How to Nail a Stud is the second book in my Vegas Billionaires series (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L5RKBTS). It’s about a single dad and his musician neighbor. They have a world of good reasons to keep their relationship platonic, but they can’t seem to stay away from each other. Their attraction and genuine respect for each other keeps pushing them together. Well, their attraction and an accidental kitchen fire.
Did you try the traditional route to publishing, i.e. querying agents/publishers?
I spent a lot of years aiming to be traditionally published. When I started, the advice was to get short stories published so I’d have credits to show agents. I spent a lot of years writing short stories, which only made it clear I’m never going to be a short story writer. I love creating characters and having a whole book to journey with them.
What factors influenced your decision to self-publish your book(s)?
A big part of my decision was that I wanted to have control over every part of the creation and publication of my books. I love being able to choose the covers for my books and to choose where and how they’re marketed.
What is your writing process? Do you listen to music or do you like silence?
I have to have silence while I write. I’ve tried listening to music, but I just end up singing along, which is bad on two levels. One, I don’t get any writing done and two, I have a terrible singing voice that pains my family.
Do you outline your story or just go where your muse takes you?
I outline my stories, but my characters don’t always agree with my plans. I’m open to changing my outline when it makes sense for the characters and the story.
What have you’ve learned during your self-publishing journey?
I’ve learned to manage my time well, because there’s always more to do than I have time for. That time management has forced me to learn what’s most important to me and to focus on that.
Besides Amazon, are there any other sites where your books are for sale?
The Vegas Billionaires series is only available at Amazon.
What advice would you give a new author just entering into the self-publishing arena?
One of the best things about self-publishing is the amazing community. There are so many people who’ve been where you are and are excited for you. Get on social media and make those connections.
Besides writing, do you have any other passions?
I love to cook. I could spend all day in the kitchen if I didn’t have books to write.
What’s next for you?
The next book I’ll have out is book five in the Catalpa Creek series (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MDCB5R1), The Poet in the RV which will be out this summer. It’s a fun road trip romance.
How to Nail a Stud
Katharine Sadler
Publication date: April 16th 2021
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Shel is tired of dating men who don’t appreciate her rock and roll wardrobe or her tomboy tendencies. She’s swearing off dating, and she is not going to give another moment’s thought to the hot single dad next door. She is not going to waste a single moment dwelling on his muscles or his eyes or the way he plays with his adorable six-year-old daughter.
Max has made mistakes, he’s been a terrible father, and he has no problem spending the rest of his life atoning by being the best, most devoted parent he can possibly be. A devoted father does not have wicked thoughts about his sexy neighbor, and he most certainly does not consider an actual relationship.
Except, he can’t stop thinking about Shel, and he’s not sure what to do about it.
