Breach Release Party – 4 Days To Go

No worries, I’ve calmed down, lol. I’m still annoyed at B&N, but everything else is okay, and I’m sure that will get fixed soon, too. Please excuse my little panic attack yesterday. I guess this book release has me more stressed than I thought I was, lol. But really, everything’s okay now, thanks. ^_^


This has be my favorite interview. :D

Great News!

First of all, B&N finally updated their info and that guy is no longer listed as the author of my book! Yay!


Also, something that made me lol today. I was checking my Amazon page and Breach is ranked #38 and #71 in two of the book categories. Yay, right? Then I saw what the categories are.



#38 inBooks > Politics & Social Sciences > Politics & Government > United States > Legislative Branch

Breach Countdown – 4 Days Left

Excerpt 4: Croatoan Cathedral


With just short glances at the road to keep from driving into a tree, Ishaan studied Roan as if he’d never seen him before. Roan caught him looking and scowled. “It’s not obvious, asshole. Quit gawking at me.”


“So what is it?” Ishaan asked.


“None of your business,” Roan said.


Ishaan laughed.


“Sorry, pal, but you lost the right to say that when you wouldn’t stay out of mine.” A slight frown creased his brow as he thought of something. “Does this have anything to do wit...

This just isn’t my week :(

I think the fates are conspiring against me. Here it is, the week before Breach releases as an e-book, and everything is going wrong. First Goodreads, then B&N, and now WordPress.


First, Goodreads — I logged on to add this new version of Breach, but when I tried to create the book page, I couldn’t because my ISBN was already in use! I thought some helpful person must have added my book for me, so I searched the ISBN and discovered that someone had added it, BUT HE WAS CLAIMING TO BE THE AUTHOR...

Breach Release Party – 5 Days To Go!

Author Katica Locke Interviews Sezae and Isha Mishal

Katica Locke: Hello everyone! Please help me welcome two very special guests to the blog today, Sezae Mishal and her daughter Isha. It’s great to have you.


Sezae Mishal: Thank you, Katica. It’s very exciting to be here. I still can’t believe Ishaan and Roan had a book written about them.


KL: Don’t forget, the two of you are in it, too, and not just as passing characters. I’d say that you, Sezae, are directly responsible for the entire story. N...

Breach Countdown – 5 Days Left

Excerpt 3: An Unexpected Visitor


“What the hell was that?” Roan called from the pantry.


“The doorbell,” Ishaan said with a frown. He set down the lid and fork. “Put the sauce in the pan and stir it, would you? Then move it to the trivet and the water to—”


“I know,” Roan said, stepping out with a dusty jar of tomato sauce in one hand, and a little jar of something in the other. “I found these mushrooms in the back. Can we throw them in, too?”


“Let me see them,” Ishaan said, reaching out, but the d...

Author Katica Locke Interviews Ishaan Darvis

Katica Locke: Hello again! Today I have another very special guest–Ishaan Darvis! Welcome to the blog, Ishaan.


Ishaan Darvis: Thank you, Ms. Locke.


KL: Please, call me Katica.


ID: Thank you, Ms– Katica.


KL: You seem a little nervous, Ishaan. Was Roan telling stories about me? (laughs)


ID: No, not at all. He’s the one who talked me into doing this.


KL: Is it the book, then? I know it’s pretty graphic.


ID: It’s very h...

Breach Countdown – 6 Days Left

Excerpt 2: Grocery Shopping

“We’re here,” Ishaan announced a few minutes later and Roan sat up straight as the car rolled to a stop in front of a small produce stand. As they climbed out of the vehicle, Roan glanced around, finding faces in almost every window overlooking the street. People were coming out of the inn, Sezae among them, and standing on the wide wooden porch to stare. Roan had the sudden urge to ask who taught them manners, but followed Ishaan over to the stand instead.


“Afternoo...

Breach Countdown – Only 7 Days Left

Just one week left before the e-book release of Breach (because I messed up and released the paperback edition early (>_Smashwords or preorder from Barnes & Noble.


To hopefully make the wait a little easier, I’ll be sharing excerpts from the book all week, and I have a few other little surprises planned ;) Maybe the characters themselves will drop by for an interview or two.


Excerpt 1: Shake On It

He was out in the garden, transplanting the tomato seedlings, when he heard the back door open. He gl...
