Thank You For Making "Tinsel and Tatas" a USA Today Bestseller

I wanted to say a big, huge, enormous thanks to all the readers who picked up a copy and all the author friends who have helped and are helping get the word out about "Tinsel and Tatas." So many of you were excited about our book and about the cause that we hit the USA Today Bestseller list! We've already raised thousands of dollars to support the Young Survival Coalition (which benefits people under 40 living with breast cancer) and are looking forward to continuing our great results for another three weeks! The anthology will be up until November 5th (it goes from $0.99 to $2.99 next Monday).

Excerpt from Tinsel and Tatas: "Last one Gets the Booby Prize"

Do you remember last year's Jingle Balls anthology? The one that benefited testicular cancer? Me and seventeen other award-winning, bestselling rom-com authors are back with a new holiday anthology. We're teaming up to sell #Books4Boobs. This collection of holiday shorts ranges from sweet to steamy and promises to entertain. 100% of proceeds will benefit the Young Survival Coalition, an international organization focusing on women ages 40 and under who are diagnosed with breast cancer. All stories can be read as standalones. Best of all, the anthology is being sold for just $0.99 for a limited time. https://amzn.to/3DeLVWAPick up your copy now!

ICYMI: Kilby's 2020 Year in Review + Big Thanks

I know what you’re thinking. Do we really want to review 2020? Or is 2020 the year we should never, ever speak of again? Yes, 2020 was trash. But it can be good to take a look back. Also, in case you were a little, erm…absent yourself in 2020, here is a digest version of all the things that happened in Kilby-land.

And don’t forget to keep scrolling. Down bottom is where I thank everyone who got me through.

Kilby Q&A: 10 Things You Always Wanted to Know About “A More Perfect Union” (But Were Afraid to Ask)

It's time for another installment of Kilby Q&A! This week, I answer 10 questions about A More Perfect Union, the new voting-oriented anthology I’m involved in. I may or may not talk about how I used to write fan fiction, and how I wrote fan fiction for The West Wing. And how Josh and Sam were my favorite couple. And how I wrote a few Donna and Josh, too. And how I studied political science and thought I would be a diplomat. Yeah, I may or may not talk about those things.

I'm Proud to Participate in #AuthorsAdopt2020 in Support of Frontline Health Care Workers Battling COVID-19

Usually, on Mother's Day, I post gratitude for the mothers in my life. Today, I'll post a different gratitude, for all the mothers who are working on the front lines of the COVID crisis, taking care of all the mothers who are sick and who can't be visited by and comforted by their own loved ones—the mothers who are taking care of so many people and not seeing or being able to hug their own mothers and their own kids.
