I'm incredibly honored to be a part of this anthology, the theme of which is invisible illness. As a spoonie, the phrase "See me as I am" is our constant entreaty to society. All of the profits will be donated to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Pre-orders go live in a week!

Just got an email from Draft 2 Digital: "You are Invited to try out Apple Digital Narration!"

First of all: NO. Second of all, will the next email say, "Let our AI write your book for you!"??

FFS.

I have a Discord server with an amazing community. (Invite in my linktree to join us!)

Today @dirkbiesinger.bsky.social posted a list of writing and other stuff he got done in the last week.

Dirk: Cara, your turn.
Me: I did lots of stuff but mostly Kickstarter rules my life right now. LOL

Backers have unlocked FIVE stretch rewards in the Kickstarter campaign! 🙂 A bonus spicy scene, a short story, a preview of book two in the duology, a vellum overlay with every print book, and a new character art commission.

My Token of a Wolf Campaign got the Project We Love designation on Kickstarter!

Token of a Wolf is a Little Red Riding Hood inspired urban romantic fantasy.

What if the Big, Bad Wolf wasn't actually the villain? And what if Little Red found herself allying with him... and even falling for him?

Thanks for the support, y'all! This was a little bit ago, the campaign is currently 500% funded, after meeting the initial goal in the first five minutes! :)

Welp for reasons, this will launch a week early... so if you're following the pre launch page, check your email this afternoon. ;)
I am (im)patiently waiting for two new bookish art commissions I'm so excited for, both for Token of a Wolf. Just over a week until the Kickstarter launches! I can't wait for everyone to meet The Wolf, Roux, and Ben. 😍

A vigilante antihero.
A system of corruption.
One man trying to take down the system that held him captive.
No where to go.
No one to trust.
Malcolm Karma: Cold Turkey is a gritty, twisty, edge of your seat thriller that will keep you guessing. #booksky #kindleunlimited #thrillerbooks
