picked white at the same weight… it can be creme, I guess? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m tired.

KDP has accepted my paperback files, but this isn’t visible on the actual site.

IngramSpark is still processing my files. I’m hoping I’ll have print links soon. I’ll have paperback, hardcover, and large print.

Audio will not be ready on February 4, but is coming.
