I read this article on Huffpost today titled: “Readers Don’t Owe Authors Shit” (link at the bottom of this post). It made me very sad. So much anger and spite from a reader towards indie authors who ask for reviews from readers and indie booksellers asking for readers to come buy books from them, to […]

How I Write So Many Books: My System, A Theory, and a Few Random Thoughts
I’ve had several people ask me how I’ve written so many books (18, all but 2 over 85k words) in such a short period of time (15 months), and I’ve answered the questions as they’ve come up. But I was thinking that maybe it would be worth posting a blog article about it, so people […]
Every Review Counts
I noticed that the majority of my readers who read all of my books will leave reviews on just one or two of them, and I really wish that wasn’t the case. I wish they’d leave reviews for all of the books they’ve read, whether they’re mine or someone else’s. I risk sounding ungrateful in […]
Fun little side project. FREE new story for ya, readers.
I’ve got some ideas that are swimming around in my head, bothering me, harassing me, now to the point that I need to do something with them so I can focus on my planned work. And so my Wattpad adventure is born: www.Wattpad.com/ellecasey I have a New Adult Romance/Comedy started on there, and it’s available […]
No, I don’t get my ideas from my dreams like Stephenie Meyer does.
People often ask where I get my book ideas from. Many of them know Stephenie Meyer’s story, how she woke up from having a dream about an innocent girl and a vampire boy lying in a meadow of flowers discussing how badly they needed each other and yet how much he wanted to suck her […]

Why does everyone hate clichés so much?
Clichés. I like ’em dammit. My book WRECKED has a few reviews that say the story is “cliché” or some of the characters are or whatever. It’s obviously a downgrade in these people’s minds. But why? We all went to high school. Or those of us who weren’t home-schooled did. Did you all have the […]
Wise Words from … Me. Discussing the state of publishing today with an agent.
I wrote a comment on a well-known blog one day a couple months ago, giving my opinion about the role of agents in the publishing world. Just after it happened, I was contacted by the agent who wrote the blog article who wanted to get my thoughts on the matter, and we had a nice […]
2013 New Year’s Resolutions
I never stick to my non-writer resolutions. But this year … this year will be DIFFERENT! However, just in case, I’ll stick to my writer resolutions for this blog post, because they have a LOT better chance of being accomplished. Here are my writer goals for 2013 Finish the Desperate Measures series (pen name Kat […]

A 33 minute interview of me answering reader questions. Plus some choice insults for Jason Brant towards the end. 🙂
To Be or Not to Be (transparent, that is)
Those of you who’ve been to my Facebook fan page know that I’m incredibly open about my writing process, my life, my daily schedule, etc. Sometimes I even chat after I’ve had too much wine. It’s a part of my day that I really look forward to, interacting with all of the wonderful readers who […]
For the would-be writers out there…
The reason I’m putting this post up is because I get a lot of emails and messages asking me for advice on writing and self-publishing. For those would-be writers out there, here’s some stuff I thought you might find interesting: I read an article written by an agent, its distinct tone being: “Writers need agents, […]
