A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic, and My Former Self
I'll be joining J.Penner at The Spine & Vine bookstore on May 22nd to celebrate her new release, Death Meets Cute. While preparing for the event, I renewed my love of words on a page by reading one of her earlier books.
❓The Ethical Question of Qrodin’s Magic
Does removing someone's free will to feel — without their consent — benefit everyone? Or just him?

I am so excited to finally reveal the cover for FRAMED by my Digital Doppelganger! 🚨 This story is a mix of high-tech identity theft and the very low-tech reality of three people who can’t stand each other trying to save their best friend from a 20-year sentence.

Framed by my Digital Doppelganger
When Hathaway Greystone is hauled off to Franklin County for a high-stakes cyber-heist, the evidence is a digital masterpiece. A pixel-perfect clone didn't just steal her face—it mirrored her habits, mimicked her voice, and signed her name to a crime that carries…
Five Star review for Catching Qat by K.T. Pike that quotes: "By the first two sentences I was hooked. I laughed, felt sadness, anger, cheered for the characters accomplishments and growth, and felt proud of them like they were my own friends and family. Then the most wondrous and amazing thing happened. I started to feel the memories of my younger self and the reasons I fell in love with reading in the first place." Reader Refiew for Catching Qat on Goodreads

🖋️ Behind the Page: Why Qat Uses Ae/Aem/Aer
Every character tells you who they are eventually—you just have to listen. In 2017, when I first "met" Qat, the protagonist of Catching Qat, ae was a bit of a mystery. One moment, Qat presented as female; the next, male. When I finally asked for clarity,…

It’s Never Too Late to Find Your Magic: My Journey from Library Manager to Starred-Review Author

With a heart to rival Qat's ego and the courage to stand up to Kasaandra's surliness, Bell holds the crew together with determination and pheasant pie...despite her diminutive size. She will make you laugh and make you cry...just don't get on her bad side.
