The Indoctrination by KL Bone is a space opera that grabbed me. This one has been out for more than ten years now, so if you only look at new releases, you may have missed it. #AMoRaR
Book cover of The Indoctrination by K.L. Bone. To gain an Empire, she must sacrifice her humanity. The cover shows outer space and some planets with the silhouette of the back of a woman in a red gown. As the gown spreads out, another image is laid across the gown of what looks like a water world with some castles rising up out of the water.

And yet another font change (cringe!), but, again, hopefully I'm conveying the right info, as we slide into outer space in this book.

Feeling a bit bold with my font layers here. Hopefully signalling my genre mixing a touch and not scaring any readers away with my graphic art "skills."

Fierce Little Bat wanted to go outside, and I wouldn't let her, so she bit my oversized sweatshirt sleeve. I started cracking up because she's just so tiny. Then I realized I'd better set a precedent so she doesn't think biting gets good results. 1/

"Dark, misty, macabre settings surrounded by the dead give this story a spooky vibe, but the characters are full of hope and humor." -Kassandra's Musings. Book cover of Grave Cold by Shannon Knight. Backdrop photo of a marble angel statue in a cemetery full of large evergreens.

Here's an old self-portrait of myself writing. Writing is a personal, often uncomfortable, experience. The process is important.
Simplistic watercolor of the back of a woman seated at a desk. The wall, desk, and the woman's clothes are all blue-toned. Her arms are above her head and she's pulling red threads from her head, which are falling in a tangle across the white pages laid across the table. The woman has black hair to her jeans and is barefooted. Signature says S. Knight 2014.

"Oh my. OK. Phew. This book is like a boulder rolling downhill: starts ever so slowly and builds up steam until it's rolling like a freight train and smashing everything it comes across. It was very unexpected, brutal, tense, and I loved every minute." -Melissa O. Five stars. Paperback of Domestication by Shannon Knight held up next to a black ram with curling horns. The cover also has a ram with horns and a canine skeleton emerging from it during a sheering.

"I have no words. Disturbing but great book. Will not be going to a farm in the middle of nowhere. Read it all in a day. Every chapter was like oh and ooohhh." -Meilissa, Goodreads. Paperback of Domestication by Shannon Knight held up with a frosty background setting with sun just breaking over the next mountain ridge.

I used to hear frustrated people say, "That's it! I'm becoming a sheep farmer!" And I always thought that was hilarious because sheep farming is not the tranquil ideal they're imagining. Sheep farming is such a horror setting. So I wrote a book about a woman escaping to a sheep farm.

Domestication has a comic-style illustration of a ram being sheared and a carnivorous skeleton emerging. The blurb says, "Jump out of the frying pan and into the fire on an isolated sheep farm where domestication is a death sentence." Grave Cold has a close-up photo of a woman's face. She's covered in frost and lit in violet light. Tagline says, "Protect the dead."
