Now, I joke and just call it smut. I really enjoyed writing it and had a small group of followers who encouraged me to turn those stories into a book.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Recently, I shared an old story with a new friend and they encouraged me to create that book. Honestly, I was and am nervous. What if I&#8217;m so rusty that I can&#8217;t write like that anymore or what if I publish it and it turns off my current readers so much that they don&#8217;t buy any of my other series?&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Well, there was only one way to find out. I wrote a new story and shared it with a couple of people that I know really enjoy that type of writing. They loved it! Honestly, that made me feel pretty good. I like writing things that people really enjoy. I decided to go ahead with a project that I&#8217;ve joked for years that I would write&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DQLPC9N6\" target=\"_blank\">Katie&#8217;s Book of Bedtime Stories<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It went live on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DQLPC9N6\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a>&nbsp;this afternoon and I&#8217;m nervously excited to be sharing it with all of you.
