Welcome!

I write hot, erotic, romantic stories, set in all periods, from back in the dark ages (Walpurgis Night) to Medieval times (the Passions series) to contemporay (my most recent releases) and even on into the future (Checkmate in Pleasure Raiders) and fantasy worlds that never were (the GlimmerQuest series).

A couple of things all my stories have in common, though. I always try to make the characters--their emotions, their relationships, and their moral choices--the most important components of the sexual relationship and the story.

And my books often (almost always, in fact)  feature elements that go beyond normal (vanilla) sexual situations.  You'll frequently find bondage, spanking, sexual mastery and menage situations in my stories.  If those things offend you, my stories are NOT for you.

taking part in the EC/Cerridwen Writers Retreat at the Coffee Time Romance forum.

My thread is at
http://www.coffeetimeromance.com/board/showthread.php?p=124508

As part of that, I'm running TWO contests. The winner of each will get a trade paperback from my backlist. The rules are simple.

Contest One: The most creative, interesting and/or exciting comment posted on any of the excerpts in MY THREAD wins this one.

Contest Two: Can you correctly identify which books all five excerpts are from? Do NOT post the answers on the forum. To be eligible, you HAVE to email the answers to me at katherinekingston@yahoo.com. I'll draw a name from the list of people who can correctly identify the books all five excerpts are from. Remember: email the answers to me. Don't post them on the thread. Why make it easier for everyone else? And you're not entered unless you email me.  HINT: close study of the website should help you out.

Walpurgis Night has been released by Ellora's Cave. WhooHoo!

Aquamarine Allure has been released in trade paperback by Ellora's Cave. It include my story, CHARMING THE MASTERS!

New Covers!!!

Are these not incredibly awesome?

The Last Candle and The Princess Brat are for the re-releases of stories that were in anthologies. The anthologies will still be available in trade paperback, but each story is being released separately in ebook format.

By the way, those two covers are by the incredibly, awesomely talented Syneca.

The anthologies will continue to be available as they are in print, but for electronic distribution, the novellas will be for sale individually. The first of them, THE LAST CANDLE, will be released December 2.

I've accepted a contract offer from Whispers Publishing for a story called LIFELINE. This story is near and dear to my heart, but it's a bit different from my usual sort of story. Still lots of sex, even some kinky sex, and of course, it's a romance, but it's also a deeply serious story and it's highly appropriate I announce its sale on Memorial Day. More information to come.
