I do love this time of year! Lights flickering, the dark and cold days and nights, the stories and magic...I love it all! It really is a busy time, so I haven't been on SM much recently, and I do tend to shut down the writing desk and take a step back to enjoy time with family and friends. 🖤🎄🖤

Christmas is the time for ghost stories... Crumbling mansions, haunted hallways and secrets seeping from the very walls... The Quiet Stillness of Empty Houses is the perfect read for those cold, dark days. 🖤🗝 Available from your favourite book retailers including @quillandcrowpublishinghouse.com

Hey. Kate here. Teacher, writer, mother—not necessarily in that order. Book dragon. Lover of romantasy and shiny things.

Heir to The Sun is sitting pretty at 12 ratings ranging from 1 ⭐ to 5 ⭐ lol (it also goes on sale tomorrow/when KDP updates) books2read.com/u/mZXA0l

I'd like to boost some hidden gems, so if your books have less than 50 ratings on GR or the Zon, leave your cover and a link below and I'll boost it! (Actually post your cover, fam! A link on its own is not as pretty as a cover pic!)

I've missed a few of these because I've been poorly 🖤 Teya: Almost eaten, betrayed by many close to her, witnessed innumerable horrors. Laphaniel: (See above.) Also...because ord all the events in Far Beneath the Wicked Woods Sorry not sorry 🥰 #fantasyindiesnovember @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social

The weather is turning darker and colder and it's the perfect time for fairytales... The woods are dark and wicked,and perhaps some things would be better off staying lost… A sensual, dark faerie tale, full of delicious romance and delightful gothic imagery 🖤 #darkromance

How have my characters changed? Well, in the very first draft of The Bone Drenched Woods (when it was a cute cosy folk horror) Hyacinth was a rather sweet and naive young woman and now she is weary, and stubborn and filled with rage and sorrow.🖤💀🖤💀 #fantasyindiesnovember

Just realized that my book has been out for a month. Thanks to everyone that has picked up a copy! Don't forget to leave a review when you're done 🖤

Free Friday! Here's a little teaser for the cover of The Bone Drenched Woods, coming next year from the deliciously gothic @QuillandCrow I'm not ashamed to say I screamed and then cried when I saw this...its perfect! 💀 #fantasyindiesnovember @fantasyindies.bsky.social @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social

Was lovely to enjoy the snow today! No more due but it is meant to stay quite chilly! 🖤❄️🖤

WIP subgenres...oooh this is a tricky one. The Bone Drenched Woods is gothic folk horror, beneath that...perhaps religious fiction...a dash of dark fantasy horror. Eldritch horror. It's definitely not a romance! 🤣 #fantasyindiesnovember @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social @fantasyindies.bsky.social
