Release Day: PEACOCK ON PARADE

My new shifter romance PEACOCK ON PARADE is available now! This is the second in an ongoing story of novellas set around the fictionalized Fota Wildlife Park in Cork, Ireland; in these books, it’s the Shamrock Safari Wildlife Park and many of its residents–either permanent or temporary–are shifters who can transform from human into an animal form and back again. They’re light, fun, and charming, and I got to borrow a friend’s name for the heroine of this one, which made it even more fun to write than usual. :D…

Unfortunately, the OP responded with “if the main character isn’t dead, the story isn’t over!” ::LOOKS. INTO. THE CAMERA:: Part of me wants to say “I…

Bon Jovi discography revisitation – the 80s

Over on BlueSky, my friend Mame and I decided we were gonna do a chronological Bon Jovi discography revisitation and pick what we thought were the three best songs off each album. We’re going to include live albums and some compliations, as well as Jon’s solo stuff (at least, we’re going to do BLAZE OF GLORY. I assume we’re also doing DESTINATION ANYWHERE, but I haven’t verified that yet). That’s more than twenty albums, and IDK if we’re doing weekends, so it’ll take a while to get through it all!…

the crisis is averted…

…but hoo boy did i have a Very Bad Weekend with regards to Dropbox. At this point I do not require assistance. I’m just regaling you with the tale of Catie’s Very Bad Dropbox Experience. So. I discovered late-ish last year that I had some kind of catastrophic Dropbox failure EARLY last year for things I don’t need 99.9% of the time, so I only discovered it months after the fact. Like, in the end, it turned out that nearly half my files were showing as zero bytes. To the…
