Hi guys!
          
          I know I'm not that active these days, and I'm sorry about that! I've got a lot of new things in the works, and I promise I haven't forgotten you guys.
          
          The past year I have made a lot of changes and grown. So much is changing and there is so much coming, just not necessarily on this platform or ones like it.
          
          I still plan to share my works on here before any publishing, but my main efforts will go to my website, my new upcoming patreon, and my new upcoming magazine!
          
          My patreon will get first access to my new works, as well exclusively stories and polls and more! The magazine will highlight indie creators like myself!
          
          These are going to take most of my time, especially now while I raise money for the magazine, but rest assured, I'm still here and still appreciative of all of you!
          
          
          If anyone is interested in learning more about my work and upcoming work, please feel free to go to my website KatWintersBooks.com and if anyone is able I would greatly appreciate any help funding the magazine:

          Thank you for everything!
          

Happy birthday to Free Me! It's been 1 year almost to the minute since I self published Free Me, something I couldn't have done without the constant support from everyone here.
          What better way to celebrate than to turn 21 myself in just a little bit!
          So happy Pride Month and happy birthday to Free Me!

Hey guys! I just added an update to Free Me to show you guys the next step in this wonderful journey! Please go check it out or go follow my social media for more information!

Two chapters into the SITNOL sequel, still no name, already renamed a character, no cover and 5 other WIPs to focus on….. how’s your week been? 

Preparations for publishing SITNOL have begun! We're so close to 10k reads so I'm hoping on it to get started right when we get there! I'm currently rereading it for errors and beginning noting plot changes, character adjustments, and because of that you might see lots of comments from me on my own story! I'm really excited to format and edit this book and get it out to you guys as soon as possible. My goal is late next year but I'm not going to rush myself and risk it being anything less than perfect. On top of this, I'm starting a sequel and a prequel of sorts! Neither will be posted on any free platforms before release, but a few chapters may be uploaded after publication. But there is a lot to do and I look forward to every step from cover designs to release day to merch and more! None of this would be possible without those of you who read and supported the story, especially @awinterlights who pushed me to continue the story years ago! Thank you for everything 

You guys! Me saying editing and preparations for publication start at 10k reads, doesn't mean blow up SITNOL! So upreprepared but so thankfully for all of you guys! Thank you so much for all the love and support!

Dont you love it when you have a new idea, but no idea what to name it or where to go with it? My brain is a force all it's own lol

IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR READERS (AND WRITERS IF YOU'RE INTERESTED)
          
          I am looking into Kindle Vella, my hope is to use it soon. It works a lot like wattpad, you publish your work chapter by chapter and people pay (dirt cheap) to read each chapter.
          
          I want to use it to gain an audience while saving up and earning money to cover publishing costs for my books such as editing and marketing. But I do have concerns.
          
          If I were to put my work on Kindle Vella, would you read it there and help support me?
          Would you still buy it if you already read it on kindle vella, with edits to grammar and plot of course?
          Would you think less of an author and their work if they put their first draft (rough and unedited) on Kindle vella and you had to pay for it?
          
          Any thoughts would be insanely appreciated, I want to get my work out there and publish more physical books, but it's a lot of work. Deciding what is and isn't worth it is hard and I'd appreciate the guidance and insight! 

Thank you guys for more than 6 thousand reads on Stop in the Name of Love! You have no idea what it means to me!
          I'm trying to work on new stuff to publish and as soon as I can I'll start posting again. And for all the SITNOL lovers, when it hits 10k reads I'll begin the publishing process of it!

Free Me can now be bought in ebook, paperback, AND hardback and is available on Barnes & Nobles website as well! More fun stuff is on the way as well as updates on Free Me's journey, the giveaway winner, the charity results, future publications, and more so hopefully you'll stay tuned.
          Be sure to check out Free Me and enter the giveaway while you have the chance!
