Hey everybody! Time to check back in.

I'm K Arsenault Rivera.

I write original work, like my sapphic Eros and Psyche book OATH OF FIRE and my debut THE TIGER'S DAUGHTER, as well as IP stuff. I've written for Magic, DC, Star Wars, and Pathfinder.

Bisexual and Biracial.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

ALSO-- SHAMELESS PLUG TIME-- I left signed books behind in pretty much all of these stores, so if you weren't able to stop by and say hi while I was driving around, you can still duck in and grab an autographed book. Maybe. Go visit them and see. They'll definitely have something you'll want.

SO HEY IT'S SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY

Could I perhaps take a moment of your time to tell you about a couple of great little bookstores? I got to visit all of theme recently while doing my up-and-down the coast signing tour and they're all pretty fantastic.

Also a really good book to get for the other relative who's *fed up with* that relative!
Do you have a relative who keeps talking about how "RFK Jr. has a point about vaccines and autism?" Good news. My book We're Not Broken is on sale and Harper Collins has free shipping in the continental U.S. until December 8. Buy it here.

God's Junk Drawer is a hell of a ride!

Every time I thought I figured out what was going to happen I was surprised!

Check it out!
Maybe you'd like to take a break from shopping to read this little interview I did about my new book, GOD'S JUNK DRAWER

And then maybe you could go to your local book store and maybe pick up a book or three. They have lots. They'd love you to sell them to you.

Why do book preorders matter? Allow me to tap the screen & refer you to a good read about good news. #WOTStaff

So a lot of us woke up this morning to an email informing us that OMENS OF CHAOS (have you pre-ordered yet?) had been pushed from February 2026 to April 2026. People are understandably confused, not thrilled, and expressing both these things to me. So here's what I can say.

For what remains of Puerto Rican Heritage Month, I wanted to share work by other Puerto Rican authors

@anndavilacardinal.bsky.social has several novels, including Five Midnights, Category Five, both of which portray how Diasporicans end up back in the archipelago one way or another
I really did take the weekend off on this, didn't I? Lol catching up. . .

Late, but I wanted to jump in on this trend. While I love Fieren, I am deeply inspired by how brave this person was! They went for the hard thing, were curious, made us all rejoice and draw together!

It makes me so happy to see folks gain that artistic curiosity!

So go forth! Rooting for you! 💖
