Here we go... Trying my first Goodreads giveaway. Fingers crossed it's worth the cost. LOL

I'm doing a live on the clock app tonight, Thurs Feb 27: Ask Me Anything about Kickstarters for Authors. 5pm pst / 8pm est www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2uYhc7L/

Just got an email from Draft 2 Digital: "You are Invited to try out Apple Digital Narration!" First of all: NO. Second of all, will the next email say, "Let our AI write your book for you!"?? FFS. #humanvoicesonly

I'll be live on tiktok.com/@dirkbiesinger with "Indie Visible" A fresh series, organized by @carablaine.bsky.social and @ashwardwrites.bsky.social . This series analyses the marketing representation and approach of indie authors and it's my privilege to be on the chopping block tonight at 5:30 pst.

A little over 24 hours left!

As of this weekend, I'll have two teenage boys in the house. Send grocery funds, please. LOL. (Or buy my books...)

NEW 8 pocket sized journals for $30 Ships with a bonus standard size journal 5 to choose from. Best deal I can offer moranpress.bigcartel.com/product/eigh...

I have a Discord server with an amazing community. (Invite in my linktree to join us!) Today @dirkbiesinger.bsky.social posted a list of writing and other stuff he got done in the last week. Dirk: Cara, your turn. Me: I did lots of stuff but mostly Kickstarter rules my life right now. LOL

Backers have unlocked FIVE stretch rewards in the Kickstarter campaign! 🙂 A bonus spicy scene, a short story, a preview of book two in the duology, a vellum overlay with every print book, and a new character art commission.

This happened. 😅 I'm a founding member! 😁 tucson.com/thisistucson...

The B&N signing went well, but this review of Token of a Wolf is what really made my day. 💜

Where are my #Tucson romantasy readers? I'll be signing at B&N tomorrow, Feb 1! Come get a signed copy before all of my books are banned... LOL

My Token of a Wolf Campaign got the Project We Love designation on Kickstarter! Token of a Wolf is a Little Red Riding Hood inspired urban romantic fantasy. What if the Big, Bad Wolf wasn't actually the villain? And what if Little Red found herself allying with him... and even falling for him?

Thanks for the support, y'all! This was a little bit ago, the campaign is currently 500% funded, after meeting the initial goal in the first five minutes! :)

Welp for reasons, this will launch a week early... so if you're following the pre launch page, check your email this afternoon. ;)

I am (im)patiently waiting for two new bookish art commissions I'm so excited for, both for Token of a Wolf. Just over a week until the Kickstarter launches! I can't wait for everyone to meet The Wolf, Roux, and Ben. 😍

A vigilante antihero. A system of corruption. One man trying to take down the system that held him captive. No where to go. No one to trust. Malcolm Karma: Cold Turkey is a gritty, twisty, edge of your seat thriller that will keep you guessing. #booksky #kindleunlimited #thrillerbooks bit.ly/49Ek4k5

Lalalala what inauguration lalalala I can't hear you I'm writing a book with a bunch of queer Latine characters in a poly relationship lalalala

Can't wait to see the art piece I commissioned for the upcoming Kickstarter based on this scene. 😁 Voice clip by the amazing PJ Freebourn.

We did it! My street team and I wanted to get to at least 200 Kickstarter pre-launch followers and LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE HERE 🎉 (I got a decent chunk going live on TT, I don't want it to go awaaayyyy waahhh 😭)

I read this book as an ARC, and it was sooooo good! If you like stalker, dark, poly, shifter, bruja, magical, mystery I promise you'll like this book! Go check out @carablaine.bsky.social kickstarter for Token Of A Wolf. The pre-launch starts February 4th 😁🥰😁

Got another ARC review. I'm not crying you're crying. 😭

Just reposting the Booktok Lifeboat. Figured it’d been a few weeks. Click the link to the starter pack, then in the upper right select “follow all” if you don’t want to follow one at a time. Boat 1 is almost full, but I’ll keep making starter packs as long as I need to🩶 go.bsky.app/2CoCoBq

weird to see the “we need a revolution” people talking about not using social media at all if tiktok’s gone. cause meta is moving like X. but that sounds like a win for the gov? cause have yall come up w another way to share important info w the masses? newsletters? newspapers? zines? blogs?

So the thing is, I didn't think the apocalypse would take so long. All the movies make you think it'll be drastic and sudden, not like death by a thousand cuts, you know?

He wanted freedom. He got revenge. Malcolm Karma: Cold Turkey is the noir thriller you won’t put down. It’s brutal, it’s raw, and it’ll haunt you long after the last page. Are you ready? #CrimeReads #ThrillerBooks #AmReading #Bookrecomendations #booklover #indieauthor bit.ly/49Ek4k5

Hey so I also have some ya/na fantasy books out, I just suck at marketing them 😅🤷‍♀️🤣

A reader sent me this review of Luxe in Quest: Luxe's Lullaby Trilogy Book Two (audiobook format). I'm not crying you're crying @paigevoice.bsky.social

My kids know me so well and send me the best vids/memes. This am my 13 yr old sent me a "Get Ready with Frog" vid (we both enjoy this series by @indiacrawford on YT)... PRIDE & PREJUDICE EDITION. 😍Made my whole morning. Oh also, I requested a refund for my Booksirens annual membership bc... ew.

"Clean" is a NOT a term one should apply to ART. If the floor is dirty--ie, covered in DIRT--you can make it clean. Leaving s*x out of a book doesn't make it clean, because s*x is NOT dirty. Leave that Puritan shit back in the 1600s where it belongs. I will die on this hill.

I'm a mom of two kids who are apparently both at the teen stage of FAFO. I'm considering documenting my grey hair growth over the next few years because it's gonna be a wild ride.

Bad news: #spoonie levels required a *special* gummy today. Good news: thanks to that gummy, I was able to get my entire newsletter done in less than two hours and I still have plenty of time for writing today. Bad news: we never have enough snacks around. Good news: husband brought me a slushie.

Not a bad bookish start to the new year. I stayed up too late because I didn't want to stop reading (Unaccounted For by Chelsea Blyss, office romcom), and I woke up to a book sale on the zon.

That feeling when you are working your "real job" but you can't stop refreshing your KDP Reports page because your new book JUST CAME OUT! #writerslife #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerproblems bit.ly/49Ek4k5

These books are so gorgeous, I'll just let the graphics speak for themselves. LOL. Check it out if you witchy urban romantasy...

I got the proofs of the special editions for my next book! I'm in love. 😍 If you like urban romantasy and beautiful books, go follow my Kickstarter Pre-launch Page! 😁💜
