how annoyed am i that that rhymes and ‘state of the catie’ doesn’t I had a dream of knocking out 50K a month several times this year. So far I’ve not yet cracked 100K for the year. I realize it is only the 2nd of April and there’s plenty of time to do the former despite the latter. I’m still depressed about it. :p And, like, yes, I had revisions the first working week of the year, and then I went afk for several working days, and then I had…
I stayed up too late last night to watch Cory Booker smash that old racist bastard’s filibuster record into dust, and it was fully worth it. As soon as I woke up this morning, I picked up my phone to see how long he’d held the floor in the end, and the first thing I saw was “Pour one out for Madmartigan, lads.” So between Cory Booker, Val Kilmer, & a lack of sleep, I’m pretty emotionally compromised this morning (which, phrased like that, sounds like it’s much more scandalous than…

A lot of it has been “once this is done, Future Catie’s life will be MUCH EASIER,” and at this point, all of that admin is in fact done. That stuff was stuff I could not hand off to my husband, but,…
It’s the Virtue Shifters as you’ve never heard (or seen!) them before! I’m absolutely chuffed to announce the relaunch of my Virtue Shifter romcoms with all-new covers, the first audio book, & more stories on the way! To celebrate, the TIMBER WOLF e-book is free this week, and the audio book is now available pretty much wherever you like to listen to audio books at!
