Dear Humans,

Rather than make a whole pretty picture entry for her, we’re giving you this link. We would love if you clicked! Victorian era, vampires. Need we tell you more? Also, we love the cover of this book hardcore. It is $0.99. We do now know when it ends. We just saw it was in the bookbub mailer th...

Day Two of the Sneaky Kitty Critic’s Book Faire. (May 19, 2020)

Dear humans,

We’re back with more books! Hoorah! We haven’t read any of the books featured today, so take your usual precautions. All these cool cats helped share Whatever for Hire and Grave Humor, for which we are very appreciative. The female has taken away our exclamation point. We find this annoying and distressing. How dare she?

Beastly Curse (Selene Drake.) Paranormal Romance. Contains adult-only smexy content. There seems to be a manback and tatts theme going on in this book faire....

Day One of The Sneaky Kitty Critic’s Book Faire (May 18, 2020)

Dear humans,

Today is the first day of the Sneaky Kitty Critics Thank You!! book faire for the super friendly people who helped spread word of Grave Humor! All prices listed are at time of posting. We will tell you if weve read the book or not!

Most of the books featured will be in the Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance genres, although we, with some help from the female, will be featuring titles from other genres. Some authors just shared the book because they wanted to, so we have chosen...

Catnapped: A Magical Romantic Comedy (with a body count) is now available for Pre-order!

When someone steals Dianas cat, a former lab animal rescued from deaths door, she calls on one of the most dangerous beings in the universe for help. Cutting a deal with the devil isnt the smartest move, but theres no way in hell shell abandon Mr. Flooferson the Magnificent to his fate.

Teaming up with the son of a demon, an angel, and one hell of a woman might push Diana to the limits of her courage and sanity. Unless she wants to sell her soul to the devil, she must cope with her new...

Let’s talk Audiobooks. Again.

This isnt precisely a happy post, although the female is very, very happy she made #141 on USA Today for Whatever for Hire. See?

Shes very excited and happy over this.

But, shes got something severely bothering her, so its time to talk about it.

After the current contracted Audiobooks are done, shes taking a break from them for a while. Simply put, they have approximately $20,000 in debt to earn back.

She cant just keep adding to their debt, which is exactly what she did this week with Water...

Grave Humor is now out in the wilds!

Hooray, humans! The day has come at long last. Grave Humor is now available at all major retailers for your enjoyment.

Heres a tiny snippet from the opening of the book for your enjoyment:

 
Had I been smarter or wiser, I never wouldve accepted the job offer at the funeral home. With my prospects few and far between, I hadnt had a choice, not really. Who else would hire an eighteen-year-old high school drop out?

I could type.

Dead bodies didnt bother me.

When the dead started chatting up a...

Whatever for Hire is on sale for $0.99, humans!

Today is the day! Whatever for Hire: a Magical Romantic Comedy (with a body count) is on sale for $0.99, and you can grab your copy over at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, or Apple Books. Hooray! Were excited. We hope you are, too.

Please enjoy this picture of a kitten. It is being used as one of the ad images for Whatever for Hire. We think its adorable. Look at that boop! Look at those pretty eyes! Look at the puffy fur!

Yeah. Kittens.

Well take ten. (What, male? We cant even have one?...

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly: Let’s talk book piracy, series, and some nicer things, too.

Dear humans,

The female has noticed some pirates have already started distributing copies of The Flame Game: a Magical Romantic Comedy (with a body count.) We find this to be amusing because the female hasnt even written the book yet.

Hint: its a scam, virus, and/or a method of stealing your personal information. Those free books? Typically arent free.

But, it brings up the age-old discussion of piracy. (Including a brief interlude directly from the female.)

One day, the Mag Rom Com series...

The Run Around has Released!

Dear humans,

The day of a new book has come! The Run Around by Bernadette Franklin can now be found in the wilds. Due to laze and an extensively long to-do list the female needs to accomplish, youre getting a universal link today. The female has an Epic Workday planned, in which she wants to write 8,010 words because she wrote 8,009 words yesterday, and she viewed this as a challenge.

Arranging a wedding for her brother and a five-time thoroughbride tests Hopes skills and patience. Shed...

Double Trouble Audiobook is now out plus other news from the Blain Household.

Dear humans,

Everyone in the Blain household is feeling a little like this today. Were tired. The female is particularly tired. Shes doing this walking every day for 30 minutes a day thing, and she does not like it. At all. It hurts. Getting up this morning was, on a scale of one to ten, not fucking fun.

But she is taking Fucking Asshole, Summoner of the Fuckening on daily walks. For 30 minutes. And shes trying to keep her time per mile below 20 minutes. That makes her feel like a mule...
