Katie Cast

The latest KatieCast podcast is out, and in its new five-minute “short bloop of Katieness” formula. You can check it out here.

Be sure to let me know if you have specific books you’d like me to yack about, or if you have questions you’d like answered, names you’d like pronounced, or suggestions of future topics.

I have good news for those of you who’ve been asking why the First Dragon’s novella DRAGON UNBOUND was stuffed into Amazon and not available elsewhere (the answer is a long story).

A new anthology – ONCE UPON A DRAGON MOON – with both DRAGON UNBOUND and THE PERILS OF EFFRIJIM – has just been released, so those of you who are missing one or both can find them in one handy e-book available at iBooks, Nook, Kobo, and other assorted spots. For more info and links, trot to the ONCE UPON A DRAGON MOON page.

I’m so excited for the release of THE VAMPIRE ALWAYS RISES that I can barely contain my giddiness. For those of you who have patiently waited for it, it’s out! Go grab a copy (and if you can’t buy one at this time, suggest that your library get a copy for the delight of you and other patrons) and then race back here and tell me what you think of it.

I have so much to talk about with this book, but we will remain spoiler free for folks who haven’t had a chance to read it yet. So instead, let me point out that the first chapter is now available at https://katiemacalister.com/books/the-vampire-aways-rises/

And if you’re still confused about how the vampire books fall, the Dark Ones Connections is at https://katiemacalister.com/fun-stuff/dark-ones-connections/

Get your fangs on, my darlings!

Are you a Bookbub fan? If so (and you really should be, BB is awesome!) pop over to https://www.bookbub.com/authors/katie-macalister to be included in news of my latest releases and special sales. It’s quick, painless, and free!

The publish date for The Vampire Always Rises has been pushed back to April 26th. Although I hate to delay the long awaited next Dark Ones book, there has been a delay in the copyediting and proofreading production, and I don’t want to rush it out the door before it’s perfect. Or as perfect as I can make it (that’s the joy of publishing books yourself!). And since I want it out in print at the same time as ebook (and with luck, audio), I’m hoping everyone will be patient and hang on an extra month.

My darling agent Michelle and I are trying an experiment in visibility by placing Dragon Unbound into Amazon’s White Glove program (a special service offered to agents to help get their author’s books some personal attention) which means that for a little bit of time, it will be only available via Amazon. Non-Kindle folks, don’t panic! The print version is available–so feel free to ask your library to pick up a copy if you are unable to.

And a month and a half later, the print version of Dragon Unbound (with bonus Perils of Effrijim short story) is now available. Wooties! You can order it through Amazon or other stores. The link below is to the Amazon version.

The Perils of Paulie is out today, and I’m so thrilled because this is my favorite of all the Ainslie books. It features Dixon, the brother who is stuck taking care of Elliott’s estate, and Paulina Rostakova, who just yearns to get out and see the world. And they do…literally. The tale of their around-the-world race, the hijinks that ensure therein, and how the charming Dixon woos Paulie makes me all shades of happy. I hope you enjoy it as well!

The First Dragon novella, Dragon Unbound, will be released on Tuesday, December 6th. We’re working on a print version that will be coupled with Jim’s short story (The Perils of Effrijim), and I’ll have news about that once we work out details. Until then, feel free to dive into the First Dragon’s story.

As part of the “Katie Gets Rights to Books Back and Republishes Them Herself” project, Blow Me Down, that fabulous tale of virtual pirates and the woman who loves them, is available once again in both print and e-book form. I’m tickled pink about this, because Corbin is one of my favorite heroes.
