Writer, Editor, Word-Wrangler
Scam Alert!
Apparently, someone is claiming to be me and representing themselves as an editor associated with HBG Basic Liberty. They’ve stolen my photo (long hair, black leather jacket), my bio, and refer to my website, but the “Kat Richardson” at yahoo is NOT me. If you receive anything from this fake Kat, do not engage. HGB Basic Liberty is a real press, but this other “Kat” is a scam!

Kat Richardson delivers a weird fantasy mystery that will delight fans of Philip Marlowe and Jim Butcher! Wild twists, devious plotting, sparkling dialogue, and a lot of bone-deep chills. Highly recommended!
Jonathan Maberry, Bestselling author of NecroTek and editor of Weird Tales Magazine, on Storm Waters.
Storm Waters is a pitch-perfect killer noir — punched up with magic, and keenly imagined by a master of the form.
Cherie Priest, author of The Clockwork Century series and It Was Her House First.
You should buy this book! It’s really good!
Charlaine Harris, NYT Bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, on Storm Waters.
I fully expected Humphrey Bogart to rise from his grave and volunteer to narrate Storm Waters. Kat Richardson has managed to capture that gritty noir feel of post-prohibition Hollywood. Marty Storm is tortured — physically and also just really messed up emotionally — and the mystery takes twists I wasn’t expecting. It’s a noir and stormy ride.
Mary Robinette Kowal, award-winning author of The Lady Astronaut series
