Hello, friends and fellow Supers!
Hugh here. I hope you had a wonderful New Year and that 2022 is treating you well. Kat and I have been busy chasing an explosive Rogue, as our author finishes up Kat-A-Strophic, the fifth book in the Black Kat series.
We’d hope to have it to you this month, but it looks like it’ll be done in...

Black Kat News: December 2021
Hugh here. I hope you’re having a lovely holiday, or gearing up for one. Kat & I have been off hunting an explosive Rogue, but hope to get some free time soon to cozy up near a roaring fire with a cup of tea, some Christmas cookies, and plenty of cats. And presents, lots of and lots of presents!
But first,...

The Crucible, AKA the Walmart Supercenter
[image error]
I spent the last week or so trying to come up with some earth-shattering, amazing topic to blog about while juggling deadlines for two books and a bunch of side projects. I finally decided the hell with trying to impress people, I’ll just be myself. If they’re still here afterward, then I’ve found my tribe.
I’m a mother of five boys. Three are grown, two are at home. I have an adult son with high-functioning autism who recently moved back in, and my youngest most likely is in the spectru...

My first audio book is live!
[image error]
Reginald and I are pleased to announce that the very first Cocky Doodle Doo audiobook is available for sale! Our friend Lawrence did a wonderful job narrating it. It’s addictive to listen to! Check it out here.
Working through ACX was a neat experience, and Lawrence is already working on the second book, Cocky Doodle Boo.
There are nine stories in all, and they are short, funny romps in the barnyard with hyper-literate chickens, nervous horses, wise cows, captivating geese, and Tae Kwon ducks. Oh, and the occasional predator, bully, or other comical villains as they come up.
You can find the whole Cocky Doodle Doo series here on Amazon.

So Long, Summer, and Stop Touching My Stuff!
It’s hard to believe summer is almost over. It seems like it went on forever here. I love having my family home, I really do, but they were ALL here, all day, every day, forever and ever and ever–while I was trying to write and publish three books. And then somehow, I also managed to format five books without committing homicide. Chocolate may have been consumed in heavy quantities. Just sayin’.
With the kids back in school, I decided to put my overly optimistic self to work on updating my hideously outdated websites. Yes, that’s a lot of adverbs, I know, but I’m a glutton for punishment. Needless to say, in the two years I’ve managed to mostly ignore all of my websites, Word Press went ahead and rearranged every freaking thing I used to know how to do. And so did Divi and everything else I used.
That would be fine if I’d actually forgotten how to do things, but no, senility hasn’t hit me full force yet, though the Mommy Brain and menopause do kick in strong some days. Truth be told, I am technically savvy, which means I have to forget everything I knew how to do when these stupid companies decide to overhaul their interfaces.
But hey, I pride myself on struggling through tough times. I managed to give birth five times, raise three teen aged boys so far, and write six books. I’ve also survived disco, 80’s big hair, dial-up internet, and Windows 3.1 I can handle Word Press, can’t I? After all, I’m a techie and an IT professional. I can spew out the “Microsoft Best Answer” to anything and then turn around and tell you how we do things in the “real world.”
But please, for the love of God, STOP TOUCHING MY STUFF!
[image error]Lord Business is not pleased!
Yeah, I’m looking’ at YOU, Microsoft Windows 10, hiding all the control panels and shit. It’s been two years and still can’t find everything damned thing.
PSST…I’ll let you in on a secret: neither can most of the other IT professionals I work with. We’re just as lost as everyone else.
Hell, I’m a certified pro in several versions of Windows, but not that version. No thanks.
Holy shit, people, you all are as bad as Walmart and Target when they decide to rearrange all the damned aisles from time to time, which makes me lose track of my mind and half of my kids. I still think I might have left one behind the last time I was there.
I’m also looking at YOU, Microsoft-Word-anything-older-than-2003. Why did you have hide to everything under that goddamned ribbon where no one could ever find it? As technical as I am, I weep for those who are not. And sometimes, I just plain weep, especially after searching for the “Select All” function for 5 minutes. I swear it’s going to drive me to drink after formatting my books and screwing them up multiple times.
Hell hath no fury like a techie scorned!
Maybe I’ll just start swearing like my potty-mouthed Super, Jared Jackson: “I can’t even unfuck all the stuff I’ve already fucked!”
But then again, neither can Microsoft, which brings me back to Word Press.
My GOD, people, why ruin a perfectly good interface with something no one can find? Oh, yeah, you folks must have been talking to Microsoft. And Walmart. And Target.
That reminds me…has anyone seen my kid? I think he might be missing, along with my mind.
Until next time,

Just out: Black Kat II: God Save the Queen
Buckle up your seat belts for the latest installment of the Black Kat series: God Save the Queen. It’s twice the size of the previous books, and packed with non-stop action, hot Supers, crazy Rogues, and plenty of antics and banter.
Let the games begin…
When a beautiful bounty hunter is betrayed by her partner, Hugh Harrison does the only thing a proper gentleman would do–he rescues her. Never mind that she’s hunted him down through seven states to drag him back to prison. She’s a female Super, one who may hold the key to his struggles with the government, his search for his missing brother, and his own failing health-if he can save her from herself.
The last person Katherine Carter expects to come to her aid is the world-famous escape artist she’s been chasing. His unusual powers confuse and bewitch her as he leads her deeper into an underground society of people with amazing abilities and makes her an offer she can’t refuse. But trusting the cunning illusionist to keep his end of the bargain may cost her everything, including her heart.
