You guys. I’m sooooooo excited to finally get back to LibertyCon after 3 years! The schedule came out last night, and it just really amped my excitement that much more. 🙂 So in order to have some kind of outlet for this energy, I’m going to share my schedule with you!
Sadly, however, LibertyCon is sold out for this year. But if you’re going to be there, please find me at one of these events and say Hi! 🙂
Hey Friends! This coming weekend, I’ll be a guest at MarsCon in Norfolk, Virginia! If you’ll be in the area, come hang out and see me hobnobbing with the likes of D.J. Butler, Mark Wandrey, Marisa Wolf, and Chris Kennedy!
It should be a fantastic time!
If you can’t make it, no worries. Watch this space for an AAR of some type, whether it be a convention Vlog or a more traditional blog-style after action report. I haven’t decided yet! 🙂
Hope to see you there!
Hey Friends! I started a YouTube Channel! Mostly because I wanted another way to reach out and continue building this awesome community of fans and friends. After doing some research, I realized that if I added YouTube to my existing newsletter and private Discord server, I could really up the interaction quotient and have a good shot and upleveling this community!
So here’s what you should do. First, make sure you’re subscribed to my newsletter! Not only will you get 2 free short stories, but you’ll also get the magic link to the private Discord server where I interact with my fans on the daily. In that server, you’ll also find a channel where you can post questions I’ll answer during my weekly live chats.
Then, I would love it if you’d head over to my channel: Kacey Ezell Writer Life, and check out a few videos! Maybe gimme that Chuck Yeager Thumb’s Up (ie. hit the “like” button!) and see if you’d like to subscribe! I anticipate using this channel to document my transition from full time pilot to full time writer, and all the stops in between!
As always, my friends, I’m so happy you’re here. Thanks for being part of my community and supporting me as I work to make it something even bigger and more awesome than ever!
Much love,
kc
Hey Friends! What do you think? I decided it was time to change things up a bit and implement a sleeker, more modernized look! Big thanks to Rob McClellan at ModFarm Designs for doing the heavy lifting!
One of the advantages of this new design is that it’s easier than ever for me to make these blog posts. So let me know, is that something you’re interested in seeing? As a reminder, if you want weekly content from me, you are always welcome to join my newsletter! You’ll get my weekly update email, as well as two free downloadable short stories. Please check it out, We’d love to have you at the Cool Kids’ Table! 🙂
much love,

PS. If you DO decide to join my newsletter, you’ll also get the link to my private Discord server. Come hang out with me and the super cool community of fans, writers, and other creative types there! We do writing sprints, ask journaling questions, and just generally talk about whatever is on our minds. I LOVE it, and I think you will too!
Hey Friends! So I’ve discovered a new favorite method of virtual interaction! Have you ever heard of Discord? Discord is a sort of virtual space where people can hang out and chat via text or voice, play games, have discussions, and just generally be themselves. I have found that next to my newsletter emails, it’s my absolute favorite method of interacting with my community of friends and fans.
Wanna come join us? My server is called “Between Lost And Found” and we talk a lot about living a creative life and all the ups and downs that go along with that. We also run writing sprints and challenges there, and talk about upcoming conventions and books and all kinds of stuff.
I’m not going to post an open invite here on the website because… you know… it’s the internet. But if you’re interested in coming to hang out, I’ve got invites in every single issue of my weekly newsletter. So if you haven’t signed up yet, please do! You’ll also get two free short stories. There’s a signup link in the sidebar.
Come join us in the spaces Between Lost and Found!

So I’m a little late in announcing this, but for all of you Murphy’s Lawless fans out there, Beyond Terra Press has kicked off the second season of Murphy’s Lawless with my novella Sundown, released back in March. It’s the story of what a dangerous man will do to protect the people he loves. I’m stoked to report that critics and fans alike loved it! If you haven’t checked it out yet, please consider doing so, and if you love it as much as they have, please leave a review!
Kevin Ikenberry followed up in April with Desperado, a beautiful tale of love and choices, and it’s currently going strong over on the ‘Zon. Kevin really leveled up with this story, and I’m super proud to recommend it. Just like above, go check it out and please, if you love it (like I know you will–it’s super good!) leave a review!
Finally, look out for Shadows, by William Alan Webb. Bill is a newcomer to the Murphy’s Lawless series, but I’ve gotten a few sneak peeks at his story and believe me, it’s one you don’t want to miss. The entire Murphy’s Lawless project and Chuck Gannon’s Caine Riordan universe in general is something so cool and synergistic. I cannot wait for you to read Shadows and the other novellas that will be following it!
Have you checked out Chuck Gannon’s Caineverse yet? If you’re a fan of hard SF mixed with James Bond-type adventure, you really should! It’s fantastic, and the first one is free!
Wow. Well. That was a year. I don’t think anyone would argue that 2020 wasn’t challenging on so many fronts. But I will say that, even in the midst of struggle, I found myself grateful for so much. If nothing else, the events of 2020 reinforced to me that it’s important to celebrate the little victories… or as I like to say “take your Ws” where you can. 🙂
So here, my friends, are a few of my Ws for this year. These are the books and stories that came out during the year the world stopped turning (but really didn’t!)
My friends, I hope you have a fantastic 2021. I hope that you’re able to build on your Ws from 2020, and I hope that you find joy and ease along the way!
Much Love,
kc
PS. Are you a member of my mailing list, The Cool Kids’ Table? If not, you should totally join! We’re doing an amaaaazing giveaway in January! Plus, when you sign up, you get access to my weekly updates and two short stories totally FREE!
My Friends, in case you missed it, SECOND CHANCE ANGEL released on 8 September 2020! If you haven’t checked it out yet, maybe give it a look? It’s a SF Noir mystery that Griffin Barber and I had an absolute blast writing. Here’s our cover copy:
After a devastating galactic war, disgraced veteran Ralston Muck ekes out a living as a bouncer at Last Stop Station’s premier nightclub, A Curtain of Stars. Night after night he listens to the club’s star performer, Siren, sing her memories and ease some of his aching loss. But when Siren goes missing, Muck finds himself drawn into a world of dirty cops, drug lords, and conspiracies that trace back to the war itself.
The only person he can trust isn’t even human. Angel, Siren’s personal AI, was ripped from the singer’s mind the night Siren disappeared. With no idea what has happened to her human host, and pursued by a killer virus, Angel flees to Muck for answers.
Together they struggle to comprehend the conspiracy that entangles both their lives. Can Muck and the angel on his shoulder recover Siren before it’s too late? Or will he lose everything that matters to him one more time?
I’m really proud of this one, and I’d love it if you’d check it out. And if you love it too, please leave a review!

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that 2020 has been the veritable definition of “interesting times” so far. 🙂 But that really isn’t a good excuse for neglecting my website, so I’ll beg your pardon, dear friends, and offer up this gallery of breathtaking cover art as recompense!
I’ve been so proud to have participated in each of these projects that released this year. I hope you’ll take a look and maybe find something new or fun or inspiring as we continue to push forward in this strange new world post-pandemic.
Also, if you haven’t already signed up for my mailing list, please consider doing so. I do a better job of keeping up with communications over there, and that’s where I’ll make announcements and stuff, including the occasional call for early readers!
Stay safe, and take care of yourselves and those around you, my friends. No storm lasts forever.
Much love,
kc
Holy Noir, amirite? How’s that for a sexy cover?
I thought you all would like it! The incredibly talented Griffin Barber and I wrote a delicious little SF Noir novel. The also incredibly talented Kurt Jones put together this amazing cover, and I’m super excited to share it with all of you!
You’ll have to wait till next September to read the book, but in the meantime, head over to YouTube and check out the tune that inspired it all!
PS. This is actually the second announcement I’ve made. First look went out to my email list earlier today! If you want to get in on the early scoop (which may include snippets of future works like this one!) head on over to my mailing list and subscribe! You can unsubscribe at any time, and I’ll never sell, rent, donate, or otherwise abuse your data. Plus, you’ll get a free downloadable story set in my Psyche of War universe!
Hey Friends! I’m a little late in announcing this (but what’s ten-ish days between friends, right?) but Gunpowder and Embers is available now at booksellers everywhere!
And, since I AM late in announcing this, I’m able to also announce that it’s a National Bestseller! That’s right, as of the time of posting this, it’s the #6 hardcover in the nation, according to Bookscan, as well as being #19 in Science Fiction!
To those of you who’ve already picked it up, THANK YOU! I hope you love it. We really had a good time writing this post-apocalyptic western adventure story with giant ants and dragons. I can’t wait to bring you book two!
