A lot of people nowadays read books on devices. Kindles, phones, computers… there are plenty of electronic methods of reading a book. Personally, I prefer hard copies of books. I like being able to flip the pages back and forth. I like how a book feels in my hands. And words on a paper page READ MORE

Whew, that was a lot!
This past week, a well-known and well-respected male/male romance author took over an hour out of her day to chat with me on Facebook Messenger about how to improve my books and thereby, hopefully, improve my visibility and sales. I’m not naming her here because I don’t know if she would want me to. Among READ MORE
Upcoming
It’s hard to believe it will be 2025 in just a few days! While I don’t know exactly what the year holds for me–and, after the past few years, don’t want to speculate–I have made some writing and publishing plans. On January 9, I’ll release Bring on the Broccoli (Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat 7). READ MORE

The disadvantage of being a self-published author is that I’m the one who has to make those changes. Hooch and Howls will be out on March 14, as previously announced. That book is nearly READ MORE
I Have a Migraine…
I was going to write something profound-ish, or at least interesting, but I have a migraine and can’t think about anything other than the funny jagged colors dancing in front of my eyes. So instead, I’m sharing this picture of all of the books I’ve self-published, as Karenna Colcroft and under other names, since May READ MORE
Going “Wide”
I posted several weeks ago about why my books are currently only available through Amazon. However, that will be changing in 2024. Amazon has a subscription service called Kindle Unlimited, which allows people to pay a monthly cost and access a large number of Kindle books that they can read; those books are removed from READ MORE
