The Corset Diaries Signed Copies

They’re baaaaaaack. In a limited quantity, and I’m not sure if I will be able to get more (my bookstore connection said the distributor couldn’t fill the original order I wanted, so I ended up with 50 of the little buggers).
Also, you guys have been shopping! There are a couple of books that I restocked yesterday that are almost sold out, so I’m putting in another order.
Here are the books that are either sold out, or very close to selling out, and for which I’ve placed an order, so they should be restocked in a couple of weeks:
  • Blow Me Down
  • The Vampire Always Rises
  • Me and My Shadow
  • Ghost of a Chance
  • Crouching Vampire, Hidden Fang (this should be here tomorrow)
  • Up in Smoke
  • Dragonblight
  • Confessions of a Vampire’s Girlfriend
  • A Midsummer Night’s Romp
  • The Art of Stealing Time
  • and Dragon Unbound.
I’m going to get a new cover for Hard Day’s Knight, and once I do that, I’ll get some of those in stock, as well.

New Books in the Shop!

Just an FYI: last night I restocked the Etsy shop with the following books:
  • Last of the Red-Hot Vampires
  • Ain’t Myth-Behaving: A Paranormal Anthology
  • Up in Smoke
  • Confessions of a Vampire’s Girlfriend
  • The Perils of Paulie
  • Daring in a Blue Dress
  • Much Ado About Vampires
  • Time Thief
  • In the Company of Vampires
Tomorrow, I should get more copies of:
  • Crouching Vampire, Hidden Fang
And coming in the next 10 days-ish are:
  • Me and My Shadow
  • Blow Me Down
  • The Vampire Always Rises
  • Ghost of a Chance
  • and 50 copies of The Corset Diaries.
So if you missed Corset Diaries during the great rush last week, or if you wanted any of the above but haven’t seen them in the shop, they are there now. If they sell out, I’ll order more. The shop is at https://www.etsy.com/shop/KatieMacAlister

Zoom!

seance funny
I just looked at my upcoming schedule, and I have a metric butt ton of zoom sessions. As an introvert, I love being able to interact with people on my own terms, in my own house. As someone with facial blindness, I have to regularly warn people that I seldom look at faces because they just have no info for me, and that no, I’m not looking away because I’m bored.
What are your take on video calls? Love ’em or hate ’em?

Dragonblight is nigh!

Happy Official Dragonblight Release Day!
Even though it came out a wee bit early, today is its actual birthday. The newsletter just went out, complete with a few behind-the-scenes tidbits. If you missed the newsletter, you can eyeball it here: https://preview.mailerlite.com/d8b5p7
 
And if you want a copy of Dragonblight for your very own (if for no other reason than to see why the infamous Chapter 7 makes me cry every time I read it), then hie thee to its page.

It’s baaaack!

 

Did you know that Ain’t Myth-Behaving is back in print, and newly re-covered? Yup, it is, chock full of Irish myths, the hunky demi god Cernunnos, and a herd of ghostly (and sexy as hell) Vikings. Hie thee to the book page if you missed this one while it was out of print!

Just in case!

I might be doing a chicken little impression, but just in case things go pear-shaped on FB (info here about changes coming to FB groups: https://www.authormedia.com/what-the-2021-facebook-changes-mean-for-authors/ ) I wanted to let everyone know I’ll try to keep up on Mewe as well as FB and Discord.
https://mewe.com/i/katiemacalister is my account (which you can befriend) and I’ve already set up a reader chat group at

Yack and Chat!

Guys, with all the toxic content on Facebook and other social media, I really want to try to transition my discussion groups over to Discord. Before anyone gets all panicky, know this is NOT a forced removal of folks from my FB discussion group. I’m just trying to be aware of the problems inherent with popular social media, and would like to move to an environment that isn’t so prone to being influenced by others.

So. If you haven’t used Discord before, it is a platform that allows people to do what we do here–post memes and articles, chat at one another (like a discussion form), and even do voice chats if you have a microphone/speakers.

It’s free to use, and I personally love it. If you have not yet joined my discord group, I highly urge you to do so. You can join here: https://discord.gg/SfwSRDF

I’m going to start hanging out there every day, and in a blatant show of bribery, think I will run a few giveaways there, just to reward the folks who are brave enough to venture into the new territory.

I hope to see you all there!

New Non-Fiction Books!

You may have noticed two new covers appear in my website banner!

My long-time friend L.K. Glover and I recently gave in to our deep and abiding love for all things journals, planners, and medieval-esque wood prints, as well as a healthy appreciation for a snarky attitude toward life, and created a couple of books intended to help people through this trying time.

The first book, LOVE IN THE TIME OF THE PLAGUE is a survival journal and keepsake that offers fun coloring pages, lots and lots of journal space, and even a couple of organizational pages so you don’t lose track of the important stuff.

The second book in the series is geared toward parents with kids who are facing either virtual, in person, or hybrid classes. SCHOOL IN THE TIME OF THE PLAGUE gives parents resources to keep track of their children’s classes, appointments, class attendance (virtual and otherwise), and much, much more. It works for parents who homeschool, as well. Since we are passionate about children’s education, we are donating a portion of the proceeds of sales for SCHOOL IN THE TIME OF THE PLAGUE to an education-related charity. Currently, that charity is Shielding Our Defenders. You can read more about the charities we support at the Bee & Moon website.

STEAMED gets a new cover!

Steamed has received (at long last) a new cover. Why? The second book in the series will be out this autumn, and I thought it was the perfect time to update Steamed’s cover as well. If you’d like a signed print version with the new cover, hie thee over to my Etsy store listing.
