Meet Wren Jones (as drawn by the lovely @linnpuzzle): rockstar drummer, fashion icon, and chaos goblin extraordinaire. I’m so happy to finally have their love story out in the wild as of this weekend! Please check it out—and if you leave a review just know you’ve made me cry with happiness.

Writing /The Rade 3: Thrall/ was a bit of a fever dream, which is appropriate for Wren, let’s be real. Thanks to Lin for the hard work as pro beta and sensitivity reader. (And to Andy, he knows what for 😂.) This one means a lot to me.

I hate "content" culture.

I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.

People used to be excited about the art that other people created.

People used to want to share that excitement with creators.

I hate this future.

Glorious art I commissioned back in 2021 from the amazing @linnpuzzle , featuring the main characters of my (soon to be finished!) urban fantasy novel A Werewolf in October. Posting it now to celebrate that I'm on track with my editing and should be able to fully declare the whole project "done" next year 🥳

In the first picture, from left to right, you have: 1) Isha, monster hunter in training. 2) Arturo, reluctant vampire. 3) Jayla, enthusiastic werewolf. They are the novel's POV characters, and as you can see in the second picture, they have some hidden magics 😊

Both ALCHEMIYA books are available as read by the wonderfully talented Jill Smith. They're both so delightful, seriously. Currently they're up at www.kateyhawthorneshop.com but they should appear in other places eventually. As always, buying direct gets you a discount 💜

What are these books? Uh, that's harder. Think historical fantasy with Regency mores and a lot of alchemy, though.

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Been hearing this is a problem again. Don't be a dick in bookmarks, folks. And yes while I made this image, I'm giving free reign. Take it. Spread it far and wide. Because I'm hearing that some readers don't know that their bookmarks are visible.

So pleased to introduce y'all to Harper, the sparkly and only vaguely terrifying lead singer of The Rade. Drawn by the amazing @linnpuzzle!

"...someday he’d go on stage in full lingerie. Just not today.

The mortal world wasn’t ready."

❤️🧚‍♂️💀😈💘

The Rade Book 1: Rival by Katey Hawthorne

Harper, lead singer of glam rock sensation The Rade, knows his face, his body, and his voice are beautiful---so what if he secretly suspects he's an unlovable mess? He and his bandmates escaped a tortured existence in Fairyland years ago, and now they use their glamour and style to delight mortals instead of enthralling them. They love what they do, so when another band starts talking trash on their authenticity, Harper has to clap back.

Beck O'Leary, lead singer of hard rock outfit Fireborn, has three platinum albums and the perfect life, and he's miserable. His bandmates are a joke, his family is held together with emotional duct tape, and his writing is, for the first time in his life, uninspired. He starts trash talking The Rade out of a petty grudge, but then keeps doing it for the thrill he gets from Harper's livestreamed reactions. And hates himself for both.

When the two front men finally meet, they can’t deny their physical attraction. Sparks fly after a charity football game, but fan gossip takes a dark turn. Between Beck's disintegrating life and Harper's secret Fae existence, there's a lot to handle if they want to hang onto the magic they've found in each other. Or maybe two lead singers in one relationship is just too much?

Coming all over the internets from JMS Books October 12, available for pre-order now. 😘

She is so cool and I love the worldbuilding. Thanks for letting me draw her!

More art commissioned from the amazing @linnpuzzle 💖💖💖 This is Yrsa, the best friend and love interest of the rå/huldra Aster from the previous art commission. Yrsa is a human runewitch, channeling her magic through writing as her focus. Her mother is a skyship merchant and her father is her mentor in magic. PS. There are runewitches, runemages, songwitches and songmages. Yes, I love making overly complicated social systems and magic systems~
