Announcing Pride with a Bite - An Upcoming Indie Publisher of LGBTQIA+ Horror

Happy Saturday, Everyone! I am excited to officially announce a project that I have been developing – Pride with a Bite, an indie publisher of LGBTQIA+ based horror by LGBTQIA+ creators for the LGBTQIA+ community! My new indie publishing house will officially launch in June 2024. This indie pub will feature a quarterly eZine, anthology opportunities, and solo projects. I am still developing…

What's the last indie book you read (title and author, please)? If you don't have one, tell me what you're up to this weekend.

Honestly, this book had me at a character worrying about the cats-over-people quote on the back and the tiger on the front. I'm always worrying about the same thing. 😅 Sorry, not sorry. Cats over people!

I love that Rainbow Crate has picked a lot of indies that I'd never have heard of if it wasn't for them. I didn't go out of my way to read them because 1.) I didn't read ebooks much, and 2.) they're not as easily accessible as traditionally published books. But now that I've got an eReader and a nice stack of indie hardbacks, I'm doing my best to add more to my yearly reading.

The cover reveal is HERE! I loved making this one so much and I'm so happy with how it turned out after all the versions it went through.

This book is about a shape shifting siren with imposter syndrome, a wall street type gargoyle, and the never ending business trip they're stuck on together.

If you ever are self-publishing or illustrating a paperback, an absolutely essential tool is this page, which gives you the exact pixel count of a book spine based on its page count, and/or a template you can use for the correct width/height ratio.

The alternative blurb for Rotting Trees is 'sometimes teenagers are the meanest people in the room and sometimes they are the only people in the room worth listening to AND WHO KNOWS WHICH IT WILL BE ON ANY GIVEN DAY'

Damn, I love alliteration. This novella was fun to draft and a slog to edit and revise. But as with all projects, at some point things started to click into place and I’ve become mildly obsessed with this book. I’m really excited that it’s finally out in the world and it’s available in so many places. Radio Romance is joining Let it Rain on Kobo and its subscription service Kobo+ and I’m really…

Do you read indie books?

I'll admit, I don't read many because a lot are only available via eBook, and I have retention issues with that format. However, since subscribing to Rainbow Crate and getting one every month, I've read more. I typically use the ebooks as work reads because it's easier to access than carrying around a full physical book. Though I guess now that they're including physical copies that'll change. 😅

This edition of The Name-Bearer by Natalia Hernandez is GORGEOUS! I love that the original cover was printed on the naked hardcover. The edges are stunning and I love that the top and bottom aren't plain like a lot of digital edges are. These special editions are top tier!

I’m thrilled to tell you all, the LOVE LAUGH LICH audiobook comes out today!! I’m utterly blown away by Rachel Leblang’s performance. Go give it a listen, you can find it on audiobooks.com.

Some people have monsters for a boss, but not everyone has an undead Necromancer Lord at the office. Lily has been the Lich’s secretary ever since his evilness took over the company. She loves her job, but she’s got some questions about her boss. Like what’s under that cloak of ever-billowing. Her wondering intensifies when one day the Lich needs something from her that isn’t just scheduling appointments– but a shiver. He needs it for a spell, but it feels like it crosses a line from their usual workplace banter. After her contributions to his dark rituals become more than OSHA compliant, she starts to contemplate whether the Lich Lord returns her feelings, or still only sees her as his secretary. Lily may have given him her body, but he never asked for her heart.

Love, Laugh, Lich is a M/F office monster romance with light comedic elements, roughly 17k words. Content notes can be found at kate-prior.com 💀💖
