This week's news in Kat-land:

Biological Compulsion was reviewed and rec'd by Altered Lions and Sacrificial Lambs:

Nothing Graceful has made it into the voting round of the Black Balloon Contest. In true angst fashion they're only allowing voters to choose one story. Voting is open until April 16th. If you typically like my writing then you'll love the entries in this one. It's all hardcore angst. I think that Nothing Graceful is actually one of the better things that I've written in a while. It's a bit different for me, there's still death but there aren't any vampires or psychopaths involved.

I'm currently working on the next chapter of The Search. So, keep an eye out for your next BPOV bonus if you've reviewed. If anyone has anything that they'd particularly like to hear from FiestyBella about let me know and I'll put it in for consideration.

Camp season is coming up and I should also have some personal news to share eventually. There are very big things happening over here. ;-)

Fire and Ash Playlist

Each POV in Fire and Ash has a piece of music that goes with it. I made this playlist a long time ago to go with it:

The Search Playlist

Here is my master playlist for The Search. Suggestions are welcome.

BC Chapter 5 - Music

Sometimes I write to music.  I think that a lot of us out in FanFic land do it.  I have one series that I have at least one piece of music per chapter.  I'm not doing that with Biological Compulsion because sometimes I feel like Deadella (yes, I refer to her as Dead Bella) needs a little head space in order to talk to me.

Chapter five required angry white girl music.  So without further ado, a couple of videos for songs that I listened to (I didn't watch one of these and P!nk is kind of interesting so there's no telling what the actual video content is...) :

Meet wuogkat

Kat is a married mom with two little boys. Her husband is a teacher and grammar enthusiast. He is the only reason that she can form a grammatically correct sentence 85% of the time. They live in a small town where their primary transportation consists of a small fleet of bicycles and a minivan that gets them to church and the grocery store.

Kat has written short stories and plays dating back to her early childhood when she first learned how to write. Prior to that, she played rather vivid games of make believe. She has written several plays for amateur theatre, a couple of which have been performed before an audience and is currently working on a novel that will never be finished and a one act musical for the church "road show".

She discovered Twilight while working with the youth at her church and decided to read the first book as entertainment in the evenings on a trip. She immediately found herself buying the other three books in rapid succession and read the entire series 5 times in a matter of 4 weeks. Kat hasn't been the same since that month. In her defense she was sick and unable to do much else during that time.

In addition to writing and cycling she knits, designs clothing, and pretends she can play the guitar. She also works as a freelance web designer specializing in working with artists and designers.
