I’ve been reading a lot of books lately that happen to use soulmates as a plot device. And quite frankly, I’m getting tired of it. I have no issue with the idea of soulmates, the notion that there’s one person out there whose soul is a perfect match for your own. And I don’t even →

You see, when the cat wants to sit on you, you have to stay seated until the cat wants to get up. This is rule number two in cat ownership. (Rule number one involves an incredible amount of food and a timely feeding schedule.) I feel like if the world generally understood rule number two, →

We moved to Florida when I was fifteen years old. I’ve always been the daydreamy, romantic type, so when the first hurricane was forecasted for our area, I was mostly intrigued, and when school was canceled, I felt downright excited. One of my greatest and most terrible talents is my ability to outsleep everyone, but →

It’s been brought to my attention that my fans are missing my blog posts, so here you go! This one is for you! First, if you are keeping track, it’s only twelve days till Lord of the Rings Day! In case you don’t know, Lord of the Rings Day is a holiday that I made →

Perhaps you’ve been thinking to yourself…hmm, no new Kate Lexie blog for several weeks now. I bet she’s completely out of thoughts! If so, you might be right! That happens sometimes. I prefer to only give you my highest-quality thoughts, so if it happens that I’ve run out of high-quality thoughts, sometimes I have to →

I just got back from a fun-filled long weekend in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It’s a really pretty island. We stayed at Hotel El Convento, which was mostly awesome, although at times weirdly inconsistent. For instance, our bathroom rug mysteriously disappeared halfway through our stay. Why? I don’t know. But I missed it. It was →

The salmon are really running now. I watch the bears on YouTube most days. It’s nice to have it on in the background while I write. Totally not bad for productivity. Yesterday, 747 (Fat Bear Week Champ from 2022) was eating salmon, but there were so many salmon available, he was just opening up salmon →

You’ll be glad to hear that the bear cams for Fat Bear Week have been picking up lately. The season is off to a very slow start, but lately, anytime I turn on the bear cam, I can see at least one or two bears doing bear things, so that’s a good feeling. The bears →

Summer is always such a busy time. I always think it’s going to be slow and easy since the kids are out of school and everything should be more relaxed. But once you toss on vacations and camps, it kinda goes by before you know it. We recently got back from spending two weeks in →

This is a story of one day and two pastas. You might think it’s fiction, which would be understandable since I do write a lot of fiction. But this story is totally, completely, one hundred percent fact. In fact, it happened just Saturday. We were spending the weekend in Quebec City, which is really a →

I’ve never been that scared of lightning, because statistically speaking, it always just seems like such a long shot. Out of all the tall trees and metal objects, what are the chances lightning will come for me? Not likely, I’d say. Of course, my husband insists on hooking up all our devices to surge protector →

It’s been a rough week over here. It’s been the sort of week where you just can’t do anything, literally. You see, the Intenet was out. (I’ll pause here a moment to allow you all to process the horror.) It went out Monday around ten in the morning. I wasn’t too worried. I thought it’d →

Great news, everyone! My cover for my Bookland prequel, Somewhat Before, is here, and it is spectacular! I’m sure I’ll be doing a cover reveal at some point if you follow me on the socials. Or you can just see it when it comes out. It’ll be available on Amazon to buy, or it’ll be →

It rained a lot last night. Which maybe isn’t a Thoughts-worthy thought, but it was a lot of rain. And it lasted a long time. And it was loud. I didn’t mind when I was inside. In fact, I thought it kind of worked, in a soothing, atmospheric kind of way. But when I had →

The Fiercest Chicken in the Bookstore is launching this Friday! I’m kind of nervous this time. With Somewhat Alive, I didn’t necessarily believe anyone was actually going to read it. Obviously, I felt it was a quality book, or I would not have shared it with the world, but I’d heard stories of books going →

I hate the feeling of having decided to change services, but having to wait until the previous thing has expired so you don’t waste money paying two companies for the same thing. I want to redo my website, but my annual subscription isn’t up until August, so I’m kind of stuck waiting around. I do →

Good news! I have successfully configured my DNS settings. (Technically Jeremy configured my DNS settings, but when you’re married, you sort of share victories like that.) The wheels of progress have been turning swiftly here. I got my proof copy of The Fiercest Chicken in the Bookstore over the weekend, so I’m going to be →

Big week here for me! I’ve started a new project, which is a prequel to Somewhat Alive. This will be a novella narrated by Charlotte that covers the beginning of the apocalpyse from her point of view. At first, I was worried that a six-year-old protagonist would be weird, but as soon as I started →

Sometimes I wonder if my cat ever gets lonely being the only cat. She’s never seemed very thrilled with any other animals, so probably not. Just…sometimes I think if I lived in a house with four other people of a different species and I was the only human, it might feel weird sometimes. I’d have →

I’ve been really interested in Ireland lately. I found a fun website that has all sorts of fascinating facts about Irish culture and history. I found what I believe to be an authentic recipe for nettle soup. The only problem is, I’m not sure where to get nettles around here. Publix didn’t have any. It’s →
