Here’s a chance for you to influence what I write!

Video version with dogs (because who doesn’t want to watch puppos playing?) here.

I’ve been thinking hard about the fun I can have with short stories/short novellas with regards to existing characters. As I’m deep in a re-listen to my dragon audio books (mostly so I can refresh my memory, but also because I love listening to the dragons), all sorts of fun scenes are dancing around in the empty tuna can that is my brain.

But it also got me thinking that I could write alternate POV scenes from books where I didn’t have the male POV (think the first ten dragon books). Want to see what Drake was doing before he walked into G&T and Aisling called him Puff the Magic Dragon? Need to know how Baltic felt when he saw Ysolde for the first time? What Jim thought of Aisling the first time it met her?

The alternative POV shorts can work outside of the dragon books, as well. Corest Diaries, Men in Kilts, Blow Me Down…all my books written before I started including male POVs are fair game.

But! I don’t want to go to the trouble of writing scenes from ALL the books (which, honestly, I’m thinking about…yes, a short story for Every. Single. Book.) if it’s not something you’d want to read.

Would you read shorts if I wrote them? Would they make you happy to see old friends (and alternate points of view [note to self, learn some swearing in Magyar for Drake]), or would it not be as much fun because they weren’t entire books?

Let me know what you think (you can click on the contact link for my e-mail addy), and whose POV you’re dying to see first.

I’m getting ready to send out my newsletter with the traditional (well, I started it last year) Virtual Weird or Not Weird Christmas card for my peeps. This year it’s going to be Weird and Weirder, because I just couldn’t find one that wasn’t…odd.

Anyway, you won’t get to pick your virtual Katie Mac Weird Holiday Card if you don’t fling yourself onto the newsletter before I send it out later this week!

People keep asking me for collection sets of books, and since I want to do what makes readers happy, I’ve started pulling some together. The first “box set” (AKA anthology/omnibus) of Greek books is now available, although it’s taking a bit of time to propogate out to all the e-book vendors.

If you haven’t read the Greek billionaire romcom series, you might be interested in the first collection, which includes books 1-3.

Friend Laron Glover and I finally wrestled our Alice in Wonderland full color (custom graphics created by Laron) journal into publication. It’s available in paperback and hardcover, and yes, there will be a B&N version for folks who prefer not to purchase at Amazon. Also, if you follow the link and click on Indiebound, you will find booksellers from whom you can order a copy.

I’m tickled pink that Bastian’s book, A CONFEDERACY OF DRAGONS, is now out in audio format, narrated by the talented and fabulous Hillary Huber. I just downloaded a copy, and will be applying Bastian directly to my ears. And a reminder for folks who have a tight book budget–your library system might well grab a copy for you if you request it!

You asked for it for years, and I finally managed to get a story written with both dragons and vampires. Dive into YOU SLEIGH ME today!

The preorder links are starting to go live. Release day is 20 September!  https://katiemacalister.com/books/the-stars-that-we-steal-from-the-night-sky/
