For everyone losing their minds over Heated Rivalry and now looking for some more romance with hockey players, may I suggest my books?
WAKE UP, NAT & DARCY is a second chance romance between two former college teammates turned Team USA and Canada rivals who are working together to cover the Olympics
Cover of Wake Up, Nat & Darcy. Two women, one with long blonde hair and the other with long brown hair, stand on a hockey rink looking at each other Cover of Yours For The Season featuring two women, one with a ponytail and undercut and the other with long blonde hair and bangs. Each has a cup of cocoa and they are staring at each other, smiling.

My wife and I went to @belmontbooks.bsky.social yesterday to see my books! Always so exciting (especially did not realize my hair also seemed a bit wackadoodle but oh well)

YOURS FOR THE SEASON is out now with zero thanks to Puck who impeded my progress at every turn but is still very cute and sweet.

Happy International Lesbian Day! Three of four of my main characters are lesbians (and Ali is bisexual, in case you were wondering)

Three weeks until YOURS FOR THE SEASON is out! You can preorder it anywhere books are sold (my local indie is @belmontbooks.bsky.social but @bookshop.org is always a great choice).
It also means you have three weeks to read WAKE UP, NAT & DARCY if you want to meet Coxie there first.
Cover of the book YOURS FOR THE SEASON which features Ali, a blonde with bangs and red lipstick wearing winter boots, black pants, red sweater, and cream scarf with her hand on JT's thigh. JT is wearing brown pants, a white button down, black boots, and sporting an undercut in her brown ponytail. They each have a beverage and are leaning toward each other.

Working remotely has its perks
Two labradors, one chocolate and one black, are curled up on a couch looking at me taking their picture. They are perfect

"Kate Cochrane delivers a spicy, sapphic, cozy holiday romance that will leave you curling your toes and smiling at the pages long into the night! Readers who love small town vibes, sports romances, and brother's best friend tropes will devour this book in one sitting and come back for more." --Lindsay Maple, author of Holly Jolly July

YOURS FOR THE SEASON got a lovely review from @libraryjournal.bsky.social
You can read the entire thing her www.libraryjournal.com/review/yours...
“Cochrane’s (Wake Up, Nat and Darcy) latest is a satisfying and sexy sapphic holiday romance. JT and Ali give each other much needed support and love, and readers will enjoy watching as they fall for each other. Recommend to those who enjoyed Make the Season Bright by Ashley Herring Blake.” -Library Journal

@strictscrutiny.bsky.social @profmmurray.bsky.social @leahlitman.bsky.social @kateshaw.bsky.social I don't think you can ever trust AI but this is so random I had to share.
Leah is married to a jiu jitsu world champion? She has three children (none of whom is Stevie)?

Okay, it's here!
I love it. Thank you to artist, Monika Roe and art director, Amy Wetton for taking the few ideas I had and turning it into this perfect cover!
Coxie's muscles and undercut! Ali's whole vibe! The setting and the skates! Could not love it more!

Hi, new followers. I wanted to say hi and let you know my debut sapphic romance novel, WAKE UP, NAT & DARCY came out in November. It's a second chance romance between two retired ice hockey players (Team USA & Team Canada) who fall back in love covering the Olympics
