Hello Sweethearts!

I hope that you all are doing well and that your summer has been full of popsicles, time spent with people you love and lots of sunshine! Things have been progressing really well with How to Get Run Over by a Truck. We have been editing the manuscript itself, finalizing the cover, and sending out galley copies (the promotional copies of the book - not the final ones you’ll be getting :) to book reviewers and to bookstores! In some really fantastic news, the book has gotten a few really wonderful reviews that I’d love to share with you:

"Katie McKenna’s beautiful, wrenching memoir reduced me to actual tears—and then, slowly, left me with a broad smile and a growing sense of wonder. This book starts out as the story of an accident, but it becomes a meditation on the preciousness of life, and the long road we all travel to become ourselves." —Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of She’s Not There and Stuck in the Middle with You

"At times visceral and horrifying, at times heartbreaking and healing, and at times hilarious, McKenna’s memoir is a testament to the incredible resilience of the human spirit coming up against a crushing blow." —Hilary Angus, Managing Editor of Momentum Mag

"...Unflinchingly honest, at times dark, and yet surprisingly funny — a delight to read." —Michael J. O’Loughlin, author of The Tweetable Pope: A Spiritual Revolution in 140 Characters

I am over the moon that some of the people who have read it have really enjoyed it, and I CAN’T WAIT to share it with you!

Also, another bit of exciting news is that we have recently sold the audiobook rights Audible! The release date of the audio book is TBD, but I am so delighted about this opportunity, and so grateful to Inkshares for making this happen!

And lastly, I was recently featured in a podcast by the start-up company SpareMin! They interviewed me about my memoir, and my experience writing it, how I wrote the book that I needed to read, and what the feedback has been:

The conversation with me starts at about 10:40, but listen to the whole podcast - its really great!

Thank you all again for your incredible support and kindness, none of this would have happened without you!! You are too wonderful for words.

Heart,

Katie McKenna

Angela Melamud liked an update for LOUISIANA BLOOD - A Chandler Travis and Duke Lanoix mystery

Hi knife wielding followers,

just a little splash of news, I have now been officially welcomed into the hallowed halls of Quilldom...there was a lot of funny handshakes and strange creatures in masks, but it’s all over now and I am awaiting my mission instructions before the next stage.

I am also piqued to discover that I am number one in the mystery community...which I’m sure is a whole heap better news than a lower number...unless the scoring is rather like POINTLESS in which case more is less if that makes sense...

Anyway, I should also take this opportunity to steer you in the direction of a stonkingly great read by Peter Ryan, smash hit author of Sync City...his latest work is called Destiny Imperfect and is one of the two books I’m supporting this month and beyond. So check it out or tell a friend! DESTINY IMPERFECT

The other book I love is called PROXY, if you like the idea of a collection of pop artists selling their souls to live forever, than this might just be you cup of tea...

Angela Melamud liked an update for Monkey Business

I know it seems like this is slow going, but in the grand scheme of things, Monkey Business is killing it on these reviews. Go on boys and girls, you know what to do.

Add your review now! And thank you all so much for tolerating all this review begging.
