PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

HE WAS PROUD AND SHE PREJUDICED HIM!!

Pride and prejudice is a classic novel written by Jane Austen and published in 1813. It explores themes of love, social class, and morality through the complex relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.

"You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."

This book beautifully encapsulates the novel's exploration of love and admiration, highlighting that a lasting connection goes beyond mere attraction. Loving someone is essential in a relationship, but it is the mutual admiration and the capacity of learning from one another that makes it last.

Beyond the love story, the book features compelling plot twists that add depth and intrigue to the narrative. This Jane Austen book goes beyond the romantic theme. It's not just their loves story what's going on here. There's so much more!

It is a classic, but what a classic, it has aged like a fine wine! Jane austen really said "the kind of man every girl wants is the one who accepts their mistakes and is capable of leaving the pride behind", and it is something that is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century.

Jane Austen, thank you for this masterpiece!

Reckless charming characters that are always only a breadth away from death that their loved ones always have to grasp them by the neck like a scruffy naughty kitten about to jump into a whirlpool for fun, like, no not today you're not going down there you little devil

A pagan novella

January 6, 2024

I wish you a good new year with many blessings. Over the past few years, I have published some pagan and witchcraft non-fiction. Currently, I am working on a novella about a young queer woman who leaves a (fictional) conservative Christian cult. She starts a new life and eventually becomes a pagan and more specifically, a Lokean. The story is set in Germany. I have no idea if anyone wants to read that because the genre is neither romance nor a mystery or another typical genre. But anyway, I want to write it. My plan is to selfpublish it in German and English. I also use this as a sort of devotional work for Loki. Devotion for pagan deities can take so many forms, doesn't it? I have no personal experience with leaving a cult or Christianity, but I have researched cults for quite a bit now and heard/read accounts by people who left one and how they recovered from their experiences. For further research, I am also reading “Changing Paths” by Yvonne Aburrow at the moment and I also want to read “Leaving the Fold: A Guide for Former Fundamentalists and Others Leaving Their Religion” by Marlene Winell, Ph.D. I guess this will be quite a journey to write, but as someone said in the Facebook group “The Lokean Collective” when I posted about this novella, “This is a story that needs to be told. Do it!!” And so be it.😊

HEY FRIENDS DO YOU LIKE QUEER BOOKS

We're officially setting up a Tumblr account (for cough cough other-social-media-having-problems-reasons) though you'll have seen Meredith around at @king-of-katz ♥

We're indie authors that rely heavily on word-of-mouth to get our stories out there, so reblogs and shares are always super helpful.

Check out our full list of books on our site! Here's a few:

The Cybernetic Tea Shop by Meredith Katz Genre: Retrofuture sci-fi, romance, asexual homoromantic F/F

A mechanic with a bad case of wanderlust meets a homebound robot stuck in the past. In accepting the things they cannot change and finding the courage to change the ones they can, both of them need to understand what it means to ‘move on’. Tea, AI, and kindness. Soft and warm.

Empty Vessels by Meredith Katz Genre: Paranormal, urban fantasy, romance, M/M/M, polyamorous

A psychic young man knows he has to overcome his anxieties to protect the local monsters from something terrifying lurking in the night. Along the way, he finds romance in unlikely places, between the ghost that keeps him company and the deer-antlered man running the mysterious antique shop. Monster kissing, flirty horned boys, mindscapes, and creepy dolls.

Smoke Signals by Meredith Katz Genre: Urban fantasy, romance, M/M, dragon, billionaire

A harried CSR for a games distributor gets put in charge of the video game collection of a grumpy and self-centered billionaire who is a literal dragon. At least the dragon is cute… in an apex predator sort of way. Includes soft cats, cooking shows, and knitting! Fun and upbeat.

All books available here. Hopefully you'll find your next read! xoxo

Just a good ol’ fashioned girl-hates-government dystopia.

Oh, and mind control.

A CITY WITHOUT BIRDS

GENRE: Science Fiction

SUBGENRES: Dystopia, cyberpunk, hopepunk

THEMES: Found family, change, memories, hope

AUDIENCE: Anyone

P.O.V./TENSE: First person, past tense

Memories can’t be trusted in Seranid. Feisty Terry Silver learns the hard way when she’s forced to flee the utopian City of her childhood, charged with a crime she has no recollection of committing.

Here’s what other people say

“really action packed…. incredibly well written and kept up the pace for the whole book” — Vee Ramage

“I must admit I was totally taken in by Terry and the Professor and the supporting characters.”

“What I like most is that it really takes points from our own flaws in society. The use of the separation between the rich and the poor to cover bigger schemes.”

Interested?

You can find A City Without Birds on Goodreads, and it’s on sale on Amazon.

Or keep reading…

Welcome to Seranid. You’re happy here. Everybody is.

From the ruins of the Pacific Coast rises Seranid, where

“THE CAMERAS AREN’T WATCHING YOU. YOU’RE WATCHING YOURSELF.”

Terry Silver doesn’t know she’s living a lie. She thinks nothing of the status symbol implanted into every Seranidian at birth. She’s unaware of the dissentious thoughts erased from her mind, or the half-truths fed to millions of Seranidians to maintain the paradisial City. Even, of the fact that she may have taken a life. But when the mysterious Professor Camus Remin whisks her from the crosshairs of Seranid’s task force into the Slums, she finds stolen memories — including ones of her long-dead father, and a people trampled by innovation — who call her the Phoenix that will herald the rebirth of the nation. As Terry tries to foment an uprising, she faces more than her own mortality: resurfacing trauma, the deaths of loved ones, and the looming threat of all-out nuclear war. She’s forced to ask herself: what price would you pay for change?

Seranid’s Government rules through division. Knowledge workers: doctors, engineers, teachers, and scientists are kept in the City, a bubble of utopia, while the rest are cast into the Slums, where poverty, disease, and corruption run rampant. Status symbols implanted at birth label Seranidians and feed them propaganda, altering their thoughts and memories to keep them in line. The task force eliminates any remaining rebels.

The Council, the coalition of the six business heads of Seranid, is the guiding force and source of comfort in many Seranidian’s lives. From controlling the weather in the City to providing aid to those in need, they are the sympathetic heart of Seranid. And the driver behind the City’s endless consumerism.

Propoganda

CHARACTERS

Terry Silver: Fatherless and friendless, Terry finds solace in her work: keyboards, droids, and the soldering iron that burned a hole through her cargo pants. Her defiance gets her in trouble when Seranid’s government targets her for something she can’t even remember.

Terry’s first memory | Sketches | Terry’s mirror

Camus Remin: He has a charming smile and a burning passion for physics, but remains a mystery to his students, burdened by past mistakes. He quickly becomes the father Terry never had — but only later does she learn why he saved her.

Quote | Sketch

Marco Luiz: An old friend of Camus and a resident of the Slums, Marco knows the injustices of Seranid’s system firsthand. Both idealist and kind-hearted, he’s quick to sacrifice himself to help those in need — or just cook them some good roast lamb.

OC’s a ten but…

Janette Thornell: Hardened by past failures, the Resistance leader often clashes with Terry. Yet Janette loves those she protects — most of all, Emmy, who knows the secret of her origins.

Janette’s Secret

Emmy Wood: A City surgeon who defected to the Resistance, Emmy is more a scientist than a fighter. But when fate separates her, Camus, Marco and Terry from the rest of the Resistance, the four must learn to fight – and survive – together.

OC’s a ten but…

SETTING

North America, in the distant future…

Three countries share North America: materialistic Seranid on the West Coast, militaristic Leifen in the East, and modest Mirena, caught between the two superpowers. Each has their own way of surviving in this cruel new world, and each has their own flaws.

More Descriptions | Sketches | Leifen | Mirena | Ideals

psst. hey you.

Thank you for making it this far! I got a little secret… I’m planning on making A City Without Birds free for a few days later this year (date undecided). Please reblog/comment if you’d like to be tagged when that happens!

Please note, the arc-readers are for e-books only! :)

Summary for "Maiden of Dawn";

Magic is a gift from the divine... In the sleepy village of Ferne, Maeve, a priestess of Juno, has long since laid her dreams of romance and adventure to rest and has committed herself as her town’s divine healer. She is content to mend broken bones, care for her garden, and hope for her mother’s return. But when King Hagken’s army ambushes her village and demands their service to reclaim his throne, Maeve realizes her responsibilities go beyond the healing arts. Maeve, determined to liberate her people, and emboldened by Juno’s divine power, will stop at nothing to prevent this war before it begins. She forms an unlikely alliance with an expelled alchemist and Hagken’s prior spymaster, Alistair, who shares they have a personal vendetta against the king. In the city of Pyrite, where magic and alchemy thrive, Maeve must navigate the unfamiliar waters of political intrigue, combat forbidden spirit magic, contend with her faith, and discover what it means to reshape her dreams, her destiny—and the destinies of others. But the Gods can be...fickle.

Maiden of Dawn is a queer, fantasy novel which has a character of divine faith at the centerfold. I wanted to combine my love for dungeons and dragons and my penchant for people-pleasing into an epic, adventurous story that explores a world where queer (and nonbinary/trans folk) can just exist alongside a realm of magic and impossibilities.

The novel will be released on MAY 15, 2024 !!!!

However, if you'd like to get an advanced copy then please feel free to fill out the link and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
