KICKSTARTER
The Dragon Thief Series Kickstarter is still going strong. Please consider visiting and backing if you can!
Ask dragon questions, get dragon answers…
And gets caught in the act by the dragon king’s guard.
Facing the consequences of that failure means doing a job
for the dragon king. A job that changes Myra’s life forever. When she meets the
dragon king’s son, Christopher. A dragon shifter prince with a soft spot for
damsels in distress. Who occasionally smells like sugar cookies. And whose
fierce devotion and protective nature draw Myra like a particularly complicated
lock.
Myra loves sugar cookies. She does not love working for the
dragon king. But she does like Christopher. A lot. All of which really
complicates a thief’s life. Especially when that new life throws her into the
middle of a world with dangers and threats unlike anything she’s encountered
before.
Myra faces two choices. Stay in the dragon shifter world and
keep Christopher in her life. Or leave the danger and return to her ordinary
world. But lose Christopher forever. Knowing no matter what she decides, she
risks a shattering fall.
Don’t miss this omnibus edition of the entire first seasons
of Kat Simons’ romantic, action-packed urban fantasy Dragon Thief series. Six
novellas in one big book. Binge on Myra and Christopher’s romance and
adventures as they learn how to navigate their growing feelings for each other while
trying to survive the dragon king’s machinations. And a growing list of deadly
enemies.

RELEASES
New relationship, new heist, new disaster waiting to happen…
Dangling from the side of a building in Manhattan, late at
night, with glass cutters at the ready, Myra confronts the start contrast
between her old life as a solitary cat burglar and her new life…as the
girlfriend of a dragon shifter prince. A dragon shifter prince with a soft spot
for damsels in distress and a habit of finding Myra even when she doesn’t want
to be found.
What’s a magical thief to do? Falling hard for Christopher
did more than throw Myra into the world of the dragon shifters. Navigating a
relationship with someone who cares whether you live or die proves a lot more
complicated than she expected. She adores Christopher. But she finds this new
life an adjustment.
So when he presents her with a new potential job, she
hesitates. Until she learns it involves rescuing a damsel in distress.
Christopher’s Achille’s heel. How can she refuse to help him with that?
Discovering the job requires all her skills, help from some new people, and the
lurking menace of an old rival, guarantees Myra accepts this quest.
Because if they can’t steal back the stolen treasure, the
dragon king will lay waste to the city she loves. And everyone in it.
Don’t miss this exciting return to the romantic urban
fantasy DRAGON THIEF series! The start of a new season of adventures, heists,
and danger for Myra and Christopher. Only this time, they’re not alone.

Ancient magic, a deadly bargain, and a whole lot of lives on the line…
Teaming up with a crew of people all with the same goal—to
save damsels in distress—seemed like a fun idea. At the time. But growing pains
and Myra’s lifetime of working alone complicate the delicate balance of the new
team. She doesn’t want to give up on it, for Christopher’s sake as much as her
own. Her dragon shifter boyfriend has a soft spot for damsels in distress. To
ensure his safety, Myra will willingly work with other people, so someone’s
there to have their backs.
But trust never came easy for the magic thief, and now Myra
has to learn to trust a whole bunch of people when some of them clearly don’t
trust her.
When the team’s latest attempt to rescue a damsel in
distress goes bad, and their tight timeline pushes the boundaries of calculated
risk, trust might be the only thing that saves them. The only thing that can
save their client. Because two wealthy, dangerous men after the same ancient
artifact, and one conman without a conscious, have trapped an innocent artist
in the crossfire. Myra, Christopher, and the others will do whatever it takes
to rescue their client.
Even if it means launching themselves into danger.
Confronting deadly ancient magic. And putting all their lives on the line.

NEWS
Lot going on this month, but May will be a little quieter. I have a short story from HAUNTS AND HOWLS AND FAIRY DALES releasing as a standalone eBook, which I'll talk more about next month. And there will be two new Café stories, of course, so watch out for those.
I will also start sending out Kickstarter rewards and finalizing the print rewards. Once that starts happening, I'll also get the retail print editions up for preorder through other online retailers and KatSimonsBooks. And I'll set up the deluxe editions of the book through my store (they will be exclusive to KatSimonsBooks).
A quick note on Tariffs
By the time this post goes live things might have even changed (and changed again), and if they have, I'll come back and comment here, but the tariffs imposed by the current US administration are likely going to affect my small business. How and when, I'm not sure yet, because the situation keeps changing.
Fortunately, eBooks are good to go, no matter where you are. That will remain the same. My three different print distributors also have printing facilities in individual countries outside the US, which should (I hope!) make getting paperbacks in those countries easy enough, without the added cost of higher tariffs.
There's still a lot up in the air, and it will be a changing environment for the foreseeable future *sigh*. When I know how things are affecting my books, I'll post about it, but at the moment (as I type this), I'm not entirely sure how all this will play out. Or even if things will be different for my books or not. Hopefully, the chaos doesn't last too long. (I've edited this section once already before it goes live, so...we'll see.)

Okay, I think that's probably enough for one month! *grin* One last ask for you to check out the Kickstarter! And until May, I hope the world is treating you gently!
