Katelynne R.

Katelynne writes stories with characters far darker than just grey. When she's not writing a world that will absolutely make her cry later, she can be found balancing a full time-career with late-night writing sessions fueled by too much coffee, and working towards law school... usually, all at the same time.

Ink & Oaths ~ A dark romance about obsession, betrayal, and love that leaves you ruined.

FAQs

1. Do your books involve dark themes?
Yes, and I highly advise you read the content warnings prior to actually starting to read them. They involve typical dark romance elements (violence, power dynamic / imbalances, etc.). Like I said, please, please, please read the content warnings. You can find in depth ones here.
2. Do your books need to be read in order?
I would recommend it, because they're not really super-standalone. Although Book One and Two are one couple, Book Three is another couple, and Book Four is the third, there's some plot issues that.. may be confusing if read out of order.
3. Do your books have HEAs?
Spoilering this because it could likely be a little.. spoilery for a couple books so far. Click at your own risk!
Technically yes, even though it does sometimes take a minute to get there. Ink & Oaths and Burn & Bind are interconnected, but it didn't make sense to keep them as a 250k word novel, so it was split up at the most reasonable point.
If this doesn't answer enough, you can reach out on Instagram / Threads / literally any social media and I'd love to babble about it. ♡
4. When is the next book coming out?
Ink & Oaths is scheduled to release Fall of 2026.
5. Will we get to see more of X character?
Probably. Full transparency, I have like.. 7 books plotted out for Silent Oaths and the Standalone-Yet-Connected series. I am totally in love with this universe and have 0 intentions of cutting it anytime soon.
6. Do you write closed-door versions of your books? If so, where can I get them?
No. Well. Technically yes, they do exist, but they're distributed very selectively since I have to personally order these, and are not available through retailers. These were mostly drafted and ordered so I didn't have to look specific people in the eyes after giving them the standard copy of the books. As of right now, there's no plans to distribute these outside of personal situations. (Because for obvious reasons, there are just some people in my life who are supportive as all hell that I do n o t want touching these books.)
7. Can I join your ARC/Street Teams?
ARC and Street Team openings will be announced on social media, but I absolutely would never be mad if you reach out to ask just incase I have spots available!
8. Where can I find your books? Any special goodies?
I'll link this once I have more specifics that I can share!!
9. Any upcoming signing/events that you're planning on attending?
:)
