[@nikeyawashington6521]

Girl … you have really made it as a writer! 1,000 copies in one week, WOW%!!

[@Katesbookdate]

Thank you! ❤ definitely feels crazy different than even just a year ago

[@Suetvvlogs]

I am currently writing 3 books, which is crazy! I seriously caught the writing bug! I will definitely be querying, but I decided to write a clean romance novel because I intend to self published this book! I want to show my followers my writing style and what they can expect from my romance novels,I am happy to see your books are doing great!

[@Katesbookdate]

How exciting! Best of luck with all of your publishing ventures!

[@cadburyyork5052]

I really like these videos where you talk about how the publication went. I'm contemplating indie/self publishing my book after it gets a developmental and copy edit. It's so daunting though. These videos help :)

I'm almost done reading Bloodless Ties and I'm so sad about it. My favorite of the three in terms of world building and plot. I'll post my review soon 🤗

[@Katesbookdate]

Thank you so much! So happy to hear you're enjoying it!

[@StephanieWhitson]

Hi Kate! Congratulations 🎊 👏 I remember when you told us about your first even fiction! Crazy how far you have become and you have inspired me to carry on writing my novel!

[@emmaberger3748]

I can’t wait to read this! Gotta get through the semester first. December 10th I should be able to start it!!!

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

Soon as I get some extra money I am going to try and buy all of your amazing books 📚 love you and your amazing channel love your Aussie friend John ❤❤❤

Some suggested bookbub was difficult for indie authors especially those who use KU. I appreciate you sharing your experience with it. Hope to hear more about how it works for you.

[@Katesbookdate]

They are definitely really picky if you’re in KU since they have so many wide readers!

[@ashleyzakrzewski577]

I’m waiting for the series to be complete before I read. I like to binge. I’ve heard that KU authors see a huge uptick once the series is complete

[@Katesbookdate]

Totally get that! In general, series tend to see a big difference once they're complete since so many readers like to wait!

[@ashleyzakrzewski577]

@@Katesbookdate oh my gosh you replied to me! I’ve been watching you for years but never comment cause I always figured you had so much going on always! Well hello there! I’ve been meaning to ask if you are ever going to do signings? I have 6 next year for my Books and would love to see you at one someday!

[@thegeekylibrarian360]

I won NaNoWriMo, so I just ordered The Marionettes as one of my rewards! =D

[@heartmommyinpa]

I ordered Bloodless Ties as a birthday gift for myself. My birthday is 11/11. Perfect timing!!

[@KitKatSam27]

CHEERING YOU ON FROM THE SIDELINES!!!!!! GO KATIE!!!

[@Katesbookdate]

Thanks Sam!!

[@starrynightfall00]

Yaaay! I'm so happy for you that you got the Daily deal and the Bookbubs. Once Bloodless Ties comes out on Audible I'm going to marathon them ^^ Can't wait!~

[@Katesbookdate]

Great video!

[@writing.reading.knitting]

I'll tell you an embarrassing secret, the marionette series are the only books from you I haven't read yet 🙈 I'm not even 100% sure why! The premise sounds amazing and I'm a huge fan of vampires (I just started rewatching TVD last month, my heart cries for how good Legacies could have been and wasn't). I guess I'm scared of being disappointed? There's something nostalgic about Vampire Academy and TVD that nothing else really compares, I'm both scared of not enjoying the series or liking it too much and then be sad when it's over 🤣 you mentioning how book 3 has the "spice" just added more fuel to the fire 🔥 I guess I really need to update my Christmas presents wish list 👀

[@MargaretPinard]

This is a great idea! And yes, you think you'll remember BUT YOU DON'T! I'm making notes, but I don't know if I'd want to make public all of my thoughts right after... :/

[@Katesbookdate]

You could always just keep the videos set to private or something like that!

[@shanshangalan8074]

Haven’t been able to read anymore since I got it with NaNo and school and finals haven’t had time
