FIRST… THE CON ARTIST:
Art. Obsession. Twisted possession.
When starving artist Saskia Roth meets Lachlan Niche, a local art collector and tech tycoon, she has no idea how her life is about to change. One act of desperation, one con gone wrong, and she finds herself at the mercy of a powerful man she fears and despises–or so she thinks.
As her desire for him grows, life as his captive becomes something more… something that could both transform her and destroy her.

Cheyenne Redding says
I’m super duper excited for this! I love you doing releases! (New or old)
Kitty says
Thanks! LOL why because I give a lot of stuff away? 😛 But even if you’ve already read Con Artist, it’s definitely worth your while to grab the 99 cent digital version during this sale to get the teaser at the end!
Cheyenne Redding says
You do give a lot away and I just think that’s awesome and crazy but it pulls in new readers/people who might be interested and makes it a bigger community, if that makes sense. And I donno, having people to chat with is nice 😀 <3
Kitty says
Thanks! I try to do a monthly giveaway of some type but a bigger one when I have a release or re-release.

cecile smits says
I’m re-reading the Con Artist and loving it🖤
I can’t wait for the Escape Artist!🖤
Kitty says
Don’t forget there is a over 2k length teaser scene from EA at the back of the re-release in digital (this is all formats so all the links in the blog post for digital but if the one you want isn’t shifted to 99 cents yet I’d wait and grab it on sale.)
Cecile Smits says
I’m re-reading the copy i already have,but i’ll be sure to ask my friend about that teaser.😎 She bought it straight after i told her about the sale🖤
Kitty says
💟
Mary Preston says
This is all fantastic thank you.
Kitty says
💟
Louise Hallett says
I’ve pre-ordered and can’t wait to read BOTH books.
Kitty says
Thanks, Louise! Con Artist and Escape Artist?
Cecile Smits says
You’re making a good friend of mine so happy with all your sales!🥰
I send your alerts to her every time,and so far she’s picked up most,and loving them as much as i do🖤
Kitty says
awwww that makes me feel good to hear. I don’t mind doing sales but so often you get a lot of people grabbing the books at 99 cents and hoarding them on their ereader and never “getting around” to reading them. Obviously we make like pretty much nothing on a 99 cent sale, the point is to get more readers. If people actually READ the books they get from me for 99 cents, I am happy to do it!
Bridget says
This is wonderful. Thank you.
Kitty says

Azmira says
Looking forward to this one!

Elizabeth Robinson says
Thanks for the giveaway.
Kitty says
you’re welcome! 💟
Dar says
I love all your books, but this one, well, it took my breath away in such an amazing way because of it’s originality and emotional response I had to it!
Kitty says
Awww thank you. Yeah I love Quill so much. I know he can be an intense motherfucker but I just love him.
shannon zeidan says
I’m really excited to read this. How do you stay motivated to keep writing when ideas don’t come as quick?
Kitty says
That’s not a problem. I have a whole folder full of ideas. Some of which I will probably never get around to writing because I have so many. It’s more an issue of staying motivated to sit down and write and not be afraid I’ll “mess it up”. i.e. not procrastinating.
Krystal says
Oooooo! This sounds good. 😍
Kitty says
thank you!
Betul says
Hi Kitty,
Happy re-release!
I was wondering if there is a (sub)genre or trope you would love to write but haven’t yet. If so, what (sub)genre/trope?
Kitty says
hmmm I don’t know the answer to that to be honest. I would like to do more menage stories though.
lori byrd says
Your books sound amazing!
Kitty says
Thank you!
Audrey Stewart says
I love Kitty Thomas and I consider myself one of her biggest fans. I have read all her books. I really enjoyed the Pleasure House Series. I have read them twice.
Kitty says
Thanks so much!
Jean Craven says
Thank you for the chance to win this. awesome giveaway!
Kitty says
thank you!
Sara Zielinski says
Thank you for holding this giveaway, I like how you get to pick the books so we get a random selection.
Kitty says
Yeah sometimes I let the winners pick and sometimes I pick. Sometimes it has to do with what I have on hand and whether or not I can afford to do a big book order lol
Kathy Fitzgerald says
Awesome giveaway, thanks for the chance!
Kitty says
❤️
Latifa Morrisette says
So excited. Do you have a favorite from each book?
Kitty says
Do I have a favorite what from each book?
Nikki Hughes says
What book are you working on now? And which do you think will be released after
The Escape Artist?
Kitty says
I just finished The Escape Artist and it’s in the editing phase. I’m taking a little break from writing right now dealing with the con artist re-release but I will either write the third and final book in the con artist world next or if Brian will talk to me I’ll write the first novella from Brian and Mina’s novella series.
Bri Ramsey says
Either one will be perfect, because we love what you write!
Kitty says
Thanks!
Brianna Ramsey says
I cant wait for the new hook!!! Super excited!
Kitty says
Thank you!
Mari Ann says
Congrats! Love the covers ❤️
Kitty says
thank you!
Mirele Dourado Pauly says
it sounds so great! congratulations!
Kitty says
thank you!
Marcie L. says
Congrats on your new re-release!! Can you tell me? What inspired you to get into writing?
Kitty says
I think I always wanted to be a writer. When I was in Junior high I started trying to write novels. Of course back then I was writing these sort of RL Stine/Goosebump style stories. I started publishing in 2008 with Paranormal romance under the name Zoe Winters and then started simultaneously publishing the types of books I write now, starting with Comfort Food (the book I’m most known for) in early 2010.
Mya Murphy says
What kind of recreational types things do you like to do when not writing?
Kitty says
Painting (watercolors) and ballet.
Renata says
It’s wonderful !!
Kitty says
thank you!
Robyn Bellefleur says
What do you do in your spare time?
Kitty says
painting (watercolors) and ballet.
Tammy Dalton says
Are there any books you’ve written that you scrapped or put aside because you thought people weren’t ready for it?
Kitty says
Nope. I thought people weren’t ready for comfort food (and actually that was largely true judging by all the people who were “too scared” to read it when it came out… then a few years later when they’re reading dark romance, they forget about me), but I published it anyway.
Mary says
Congratulations on your re-release! You were the one to give me my first dark read. Thank you for introducing me to this genre!
Kitty says
Thanks, Mary!
Jennifer Shiflett says
Amazing giveaway!! I love fall and winter, but I tend to stay inside, too. Do you have a go-to drink to warm you up? I know I drink too much coffee, but I’m addicted to the Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce creamer right now.
Kitty says
No, I try not to be in a “habit” of things like coffee drinking. Too much caffeine IMO is harmful to lady hormones. And while I think decaf is largely fine, it depends on the decaf. They use a lot of toxic chemicals to create decaf coffee most of the time. THough there are better methods, most coffee shops don’t have decaf coffee made that way.
Amy Pollard Woolard says
This cover is just GORGEOUS!!! I love it! I cannot wait to get a copy of this book! I really want a physical copy to display on my shelf!
Kitty says
The Con Artist is not part of the giveaway but be sure to check out my sale page where I’m selling signed copies of this title for a limited time. I have both paperback and hardcover available: https://books-by-kitty.myshopify.com/
Kitty says
and thank you!
Janet says
Hi Kitty. Pre ordered and reviews at ready. Good luck with the re-release!
Kitty says
Thanks so much, Janet! <3
Christine says
I already own the original Con Artist, but it’s worth .99 cents for the Escape Artist teaser. The story absolutely gutted me, but I need more of Quill & Saskia’s story!
Kitty says
Wish granted! There is a lot more of Quill in EA but also there is more progression on his story with Saskia. Also, if you haven’t read Twisted Fates ( my n newest release in the Pleasure House world, Quill and Saskia have a sort of sweet cameo in that one!)
Linda Romer says
Looking forward to reading your books Kitty! Thank you
Kitty says
Thanks, Linda!
Elle says
Congrats on the new (re-)release!
You said to ask anything, so… Any plans to indulge for Thanksgivings?
Kitty says
I eat a normal amount of Food on thanksgiving, just thanksgiving food. I don’t stuff myself silly because you can eat leftovers in a few hours and not feel sick.
Max Morais Dos Santos says
Nice release!
Kitty says
thanks!
Terri Shaw says
This sounds like a fantastic book! Can’t wait to read it.

Sandra Dufoe says
Sounds like an amazing read and I love the cover. This is also an amazing giveaway.
Kitty says
thanks, Sandra! Hope you enjoy!
Emmaline says
Happy re-release of the EA! This is so exciting!
Thank you for the giveaway chance.
No questions right now, but I really admire your strength of character, in knowing what works for you and what doesn’t (I gathered this from reading your replies to some of the comments).
Kitty says
awww thank you. That means a lot!
Dusty Summerford says
I’m new to you! Where should I start?
Kitty says
I don’t have a book reading order. All my books are standalones. except for the pleasure house world which are interlocking stand alones. The Con Artist is the first stand alone in a series of interlocking standalones (my upcoming Escape Artist is the second of three books coming in that world). So since Con Artist is on sale and there is no conflict with reading it first, I would say start there.
Danielle McDonald says
I love the covers and your books sound awesome cant wait to dive into one
Kitty says
Thanks! I would recc The Con Artist
Konnie says
Just bought the re-released Con Artist even though I already had it because I felt like supporting you, fangirl that I am, plus why not pay just 99c to get the Escape Artist teaser, right? And my, what a teaser it is! 😍👍❤️ Can’t wait to read the whole thing in January!
Kitty says
Thanks, Konnie! That’s in large part why I put the Con Artist re-release at 99 cents because I was putting the teaser in the back. I needed to boost visibility to help boost visibility for EA but I also wanted to offer a deal that my readers who already had CA could appreciate without feeling gouged.
Becky fairweather says
Amazing 😉
Kitty says
Thanks!
Amy Friedentag says

Katrina Dehart says
Are you doing the cooking for thanksgiving?
Kitty says
No, I don’t cook. I’m in charge of decorating. (I mean I DO cook, but not for Thanksgiving. That’s not my family job. My job is decor and games.)
Amanda says
What is your favorite book/author?
Kitty says
Right now I’m really enjoying a lot of books from JA Huss. Also Willow Winters and Anna Zaires.
Mood Reader says

Kitty says
Thank you!
Tashia M Jennings says
Have you already started Christmas shopping? Tree up?
Thank you for this wonderful chance
Kitty says
I probably won’t be shopping. I will be baking and painting things for people. One of my little trees is up and some of my indoor decor. My other two larger trees I’m doing the day after Thanksgiving. Also I’ve decorated my outside trees.
Corissa Palfrey says

The Bookclectic says
Hi Kitty! Since I’m leaving a comment for your giveaway, I’ll take the opportunity to say that I have read several of your novels, and I’d like to compliment your writing. It’s excellent in my opinion. You’re very, VERY good at placing into words the inner struggles your characters experience. It’s easy for me to image myself in the place of your characters, because the emotions (if not the extreme situations) are so similar to those I’ve experienced myself.
Kitty says
Thank you! That means a lot!
The Bookclectic says
❤
Kitty says
🙂
Victoria Alexander says

Dale Wilken says

Kitty says

Jeanna Massman says
I like the cover. It’s so romantic.
Kitty says
Thank you! This is dark romance though. Be warned it’s a kidnap/real slave storyline.
Tish Delanoy says
This is an amazing giveaway!! And the book was fantastic!!
Kitty says
Thank you! Did you see the teaser scene for Escape Artist?
AlexD. says
Turkey or Ham for Thanksgiving?
That’s my only question ^_^
Kitty says
both
Celeste Herrin says
Your book covers are always amazing and seem to tell a story on their own! The cover is what first gets my attention and usually lets me know if I’m likely interested. Great job as usual!
Kitty says
Thanks!
Amy Green says
I have a question! Is there any special kind of research you did before writing this book?
Kitty says
I was already learning non-toxic ways to paint with oils without using turps and other harmful chemicals. So I utilized that in this book but I don’t think I specifically researched it FOR this book. It was just research I’d done for personal reasons/purposes that became useful in this book.
Debbie P says
This sounds like an awesome book and I can’t wait to read it.
Kitty says
thanks!
Bea LaRocca says
This sounds like an awesome read
Kitty says

Jenny Ham says
How long does it take you to write a book? Do you come up eith ideas for your next book before you finish what your working on?
Kitty says
It varies “calendar time” with how long it takes, but it generally takes about the same amount of “actual days worked time”. It generally takes me something like 30-40 actual days of writing to write a book. Sometimes though I’ll get blocked or procrastinate a lot or get involved in other things in my life and it can take a lot longer on the calendar. The longest one took 17 months. But when you count the number of days I actually seriously sat down and WROTE it definitely wasn’t longer than 60 days. And editing takes about a week once I get my edits back because after decades of writing I write really clean first drafts. (I would hesitate to call it a “rough draft” because I don’t really think I write “rough” drafts anymore just because of the level of experience I’ve acquired at this point.) As far as ideas go… sometimes they happen while I’m writing a book and sometimes after. Normally what happens is I’ll get stuck on a book and the work will really start to drag and I’ll get inspiration for a new story and be outlining and making notes.
And that helps me get back into and finish the book I’m working on because once I’ve committed to a book I finish it. Since I started publishing I haven’t left any book I’ve gotten past the first chapter on. So the new idea motivates me to finish up what I’m working on so I can write the new idea.
