Stories Stations Outlet!

We’re now five days into the season and I gotta lock this down. Summer only comes once a year, so I’m taking this time to participate in several things. The first is revisions for MAGIX. With the help of one of my author besties and ProWritingAid, I intend to bring my baby back to life – that’s all I can say about that for now. And also… I’m now on Ko-fi! I mean, I’ve been over on Ko-fi for…

This was something I meant to do months awhile ago and am finally getting around to posting them for ya’ll. Please allow me to (re) introduce the main leads for my holiday-ish, slow-burn romance, Weathering Love! Up first is the our girl Tesla Jones. Listen, she’s nice, but not kind. And considering how she’s been taking care of everyone but herself for the last several years – I can’t blame…

Yes, your new favorite indie author is going OUTSIDE this year! I was selected to be a participating author for The Write Women Network Presents: Women in Fiction Book Fair! See, the made graphics and everything, lol Right now I’m working out logistics and supplies, but please believe I am EXCITED to be featured with so many other wonderful writers. Can’t wait to see you all there! -K. McCoy

I mean, I’ve tried taking the wheel a few times, but the characters of my stories weren’t having that. Which probably explains why my outline attempts all end up with dialogue in between them, hehe I’ve just learned to go with it and see where the story ends. For some, it’s a one shot. Others go until the main conflict is resolve – these are mostly my anthology pieces. And then some stories,…

Enjoy the last teaser for the month – Hits Keep Coming! The story about a girl from a small town, that learned she was anything but – thanks to her inner circle (sounds familiar?). This was story that almost wasn’t, the novel that became a novella, the characters that taught me that giving up is not an option. Thank you Jade, Jo, Xavier, and Clarity. I know y’all are a figment of my…

Happy Monday! Jade Thornton from Hits Keep Coming is this week’s MCM, and for good reason. Out of all the characters I’ve written, she is the one that I’ve sprinkled the most of my personality into. That wasn’t intentional – just the way it all went down, and I ain’t mad about that turn out So, what do you all think? Interesting in learning more about this read? Don’t worry, you’ll get a…

I have trained myself to not spend too much time checking for book reviews – them for readers so I mind my P’s and Q’s and stay out of them spaces, lol But there was one review for A Dove’s Cry that I couldn’t shake because it was so good in the most unexpected way. Which is why I had to share it here: I’d love to hear about the last review you’ve left for a book in the comments 🙂

I’m sure I know the answer but I’mma ask anyway. Y’all – not too much on my girl Tesla, she going through some thangs, LOL

This is no disrespect to any particular movie that has come to be from this path. My answer stems from how the “entertainment” industry has moved since the beginning, especially when it comes to minorities and womxn. If I found myself staring at this option, I’d go for a movie. That’s how I envision my stories while writing and it makes the most sense to me. And when the movie DOES take off, I…

It’s a new dawn, a new day, and I’m here to talk about The New E.R.A.! Enjoy this teaser from my first ever supernatural novella. Yeah, this story gets emotional. There’s still lots of ssa kicking going on, but I love tying in those connections too. So, enjoy! And don’t forget… Continue reading, continue writing, and continue loving the process! -K.McCoy

Good, now that I have your attention and you ready to spar, just know that this is MY opinion. So… Cause I know ya’ll book girlies and theybe’s like to tussle, lol These are MY favorite book tropes to write (right now): And like I side, that’s for now. As a multi-genre author, these tropes may change in a year or two, cause I’m currently working on multiple stories right now that are not…

Of course I’ve used someone’s name in a story that I know IRL. Just not in the way you’re probably thinking. I’m not giving no scrub the satisfaction of seeing their name in one of MY stories. As for people I like, now I’ll happily name drop them in a story. Most recently, I used not one, but three names in The New E.R.A. And no, I ain’t saying which names they are. Though that shouldn’t…

Now this is low-key some of the best writer’s advice I’ve received to date. And as a multi-genre author, I love writing the stories that keep me up at night. Characters visit me like they’re waiting in a therapy office, and some are louder than others – sounds like a bit much but it works for me. What’s some of the best writer’s advice you’ve received lately? I’m trying to see something,…

This (to ME) is some of the worst advice I’ve ever gotten as a writer. Cause writing everyday doesn’t work for me. In theory, it sounds nice, right? Schedule time to get them words and before long you have a draft that you don’t entirely dislike. But that’s not what happens – at all. I’ll start off strong, getting in 45 minutes to an hour of sprinting each day. Then my work schedule will…

This story is completed, and snippets are available over on Substack now! But let me give y’all the setup: Tesla is going through it, okay! With the demands of running the daycare, her moms voluntelling her to do something everything in her body is saying no to, and trying to be a good partner to their significant other, she finally snaps (after getting news from said partner after a twelve…

Oh, sweet Tesla! This MCM is all about Tesla Jones, from my Substack exclusive – Weathering Love. She took over the family’s daycare business five years ago, and after a sudden break up decides to book a month away at a cozy air bnb. Tesla (also known as TJ) is hard working and direct in public, but in private… she’s afraid of everything and everyone – expect Jesus Hernandez, the homeowner of…
