Republication and New Publication

My creepy Grifter’s Song novella is being rereleased today. So if you don’t already have it, go get Ghost Image at Amazon. And check out the rest of the series, created and edited by Frank Zafiro!

And yesterday I reviewed, approved, and returned proof pages for a Gattis/Dillal and Matheson short story, “This Useful Rage” for a medical fund anthology, Unbroken, edited by Peter Orullian, which will be Kickstarting April 21, 2026. So go look at that, too, please! 

And yes, I know my damned Blog page doesn’t work right. I seem to have a disconnected widget and I’m still trying to figure out how to fix it. 

 

Free Short Story!

Featuring Marty F-ing Storm

So, with the help of the very wonderful John Hartness (owner/publisher/editor-in-chief of Falstaff Books), I have a Marty Storm short story up at Prolific Works. And it’s FREE! So if you want to know a bit about the notorious protagonist of my upcoming dark-fantasy noir crime novel, Storm Waters, go get it! Did I mention it’s free? Click this link: Card Sharp at Prolific Works. Or click the cover image on the left.

You’ll also get the Falstaff version of my Harper Blaine short story “Chemotherapy” from my collection Through the Grey that they published in 2022. Why? Because I want you guys to buy the books! But I’m also happy if you just like the stories and tell other people to read them. That’s always cool.

I hope you enjoy them!

 

More Event Updates

New Info and Changes

New information for Squatchcon, and Left Coast Crime has been posted to the Events Page.

Pretty exciting stuff for me: teaching a Magic Systems Workshop at SquatchCon, as well as hosting a Writers Meetup there and speaking on some cool panels. Some small changes to a reading at  Norwescon, and updates on the Left Coast Crime panels I’ll be on in April. Check it out!

 

Upcoming Conventions

Posted on by kat_richardson

Norwescon and Left Coast Crime 2024

So, I’ve gone and registered for two upcoming genre conventions in my area: Norwescon—Seattle-area’s longest-running Science Fiction and Fantasy convention, which happens over Easter Weekend  (March 28-31 this year) at the Hilton-Doubletree near SeaTac airport; and Left Coast Crime—a wandering Mystery Literature convention which will be hosted at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue On Seattle’s Eastside (what a mouthful), in mid-April.

I’m already talking to the programming folks at NWC, so I will be on at least a few panels and I might be holding some workshops. LCC is a bit of a different beast, since the programming folks essentially look at who wants to be on programming and what they are good at or interesting to hear talking about, and then stick them on a panel that fits. Or don’t. Because you don’t attend Mystery conventions as a pro the same way you attend SFF cons. Panel selection is based on the programming folks knowledge of the genre and the attendees, so the panels are likely to be created to showcase the writers and other pros that the attendees are most likely to want to see or hear from, plus a few smaller names to round out the panel and give the newer or lesser-known folks a hand up. Therefore, I have no idea if I’ll be on anything at all. But it’s always fun to hang out with the Mystery Fans and writers regardless.

So if any of you are hoping to catch up to me in person before the my next book comes out (sometime next year) that’s a couple of places you can find me. Hope to see some of you around!
