By way of introduction, here is Katherine Monroe’s bio:
A native of Poland, Katherine Monroe, is an artistic soul who enjoys learning foreign languages and writing stories in various genres, with flavors from many cultures (especially East Asia).
Thank you for having me.
I think it was when I was between 10 and 12 years old. My family and I were on vacation with my uncle, when my younger sister and I made a contest with him to write the best short horror story – it was then I thought about being a writer in the future.
Unfortunately, no, I’m just beginning my journey. I can’t pay my bills with money from books yet, so I have to work in other fields as well.
I started as a 10-year-old, so I have been writing for 20 years, of course with some hiatus along the way since my teens to late twenties.
I won 2nd place in a popularity contest on Fictionate.me, the main platform I publish on, with my thriller novel Blossom Tears.
Six novels, counting in the three parts of my series Light & Darkness. Another two are in the making 🙂
Mostly Fantasy/Romance, but I wrote two novels from the Thriller/Crime/Suspense genres.
Thriller is the most challenging since I rarely write in this genre because it’s hard to write a good thriller suspense story. Fantasy is quite easy for me because it lets me freely use my imagination.
I will be writing Light & Darkness: Book 4 and currently I am writing a Fantasy/Romance novel called Love of the Snow-White Fox.
In a lot of places: music, movies, other books, sometimes all around me, while meeting various people.
Every positive comment, where people say they loved the story, is rewarding, showing me I should keep on writing because my novels can make others happy.
Never give up, especially if writing is something you love to do, read a lot, learn from others to improve your writing, look for inspiration everywhere: from various cultures to everyday life, you never know where you’ll find a great book idea.
I just want them to know I appreciate every opinion and hope that my novels are making them happy.
Most of my books contain a “love can change the world” idea, so I wish my readers would regain hope in the strength of love, since I believe in it with all my heart.
I love Stephen King’s works, also Anne Rice and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Overall horror books are my favorite, mostly in vampiric themes. I also like period romances like Jane Austen’s books.
Anne Rice for sure, Bram Stoker and Jane Austen for sure 🙂
Also, Stephen King, of course. And many more I don’t remember right now.
I think maybe Japanese anime. Many of my fantasy novels have elements of it. Korean detective dramas definitely inspired my thriller’s.
Anywhere there is good music, peace and nature.
Hmm, that’s a hard question, but maybe as a passerby? I don’t want any big role, to be honest 🙂
I would definitely ask if he needed any help, also about his tattoo, and maybe I would also give him some hot tea with honey.
Just promoting on social media, I guess. Although I’m not the best at marketing 🙂
But for sure, a pretty graphic or video about your novel is always eye-catching.
Yes, on Facebook you can find me as Katherine Monroe, which is my pen name, facebook.com/KatherineMonroePL . I also have an active Instagram as eastasiaaddict_pl
Most of them are on Fictionate.me or Dreame platform.
I also have some on reading apps like Readict, GoodNovel, OnReading, Libri & Bravonovel.

Preying On The Church, is an inspiring novel about an African American middle-age woman Margie, who is well-known in her community through her job as a Realtor, serving as a representative on the Rockford Town Council, and giving her portion of life at Rockford Baptist Church.
A tragic accident happens that no one could ever believe. After a church shooting, Margie loses faith as her life is shattered into pieces losing someone close to her that causes her to journey through the five stages of grief.
It takes her to the lowest possible point of survival: isolating herself from friends and family, losing faith, drinking alcohol, almost getting arrested, and losing her job to realize she is on a path of destruction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The paramedics placed Margie on the stretcher and rushed her outside to the ambulance while the cops placed tape around the church, which is to determine a murder scene.
Meanwhile at home, Barry heard the news on television. Wait, Margie and Jason are at the church. Why did no one call me?
He jumped up, put on his shoes, grabbed his keys, and ran out the door to his work truck.
When he arrived at the church, Barry glanced around the church and noticed red and blue lights blinking from all the police cars. There were crowds of people surrounding the church. He heard the cops telling everyone to move away and go home.
He ran up to the tape and his eyes widened as he realized that something terrible had happened inside. Barry started screaming, “Where are my wife and son? Where is wife and my son? Can somebody tell me where they are?”
“Calm down, sir,” said the detective. “I’m Detective Earl. Four of the victims have been rushed to the hospital, but we haven’t identified the bodies inside yet.”
“I can help you identify some of the victims because I attend this church with my family and I practically know everyone!” yelled Barry.
Barry knew that would be the only way to get inside to see if Jason and Margie were all right.
“Okay, just stay right here, sir, for just a minute.”
The detective went over and talked to the chief of police. They looked back and forth toward Barry and glanced at him sideways with narrow eyes.

Whatever comes out of my mind.
Hearing that readers have read my book and like it.
Keep writing, never give up. Taking in constructive criticism is essential to improve your writing craft.
I love writing, and I hope that readers enjoy reading my work.
I like Eric Carle’s books.
Nobody influenced me. I write just what comes out of my mind.
At my kids’ sports games or the park with my kids.
I wouldn’t want to be in the movie, but I think it would be interesting to watch on set.
If he’s sneezing and wheezing and coughing, I guess I’ll offer him a Kleenex.
Trying to appeal to readers who are interested in that genre.

May is a scientist who studies aliens. She has dedicated her entire life to finding out the truth. It jeopardized her marriage to Chris because he did not want her working in the lab. He wanted her to quit, but she stood her ground and it cost her much.
When she comes face-to-face with the alien she has been studying, what will she do? Will she run away or will she have feelings so strong for him that a romance blossoms.
The ground was blue and sandy, but I saw what looked like many trees and various flowers. Both were prominent and more substantial than those I knew back on Earth.
As I pulled into the castle, I was amazed. It was simply beautiful with long spiral towers that surrounded it on all sides. The walls were a beautiful blue and the water that surrounded it was purple. I had never seen anything so exotic.
The beauty is nothing compared to what she is about to experience when she meets ‘the Alien’.
Join professor and author Anthony Manna and me for our first discussion on the importance of author classroom visits. Author visits provide long term educational benefits to students and the community.
Sorry I’ve been away, but here’s what I’ve been up to.
Okay, so I’ve returned to the classroom full time and I’m struggling to carve out space in my day for writing posts like this one.
Let me rephrase my original statement, I’m finding it difficult to carve out space in my day for creative writing. I’ve been writing plenty of lesson plans.
Right before I went back to work, I adjusted my daily schedule to look like this.
I wanted to direct my efforts on finishing up the ever-growing pile of manuscripts I’ve accumulated over the years. Pretty efficient right?
I thought so. I also believed I’d be able to tweak the schedule to encompass everything I wished to do in a week when I returned to work.
Well, it hasn’t worked out. I forgot how drained I am after working all day.
(A wonderful impersonation of me when I get home from work! WAKE UP!!)
To get back on track, I’ve brainstormed strategies to include creative writing along with all the other stuff I need to do in my day.
Here’s what I’ve come up with: I need to stop cramming so much stuff into my schedule! At this point in my life, this should be a no-brainer, but every so often I must reexamine what I’m doing and remember this important tip.
I’m a slow learner sometimes!
Another simple trick I’ve come up with is to bring my laptop or journal to work and write during my lunch hour at least one day a week.
I’m also going to set up my folding table again with all the supplies I need to complete one manuscript at a time. This includes adding a timer and setting it for hour increments followed by a break. I was doing this several months back, and it worked splendidly.
List of Supplies:
Different colored pens
Pencils
Sticky notes File folders that have storyline ideas and research Robin Woods’ Prompt Me Novel (Tons of great ideas for writers in this workbook.)
I do have a writing desk, but I use it for composing lesson plans for other authors, book reviews, and loads of other things. Are you seeing a pattern here? Yeah, my mind is always going. Dare I say, visions of sugarplums fill my head even while I’m awake.
How do you carry out your creative writing schedule with a full-time job?
In the year 2270, the Lyceum Mechaniska laboratory has produced androids—part robot, part human—called “InOrganics.” Marigold is one such creation, built with the purpose of assisting individuals who have experienced emotional or physical trauma.
However, Marigold has been acting strangely, even aggressively. When Marigold is accused of murder, she is in danger of being terminated. Despite what scientists believe, she is innocent of her crimes and is now on a mission to stop a virus from being released and adhere to the last words of a dying man by finding “the Pink Bunny.”
Detective Chabox Brignadoc has long been suspicious of Lyceum and the company’s behind-the-scenes behavior. Brignadoc must determine if Marigold is actually guilty of murder or if she’s the victim of conspiracy.
In an adventure that spans two continents, both Marigold and DCI Brignadoc are in a race against time to expose a deadly secret that could change the face of humanity forever.
