4 Signs You’re No Longer A Beginning Writer

On August 23, 2019November 19, 2021 By K.M. Allan31 Comments

When you decide to be a writer, you've got to start somewhere. That somewhere usually includes a place where you have no idea what you're doing, hate everything you write, don't feel as if you're a writer—let alone a good one, and someone who feels like it's a constant struggle to even get words down on the page. …

Signs You’re Afraid of Finishing Your Manuscript

On January 25, 2019 By K.M. Allan40 Comments

Just dropped off some signed copies of #Blackbirch: The Ritual at @dymocksknoxcity all ready for tomorrow’s release!
So, what did we think of the cover for #Blackbirch: The Ritual? Book 3 will be out on the 17th for a *special launch price* for a limited time. All the details are at the link in my bio!

Today's new #blog post is the cover, title, release date, and pre-order links for #Blackbirch 3! It’s out August 17th (yep, in 2 days). Check everything out at the link in my bio 😊.
