Good people! This is the dawn of a new era, an era that shall be forthwith labeled "The Substackian Era"! Truth be told, I've heard a lot of great things about this platform and have seen some wonderful content here from friends and other horror authors.
I’ve wanted to be able to offer more content to my followers for some time and did back in the day before it got to be too much for me. With the new option for paid content here, I’ll be able to hopefully get back to doing some of the old classics that I really enjoyed doing before (and hopefully provide fun things for you to read, watch, and listen to).
Some of what you can expect with the free subscription are:
Monthly updates - Keeping you up-to-date on my books coming out, current sales, events I’m doing, and more.
Paid-content subscription:
Cooking Adventures - Here are the facts: one, I am not a very good cook. Two, I am a decent baker (but occasionally have my downs). Three, I accept this and want to keep learning new recipes anyway. These would be documented tales of me trying to make new recipes and the triumphs/failures that ensue.
Inspiration Through Music - When I’m writing, I tend to listen to music that will help put me in touch with the scene I’m trying to create. I study songs for the emotions they evoke. ITM will be either an examination of songs that have inspired me or a writing sprint based exercise I’ve done based on a song I’ve listened to. You’re encouraged to participate in the comments if you’d like!
Small Press Tips - I’ve been writing and selling my own books for the last thirteen years. In the last three, I’ve established my own small press and have been learning the tips and tricks of the trade. I’ll happily pass on some of the things I’ve learned to you all, too!
The Kat at Night Podcast - I’m planning to start this podcast soon and will likely have guests on. The premise is finding inspiration to write horror in non-horror things. Dark undertones in films, music, tv… Bizarre stories heard in the news, situations encountered in real life…
Other miscellaneous content - Taste tests of backpacking food, necessities in hiking gear for your wilderness-bound characters, movie reviews, etc. Who knows what strange things you might encounter…
Thanks all for being here! Can’t tell you how much it means to me that you’ve stopped by and have read this super long intro post. I hope this will be a place for you to find fun, informative, or at least entertaining content in the future.
Cheers,Kat
