Introduction

Hi, I’m Katie.

I have been on tumblr for a number of years, and dabbled in writing marvel fanfiction, and decided that it would be a good place to set up shop with an author page.

I have been obsessed with fantasy ever since my mum read Lord of the Rings to me when I was younger. I borrowed all the books I could from my aunt’s fantasy collection over the years and binge watched TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed, but it wasn’t until I was older that my love for fantasy grew from epic to paranormal romances and urban fantasies.

When I’m not writing, reading or daydreaming about anything fantasy whilst waiting patiently for my own Dragon Shifter to whisk me away I can be found obsessively buying stickers and journaling supplies, obsessing over fictional men, playing State of Decay 2 and other fantasy/horror games or binge watching a TV series that captures my attention. I have a deep love for Bucky Barnes, and enjoy photography, baking, music, marvel and I enjoy all creative arts overall.

I currently have one book out:- Shelter Me From Darkness - which can be found in ebook on all major retailers and paperback on amazon. -

Available now at your favorite digital store!

Shelter Me From Darkness by Katie L Smith

Blurb -

To break her curse, she must face her past.

Piper Hart never planned to return to her hometown, Stonehill. However, with a death curse slowly killing her, she’s out of other options.

But Stonehill—a border town that crosses to the Otherworld—is not how she remembers it. A darkness is creeping across the area and werewolves are turning up dead.

In exchange for answers to break the curse threatening her life, Piper agrees to work for Stonehill’s founder to solve the mystery of the dwindling wolf population. But there’s one catch.

She has to work alongside the man who broke her heart and caused her to leave town in the first place—Dean Lewis, heir to the werewolf pack, vice president of the Iron Wolves MC, and most importantly, her fated mate.

Can Piper learn to trust her magic, solve the town’s problems, and break her curse all while avoiding old feelings and the heat that still simmers between her and Dean?

With her life and Stonehill’s fate on the line, will Piper rise to the challenge or fall to the curse? 

I'm currently working on book 2 of the Shelter Me Trilogy - Shelter Me From Death and have a subscription which gets early access to my writing, one shots, early access to covers and ARCS and more both Ream Stories and Patreon

What I have been reading since the first of January, I'm currently in an Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance mood currently. And while I do set myself a reading goal at the beginning of the year I don't stress about whether or not I hit it (I have never hit it since I started setting it) partly because I am forgetful to track or update my progress on any app that allows you to track in the first place. But my hope is this year I will be able to do one or two posts a month of the books I have read during the month.

Where you can find me

There is a lot happening in this ever changing world of Social Media, with bans in place, policies changing along with a general feeling of hostility on certain platforms because they have been given the green light to say what they want without consequences.

So here is a list of places you can find me, where you might be the most comfortable. I can't say I am active on all of them, some I have just started, some I have only claimed my handle for, and I will be the first to admit the moment I have health flare ups or my energy levels drop beyond what I can cope with Social Media platforms are the first thing I retreat from, I am trying to be more consistent, and leaning towards the ones I have the most fun with.

A Fun Fact

A fun fact about me is that when I was younger I wanted to be a Paleontologist. All I wanted was to dig up dinosaur bones.

I used to watch Land Before Time on repeat and my favourite dinosaur was Apatosaurus because of Littlefoot, though I did also like Triceratops and Saurolohpus.
