Thank you, backers!

Um...Dean and I have published over 1200 books indie. And continue to do so all the time. Kickstarter is simply part of our publishing plan.
We just launched a new Kickstarter at noon, & we've already funded! Thank you, backers! Come see what that they liked...and get a brand-new sf collection. Visit THREE SCIENCE FICTION BOOKS BY KRISTINE KATHRYN RUSCH on @kickstarter.com

Just finished the video for my upcoming Kickstarter. It'll feature 3 of my books. Two, the novel & the novella, are redesigned. The short story collection is new. Click the link to be notified on the launch. (& no, that woman is not me. I'm not black-and-white.)

For the 2026 primary elections, NPR has collected deadlines and information on how to register to vote — online, in person or by mail — in every U.S. state and territory.
Yep.
Just announced the online #writing workshops for March. Also, the seminar starts tomorrow. You can jump in today if you’d like.

Gavin on this #Caturday expressing how we all feel about today’s news. (Sigh.)

How do they know you’re indie? If your book is available through Ingram, with returns, they’ll have no idea. That’s what’s in the blog. Read it.

Me, getting ready for the race
Me, showing off my 5K medal
There’s a dinosaur in the crowd…
The crowd at the 5K
Had a great time at the Rock ‘n’ Roll 5K tonight. Just me this year, although I did see some Vegas runner friends. Great weather, great energy, and a great result. More pix later.
I get a sense you didn’t read Dean’s post. He wasn’t talking about driving your books to a store.
Angel Kitty wearing a toy rope
On this #Caturday, Angel Kitty brought me her favorite toy, already draped over herself. She wanted play, not rescue. I’m not sure how the toy rope ended up like that…
It’s their store. They can make it reflect their own tastes. It has always been so. I had a so-called friend, bookstore owner tell me to my face that I don’t write “good” fiction so he wouldn’t carry my books. His choice. His store went out of business; I’m still writing and selling not-good books.
Dean Wesley Smith posted the Kickstarters that #readers and #writers should look at this week. Lots of fantasy, dark academia, and romance. Worth studying…and backing!
