Home 9 Newsletter 9 Black Kat News: Feb 2020

What’s New

Welcome, friends, to another edition of Black Kat News!

Hugh Harrison here. I’m still stuck somewhere in the ether with my brother, Dale, hoping to get back home soon. The calculations are complex and events here have kept us a tad bogged down, murderous cousins and all. Meanwhile, the Supers are in the process of making some revisions to the first three Black Kat books and preparing to get the next book out the door. 

A very special welcome to all of our new readers, who have come in through recent giveaways. We’re SUPER happy to have you with us!

BLACK  KAT  REVAMPS

Black Kat Series: First 4 Books

Our revamps to the first three Black Kat books continue:

  • We’ve re-numbered the books. It was too confusing to have Unlucky Charm as “Book Zero.” It’s now Book 1. Hopefully this will make the series order clearer going forward.
  • We’ve also branded the series as a Superhero Urban Fantasy, which we believe to be the correct genre for the books.
  • We’ve said goodbye to co-author C.J. Weatherly. No hard feelings. She wasn’t “pulling her weight” (because she’s a character in another series!) Kim remains our main author/dictationist. We like to bug her to no end with our stories, day and night, in bed, in the shower, you name it. We speak, she types. Too slowly sometimes. There are many books left and not enough hours in the day!
Also of note: 

Revisions to Unlucky Charm are almost done. This will be available FREE to all newsletter subscribers. We’ll send out a link as soon as it’s finished. If you purchased a copy, no worries, we have you covered. We’ll push the updates out on Amazon and all other online stores.

Next up:

  • We’ll be working on smoothing out a few wrinkles in Kat & Mouse and God Save the Queen.
  • Kat & Mouse will also get a new cover because I’m getting a makeover. Imagine that! I was told I needed one, since it’s hard to capture my actual appearance “on camera,” due to my illusions and my hair color. There might just be a sneak peek at the bottom of this email. I do hope Kat likes it. Then she might not shoot me for missing Valentine’s Day. I can only hope!
  • All of these changes will delay Book 4: Playing with Fire just a little longer.
Why? Because even Supers aren’t perfect. We’ve learned so much in the past four years and want to bring you the best stories we can. So stick with us, the best is yet to come!

Black Kat IV: Playing with Fire

SNEAK  PEEK:  PLAYING  WITH  FIRE

 

Here’s a sneak peek at the prologue for the next Black Kat Book. We’re setting up an Advanced Reader group and will have beta copies available in the near future.

Firefighter Shane Sumner has a secret. 
He’s not the brave, hometown hero everyone thinks he is. He’s fireproof, and possibly crazy, or telepathic. Now the dog is talking to him, along with the plants, threatening to upend his sham of a perfect life. Can he conceal his strange abilities or will they expose him for the freak he knows he is?

One hot mess deserves another…
Life isn’t easy for a fire shifter. Fiona and Aislinn’s powers keep them homeless and just might have burnt down the Denver safe house. The streets are full of Rogues and unsavory characters; their chances of survival look bleak. Prince Charming isn’t coming. Or is he? A handsome, flame-retardant stranger may be the answer to all their problems.

Join Hugh, Kat, Jacob and the rest of the gang as the adventures continue and the stakes are raised in Playing with Fire.

A Witch Called Red by Sami ValentineA WITCH CALLED RED

Red might not remember her enemies, but they remember her.

Taken in by a supernatural bounty hunter, Red spent the last year searching for her true identity. All she found were monsters to kill. When a murdered model washes up on a lonely beach, she goes to Los Angeles to investigate. Instead of angels in the shadow of the Hollywood Sign, she only finds more bodies. And vampires who know her better than she knows herself.

In a world where demons have souls, witches have amnesia, and humans are clueless about either, Red needs to keep her
wits sharp and her stake sharper.

Or she’ll die before she even learns her real name.
