This week's story is about those jobs you have in high school.

This week's story is a little different... Horror anyone?

I do not know why my novel WANDERERS is a mere buck-ninety-nine at your favorite electric bookmonger site of choice, but it is, so if you want, y'know, creepy sleepwalking disease peri-apocalyptic sci-fi horror with a hefty dash of EAT SHIT A.I., then hey, it's 800 pages for 199 pennies.

Today's flash fiction is a little bit of fun....

This week's story has a little twist in its tail...

Hey did you know ☝🏼 that leaving your favorite creator or artist a 5-star review, sharing their work, writing kind comments, and/or telling them to their face is an ✨absolutely free✨ way to help them start the New Year off right!

All my books are 25% off right now!

This week's story is a wintery treat...

If you want to give your fave authors a gift this holiday season that won't cost <you> anything, one amazing thing you could do is post a wee review for readers saying what you liked about the book. bonus: cross-post to multiple sites! Reviews help with visibility! 👀

I use my library all the time. I’ve written so many of my books there and most of the books I read are from the library. It’s my second home.

Anyone else finish writing a book only to be haunted by the characters for weeks after? Love them to bits, but I need them to rest for a few weeks…

THIS makes me think

Your book made a best of 2024 list? Congrats! That’s great. Keep at it. You published something in 2024? Congrats! That’s great. Keep at it. You wrote something in 2024? Congrats! That’s great. Keep at it.

I love seeing posts with tips to help querying authors get signed by an agent, but a *lot* of these posts fail to mention that a huge part of getting signed is luck. Being in the right place at the right time with an agent who happens to want what you happen to be writing.

This week's story has romance and maybe something a little bit spooky going on...

Can't stress this enough: a random story you write on a lark may end up being the one that gets you the most recognition while the one you really love may get few reads and/or your worst reviews. Don't overthink it. Publishing is a gamble. You'll win some; you'll lose some.

This week's story is a bit of fun!

Check it out! There's 25% off all my books until 1 January.

Why is writing so hard???

This week's story is a little bit nasty!

I can never understand why children's books get left out of "great book" lists. The books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one. They are books for EVERYONE - and if you exclude them, you miss the most important books of all!

This week’s story is naughty and nice…https://medium.com/@katelarkindale/snack-time-3ad1fe0231a8

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

So, I signed a contract to publish my 6th novel this morning.

Your writing process will change on a daily basis with every project, because every project is different. Whatever gets you to the final product is the way that that book needed to be written. So I need you to stop scrolling and say this aloud right now. "My writing process is not broken."

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple kettles of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of croissants, then you will have accomplished more than enough.

This week's new story is up now. Would love to know what you think....

Just added fitness instructor to my resume. Does that now make me a triple threat?

Being a perfectionist in your writing is the default setting for new writers. We all start that way. But when you’re building a house, you don’t paint it as you go. You lay a foundation, build a structure, put in the wiring & pipes, build the walls and lay the floors, THEN you can think about paint.
