@catandherwips
(she/her) Author of MERE FLESH, the Fate's Fall duology, the Tales from Lyrassan standalone books, & the Lustrous Divinity novels. Dog & toddler mom. Fan of Ghost, Soulsborne games, bg3, & Eternal Love of Dream. NO GEN AI 😡
I have some unpleasant vet bills that keep coming up for my senior scottie dog (who is my first baby) sooo if anyone was holding off on getting my books that would be really cool if some of y'all got them soon.
(also because somehow I'm a professional) some thoughtful marketing for my morally grey fmcs 🥀
Nawt my dumb brain trying to distract me from big revision 2 with actual dutch/lady gunslinger fanfic ideas that might turn into a sexy short story/novella if the fixation lasts
Who else is celebrating Summerween? I'm currently reading an angel horror book by an indie author.
It's so far, but at least there's something semi official to look forward to! The book itself will have title/synopsis/release date info coming much sooner. 💚
What are you reading for Disability Pride Month?? Please consider my autumnal cottagecore fantasy novel A SONG FOR THE ROAD! - www.amazon.com/dp/B08L6ZVRBZ
June has been pleasantly busy with a big accomplishment or two, a really fun concert, & lots of reading with very few dnfs! I'm also sharing my best of the year so far 💚
Summers can make me hibernate, but that doesn't mean I don't have plans! Part of this means refilling the creative well. I have some fun reads, games, & shows planned for while I convince my body I'm still young & can at least walk quickly on my little treadmill for an hour each day. 💀
Obligatory mention that while Bettina is hugely different in her ways, Odette did inspire a decent amount (if you can't tell 💀)
First cartoon crush? It was a tie I think. Beast (both forms 🤪 no wonder I liked Bloodborne 🤨 ) & Odette.
My mom's car just had to greet my kid and start purring over us talking on the video call
I'm officially starting the revision stage of VULTURES WIP (title coming soon!). There's also a possibility at least one edition of this book will be available in October because I am terrible at keeping my own secrets. So yes...please clap & stick around for me to market this spooky gothic book. 💚
Finished ye olde wip at 130k words and exactly a year and a half of drafting 😭😭
Hi, I'm Catherine! I'm a bi author & I'm working on my 8th book: a sapphic medieval gothic novel. I'm literally on the last chapter/bonus chapter, so this month I want to finish & get through the first organizational revision. #LGBTQwriteathon @queerwriters.bsky.social
Marzanna was my first queer protagonist. I wrote Render to Silver & published it after I came out as bi. I was...very anxious how readers would receive it after I wrote 4 books as a "straight" author. My work has only turned more queer since then (2023)!
Never ever buy rice krispies, you are depriving yourself of fresh ones!
Getting this one in practically last minute because I have not lacked things to do while I've been abstaining from posting as much! The big takeaway here is that vultures wip is almost done & it's going to be a season of announcements this summer.
MERE FLESH could use some support from readers who appreciate a good redemption arc for someone who is actually a bad person (not only misunderstood) at the story's beginning. (I'm a bi author & this book is bi4bi, why choose, poly, & queer in general).
My latest book is Edwardian era demon summoning romance. It's a redemption arc for an ambitious heiress. I loved writing how much of a mess she really is despite her cold exterior! Rep - bi4bi + why choose + sapphic & achillean + show-stealing 🏳️⚧️ character Cover - @warickaart.bsky.social
