I print with Ingram all the time, and I've had the title page missing quite a few times, but also one time the WHOLE BOOK was printed backwards 🤣 *sigh* Isn't print on demand great 😂

I get if it is personal preference but I just finished listening to a romance series and all 5 were at least 2 POV but it was a single narrator and it wasn't confusing as long as the narrator can do voices it works and since it was one narrator for the whole series each character stayed consistent book to book which you don't always get with different narrators

Oof, that misprint. I've been debating getting my copies from Ingram Spark for the markets I go to, since they seem to be better quality than Amazon, but this is making me rethink that. lol In general, which would you say you've had better success with?

Random question: Do you think that it's best for an author to stick with writing books solely in either first person or third person POV throughout their career? Do you think readers would be frustrated if they read one book written in first person and loved it, and then buy another book by the same author and find out it's written in third person? I feel like readers typically prefer one or the other.

You know, I read all the comments and yours is literally like mine - one word changes all the meaning. If you wrote "You repositioned your camera and the frame made sense again lol Also YES VOTE" it wouldn't come off as ambiguous, but since you used the word "life" instead of "frame" it reads somewhat temperamental. Same mine. If it wasn't for the "raw and hormonal" middle part, I wouldn't sound so backhanded. I think you should check yourself on signs of neurodivergency. Some wiring here is different. I bet you can see it on the page as well. God bless!

I’ve just always used Word, so I’m used to it and like it! I’ve tried Scrivener and few times and just always end up going back to word 🤷🏻‍♀️(it’s also easier when working with editors bc of track changes) I have this video about Patreon! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6yVmLpqqtfQY4k.htmlsi=VlXjlIhEaIxFujvu

Yay! The usual closing credit song is back, I missed it. I always sing it when it starts “Pretty Caroline. Oh oh oh oh.” Quick questions I’m not sure if you’ve answered this but how do you prioritize which project you want to work on more when you are working on multiple books? And how do you set your release dates for each book you’re working on?

I'm super excited to get to read Cam's book! I really loved the Marionettes series and I'm looking forward to reading the next one. If Katie sees this, I was wondering about how many books do you think there might be in the series? Regardless I'm excited and I look forward to reading more books.

Idk I looove the first line in the Marionettes. It sets the tone right away, your style, is intriguing, it’s everything It would actually be really interesting to hear other people’s favourite quotes from your books. Maybe you could do a video on it, reading through goodreads / story graph to find what people have pulled out? Or ask people to comment them
