*tumbles out of the van, pulls leaves from hair* We made it back from our off-the-grid week in Vancouver Island! (more on that down below) And we spent the past few days in gorgeous Vancouver (which I’ve wanted to come to since I was a horny teenager and learned that parts of The X-Files had been filmed here)…but now we’re packing up (again!) and heading back into the woods for three days of camping and hiking. I promise even more pictures when I return!
I’ve got literally so many pictures to share with you the next couple weeks (and sooooo many book recommendations!) and some fun updates. A few things:
RIVAL RADIO has been out for six whole weeks already…and has almost 700 reviews, which is sending my heart into full-on rainbow mode. If you’re looking for a steamy, fun, feel-good story to escape into this weekend, you’ll find this beauty free on KU!
I did my big read-through of Rowan and Charlie’s messy first draft and freaking loved it so much — rare for me, since during this stage I usually hate it. I also had some great chats with both of my story editors and I’m officially starting the second draft next week. Rowan is the ginger, cinnamon-roll hero of my dreams and Charlie is the kind of tough-as-nails, take-no-shit heroine I would crawl on my knees for (and lololol guess what that’s Rowan’s thing too 😉) so I’m excited to dive back in.
I’ve got some ON THE ROPES audio news to share with you…probably next week (!!!) So if you haven’t read this one yet, it’s a great time to start my sweet and sexy friends-to-lovers romance (sunshine-y, bisexual heroine + serious, soft-grump ex-boxer have hot make-outs on a South Philly stoop)
Also — the world is on fire all around us but we can still take care of each other. Maryhouse Sacramento has some new items they are seeking for their drop-in center...and if you're not local, you can order them from their Amazon wishlist (click here)!
Maryhouse will always have a special place in my heart -- I can personally speak to the safe, welcoming space it provides for unhoused women and their children. A hot breakfast, mail services, showers, diapers, hygiene items...it's a place that honors each person and meets them where they are, standing together in community always. ❤️
With love from the road,
Kathryn
