About the Author: Kendare Blake is the author of several novels and short stories, most of which you can find information about via the links above. Her work is sort of dark, always violent, and features passages describing food from when she writes while hungry. She was born in July (for those of you doing book reports) in Seoul, South Korea, but doesn’t speak a lick of Korean, as she was packed off at a very early age to her adoptive parents in the United States. That might be just an excuse, though, as she is pretty bad at learning foreign languages. She enjoys the work of Milan Kundera, Caitlin R Kiernan, Bret Easton Ellis, Richard Linklater, and the late, great Michael Jackson, I mean, come on, he gave us Thriller. She lives and writes in Kent, Washington, with her husband, their cat son Tyrion Cattister, red Doberman dog son Obi-Dog Kenobi, rottie mix dog daughter Agent Scully, and naked sphynx cat son Armpit McGee.

Top Ten Royal Decrees I’d Make As Queen:

1. Pasta must be eaten at least once a week unless you have a dietary intolerance.

2. If you are cruel to an animal I get to kick you as hard as I want, one time, wherever I want to.

3. Formal shoes must all be comfortable. I don’t care how you do it. Use magic.

4. No peanuts in coke! I’m just kidding. I’ve never even had peanuts in coke. I’ve just heard people have strong feelings about it.

5. Everyone who meets me has to compliment my dog. I will, in turn, compliment an animal or child of your choosing.

6. Green Day’s “Time of Your Life” may no longer be played at any kind of public ceremony ever again.

7. New seasons of Rick and Morty will be 25 episodes long.

8. September 23rd will be known as George RR Martin day, and we will all wear one of those little hats he likes. Not all of us will pull them off as well as he does, however.

9. Time will be set aside from all jobs once a week to go and learn something from an older person. Any older person, anywhere. They’ve got to have some nugget, of some wisdom.

10. Is Yoga Charades a thing? Because if it is I’m going to ban it.

Book Blitz: Of Silver and Beasts by Trisha Wolfe (Excerpt + Giveaway)

***Excerpt*** “What’s your rank, baby blue eyes?” the guy asks, pushing off his cot and stalking toward the prince. Everything in me screams to act, but I don’t want to declare alliances this early on. Not without understanding the dynamic of placements and bonds already formed among these people. But I’ll not let this hulk of a man harm the prince. I brace my heel against the wall, ready to push off and lunge. Prince Caben rises to his feet, slowly turning to face him. He straightens his spine, squaring his shoulders. “I don’t have one. And my name is Payne. Not ‘baby blue eyes’, meathead.” Big guy laughs, his husky voice bounces off the rock walls. “I’m Crew”—he beats his chest hard once, like a barbarian—“and I’ve won three fights. I’ll win the next two and be the one awarded the freedom ring.” He leans down toward Prince Caben, leveling their faces. “So don’t even think about you or your princess over there walking out of here. I’m ranked as a Colossal. The strongest Colossal in B
