Special Wednesday Edition: I DID IT!

Oh my goodness — after months of saying, "Soon, I swear," I launched my author newsletter!

I'm . . . terrified. Terrified.

I'm so unbelievably certain I messed up somewhere in the ebook for "The Perfect Mark." However, I also realize that I could have kept tweaking forever, and I had to let it go at some point.

So . . . here we are.

Want to see the cover I made? I'm not a professional (BY ANY STRETCH OF IMAGINATION), but I am proud of how it turned out. 💕

ID: The ebook cover for the short story "The Perfect Mark" by Kate Malden. The title and author appear in grey text, along with a line that says "a prequel short story." The background is a Victorian alleyway with stone buildings. A woman's skirt and foot are partially visible.

A few months after running away from her old life, eighteen-year-old Bree is learning to survive as a thief on the streets. Today, she's found the perfect mark — but has overconfidence gotten the best of her? Her supposedly unwitting victim has a surprise in store for her . . .

I'm so excited! Even though I know it's unlikely that many folks (or anyone, lol) will sign up, I'm still super proud of myself for taking that step! 💕

Okay, well, I guess I better get ready for work. Have a great day, everyone!
