I love this feature All About Me And What's To Come. I'm finding out so much about authors in our community. Today we get into the brain of Kate Hawthorne ans see what's been and what is. So, get comfy and enjoy.
Hey everyone! My name is Kate Hawthorne and I’m super
excited to be here today, and before I forget, a huge thanks to Meredith for
allowing me to come through :D
I wanted to pop by today to tell you all a bit about my
current series, Giving Consent. It’s a steamy and kinky four book series,
available on Amazon (all four books are free in KU). You can check it out here
-> http://mybook.to/GCseries
Worth the Chance is the fourth book in the series and it’s
all about Verity Jones, who is a sassy nonbinary switch. We first meet Verity
in Worth the Risk (#1), and that’s when Aaron Hoffman meets them, too. Writing
Worth the Chance was a lot of fun (and hard af) because I got to trace Verity
and Aaron’s story back through the first three books. It was great to show
their relationship from THEIR perspective and give readers a chance to fall in
love with them the way they fell in love with each other.
The Giving Consent books all have some degree of BDSM in
them. I *love* a good kink book, and it’s been especially pleasurable for me to
add BDSM into my books. I’m glad it’s been so well received by everyone because
I know it’s not for everyone. When I was (much) younger, I worked as a
pro-Domme at a popular dungeon in Los Angeles. I picked up a ton of real world
experience and had my eyes opened to things I’d only read about. There is so
much about kink, and the D/s dynamic especially that appeals to me, and I
really try to infuse some of the nuanced things that I’ve experienced into the
stories I write.
Wrapping up this series has been bittersweet, but I’m very
excited to be moving onto something NEW. Up until now, all my books have taken
place in Los Angeles (where I live), but we’re moving on!
Edgewood is a small town with big secrets, and it’s time
they’re exposed.
The first book in the Secrets in Edgewood series is actually
going to be FREE. It’s part of a Valentine’s Day giveaway I’m participating in,
and the first full length release will follow shortly after. I wouldn’t want
anyone to miss out on them, so be sure to join my Facebook group – http://facebook.com/groups/hawthornesharem

Meredith pick a winner.Contest ends February 8th.

ReplyDeleteLove these stories!
ReplyDeleteI cant wait for the new series
ReplyDeleteI completely loved the Giving Consent series but I have to say that I'm in total gaga love over Verity! Their character is so multifaceted and real - more than most other characters I have read. They tore my heart out and then put it back together. Can't wait to see what new experiences await in Kate's future books. ����
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love all of Kate's books and bring able to beta read her new series is an absolute joy. I can't wait for everyone to get to love them as much as I do!
