Hi. Hello. Yes, it’s me. Still here. Still alive. Somehow.
I know, I know. I haven’t updated in forever. You’d think being a writer would make me good at, you know, writing things, but apparently my brain files “blog posts” under “optional side quests” and promptly forgets they exist. I can churn out 70,000 words about knights and doomed love, but ask me to post an update and suddenly I have no hands.
Anyway, updates! Because things have been happening, even if I’ve been terrible at saying so.
Oath, a project I started in a manic episode and was supposed to only be 20k words got out of hand and now it’s a whole novel and it’s coming out on November 28th! Yay!
I’m going to do as poorly at advertising it as I do most things, but hey, I am trying. I’ve reached out to some lovely book reviewers about sending PR boxes, so hopefully that works out and people start yelling about it on the internet in a good way.
I am always writing though, most of the time. I have several other books in the pipeline. I have AuDHD, which is great for having a creative brain but I have no control over which one I can work on at any given time. So while I’m technically always writing, I’m also never finishing anything. It’s fine.
That said, I’m really hoping to get my sapphic romantasy Thistles & Thorns out in the first few months of next year. It was almost done! And then I decided to change a major plot point because apparently I hate myself. So now I’m about 3/4 of the way through rewriting the whole thing. But that’s just… my process. 100% chaos and then things kinda just work out.
Anyway! I hope you’re enjoying the books I have managed to get out into the world, and I really hope you’re excited for Oath. It’s a story that means a lot to me, and I had so much fun writing it.
Okay. Bye.
Kate Butler
