I have a sad announcement, but one that I stand by.

At this time, I have made the difficult decision to remove my books from availability on Amazon.  I currently do have copies in my possession, but at this time I will no longer actively be self-publishing through Amazon or Kindle Direct Publishing.

Thank you for your support, and I hope to release publications through more traditional means in the future.

Thank you,
​~kc

Just for a heads up: all of my books are currently unavailable for sale on Amazon.  Please email me at [email protected] if you would to inquire about any prints.

Thank you for your support!

Book four of the Life in Verse poetry is now live!  

Happy birthday to this sweet little gem.  While poignant, I feel Dream still evokes a sense of hope despite despite despite despair.  The beautiful chaos within exemplifies the fragility of hope, anxiety, and strength in time.

Grateful doesn't begin to cover the happiness I feel getting to produce these works, with all my emotions on display, exactly as I am, and turning my daydreams into reality.

Build all your castles in the sky, and wave your victory flag as the magic blooms. 

Loves always, kc

Hello my beautiful friends! :)

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I haven't been able to update the site in a bit.  Let's see if I can summarize a bit for you.

1. Change, the third installment of the Life in Verse poetry series, was released March 2, 2023.  Book 4 of the series is slated to be released probably in April or May of 2025 next year, so stayed tuned for that! :D
2. I'm working on Book 4 of the Little Rhymer's series as well!  No ETA just yet, but hopefully the artwork for it will be done by the end of this summer! 
3. Finally, I'm working on a novel, Project Penny (working title).  This is taking up a lot of headspace, so it's taking its sweet time.  Having a bit of a struggle with this, but I'm confident in this story once I get some of the details worked out.  (Adult novel, high school, middle school level? Heck if I know.)

I'm really grateful for everyone's support!  I have a lot of hopes for the future, and am grateful that I get to experience my dream of writing books.  Even if I never becoming a bestseller; this is my whole dream right here.  Creating.

I'll do my best to keep you updated.  My instagram at @kristinecali does get regular updates, so please feel free to follow me there! 

All the best, my loves.

Hey my loves!  KC here with some news taking us into next year.

On February 25, 2023, Alive: Life in Verse will turn 4 years old - and with it I'll be releasing a second edition!  The main reason for this is because the poems were sorted into themed chapters, and since then, the series has been keeping the poems in chronological order.  I felt it necessary to get Alive in the proper mix.  Plus I may have found a few other poems that mayyyy be sneaking their way into the second edition as well.... Don't worry, Alive will be the only one getting this sort of a revamp done in the LiV series.  

And then, only five days later on March 2, 2023, the third installment of Life in Verse, Change will be released!  Look at that cover!

You might be getting a sneak peak at some poems coming your way in March between now and then, so make sure to check back in.

Lots of loves, ~kc

Welcome to the list of books I've read so far this year.  This post will be updated as I go.

1. Turn Coat by Jim Butcher ★★★★★
2. Changes by Jim Butcher ★★★★★
3. Side Jobs by Jim Butcher ★★★★★ 
4. Ghost Story by Jim Butcher ★★★★★ 
5. Cold Days by Jim Butcher ★★★★★ 
   
6. Skin Game by Jim Butcher (currently reading)

031622: Can't believe that when I finish with Side Jobs I still have SIX more Dresden books!!  How is this possible?! XD
051022: Side Jobs was such a fun look at things we hadn't seen previously. Loved.
072822: Ghost Story and now I'm about half through Cold Days.... Curiouser and curiouser. <3

Hey everyone, just letting you know I still exist, and what I've been working on lately.

Poetry:
Alive contains 10 years and 54 poems.  Brave contains 5 years and 70 poems.
Currently for the next book of poems, Change, I've accumulated 62 poems in 1 year and 2 months!!  I think it's pretty safe to assume that we can expect Change to release at the beginning on 2023 next year.  Wow.

Novels:
I've been finalizing some notes for my next novel.  It's been a ride, but I think I'm getting close.  I've been talking about this project for several years, and I'm hoping this year will be the year it finally gets rolling properly.  I'll keep you guys updated on that as we go.  Urban Fantasy project currently known as Project Penny.

Little Rhymers:
I have several other ideas floating around!  Since Luna Moo just released last month, Little Rhymers is being set on a back burner while I try to focus on Project Penny.  I don't know how long I can actually stay away from Little Rhymers though! ;D

Important:
I also wanted to add that you are totally amazing and I love you.  Keep on being top notch! 

Love you, shalis.

Welp.  This stinks, but things have a way of finding themselves.

Luna Moo's release date has been pushed to January 4th.  I'm a bit bummed about it, but things happen and that's ok.  I know Luna Moo will be great when she arrives.  And I hope you all will agree.

A bit of miscellaneous news:
The holidays are coming up - as well as my birthday on the 23rd!  It's going to be a great holiday season, and a busy one at that.  But I will be with people I love for the next few weeks, and what better place to be than that.

Happy holidays, my loves.  May it be as lovely as you are. <3

Good morning everyone,

I am still working on Little Rhymers 3, I swear.  Life happened and I'm having to push the date back a little bit.  I know this notice is about a week late.... But all I have left is layout and proofing, which I should be able to send out for tonight or tomorrow.  

I hope you guys stick around for Luna Moo.  I'm excited for everyone to finally meet her.  

Thanks for the support, everyone. <3
