"Mystery, Intrigue, Heartache, #Romance, + Suspense...Had me up all night" New #Book #Review! #amreading

One fateful night tore them apart...
will they get a second chance
before a killer strikes?
Not many things make me smile more than hearing a reader couldn't put my book down and stayed up late to keep reading...I love when I find a book that does that to me, even if I don't love how I feel in the morning!  But we readers know how amazing it is to fall into a story so hard we just have to know what happens next.  So when I hear that about my own books, I do a happy dance for my characters, because they are absolutely real to me, and I've managed to make them, and their fate, real to others.



I'm linking the entire fabulous review from Sincerely Karen Jo here.

A few of my favorite quotes:

"Kathryn Knight amazingly mixed mystery, intrigue, heartache, romance and suspense in an emotional and gripping story that had me flipping through the pages and staying up all night."

"I found myself captivated throughout the entire time..."

"my heart ached and broke into pieces.  I rooted so hard for Mal and Dean to have their HEA..."

"a wonderful story about taking risks, forgiveness, friendship, living in the moment, hope and love."

Reading Review Wars on Dangerous Currents

Please check out the entire review here, and if this steamy second chance romance filled with secrets and suspense sounds intriguing, grab your copy, put your feet up, and get lost in Mal and Dean's story!  You can find DANGEROUS CURRENTS on Amazon, B&N, and iTunes.

I Got "The Call"! Signed with an Agent #amwriting #romance

Very, very rarely, things move quickly in the publishing world.  Usually, it's a business only for those with a superhuman level of patience--which really doesn't describe me, but I tell myself nothing worth having comes easy--but sometimes pieces fall into place in rapid succession.

Earlier this month, I posted about finishing HAUNTED SOULS, my fourth manuscript--a contemporary romance featuring a military hero, intertwined with a suspenseful haunting.  Now, I pushed myself hard to finish this one, because in December, this manuscript won an exclusive submission to a literary agency via a First Page Contest.  While it was fine to enter the contest with an incomplete manuscript, I knew if the agency was interested, there was not much they could do with a partial manuscript.  So, I forced myself to wait on submission until it was done.

And then...I got "The Call"!  While I love the small press I've been published with in the past, having an agent will open new doors to publication in the future, and it's the right step in my career.  Not to mention a dream come true!  I've worked with a number of authors my new agent represents in the past, and I'm thrilled to be part of the team.

Used my "lucky pen" - a
gift from a friend when
I received my first
publishing contract for
SILVER LAKE
Of course, there will be more waiting in the future...lots...as the submissions on this new manuscript go out and we wait to hear.  But for now...time to celebrate!

A glass of wine waiting for the
celebration after I sign with
my new agent!  Woot!
