Music is such an integral part of the Life is Strange universe, so I would be remiss not to share my own playlist for Life is Strange: Out of Focus! If you're curious what I listened to while drafting the book, here you go: music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Welcome to the world, Chloe Price! 🦋 Life is Strange: Out of Focus is officially out today from Titan books! Returning to the Life is Strange world for this book was such a joy. I hope you all will give her some love and that I did her justice 💙 Buy: www.rosieethor.com/life-is-stra...

A copy of Life is Strange: Out of Focus sits face out (On the cover, Chloe, a white girl with chin length teal hair, is in the foreground wearing a jean jacket. Behind her is a blue and pink paint splatter with a lighthouse shining its beam to the right.) Beside it sits a copy of Life is Strange: Steph's Story spine out, a full mug of tea with bleeding hearts painted on it, and a mason jar of orange, white, and pink flowers.

TONIGHT! Double the cozy, double the fun (or double the puns!) Join me, Kat, and Jamie for a cozy conversation about our queer cozy fantasy sequels that both happen to be dark blue for some reason. We'll be chatting at Powell's at Cedar Hills Crossing at 7pm! 🍂🦇🌙

White text on a purple background says "Powell's Books presents kat HIllis and Rosiee Thor with Jamie Pacton" at the top. On the left, the book covers for Summer Coven and Homeward for a Spell are off center with white clip art bats and an acorn. On the right, all three author photos are stacked. At the bottom, white text says "Powell's at Cedar Hills Wednesday Aug 26 7PM"

SUMMER COVEN is out today! Arthur and Sal are back for another adventure as a vampire-husbands crime-solving duo, this time at a summer solstice festival crawling with witchy suspects! 🌙🍧🐈‍⬛ Grab a copy of our cozy paranormal mystery www.rosieethor.com/summer-coven

a table display of Dead & Breakfast (Two men stand in the foreground. On the left, a white man with graying hair wearing a suit and tie holds a cup of coffee. On the right, a shorter man with long dark hair, pale skin, and a ruffly cravat holds a goblet of blood with a silly straw. They both have vampire fangs. Behind them is a field of flowers and a large house with a cat perched on a sign that says “welcome. Over the top is the title “DEAD & BREAKFAST” the tagline “come for the vampires stay for the scones” and the byline “Kat Hillis & Rosiee Thor”) and Summer Coven (In the foreground, two vampires ride a teal tandem bicycle. In front, a white man with graying hair, a light gray suit, and bright red tie holds a pink slushie and looks adoringly at his husband behind him, who has luscious curly black hair, a plum purple suit, puffy cravat, and is holding a blood red popsicle. In the front basket, a black cat perches with her paws up. Behind them, a festival is underway with bright pink tents and red flags in front of dark green trees. People mill about, some wearing pointy witch hats. Yellow text with a pink drop shadow spells out "SUMMER COVEN" over a dark blue sky with a yellow crescent moon at the top, and at the bottom in yellow text is "Authors of Dead & Breakfast" just above "Kat Hillis & Rosiee Thor") side by side with a collection of halloween vibe stickers and booksmarks and a progress flag hung above.

My biggest frustration with writing is that quite often, the SWOOP that takes a book from midlist to BIG DEAL is pure luck, and I personally can't do anything to make it happen. Publishing is not a meritocracy. It's skill + time + luck, and all you can do is be in position for possible liftoff.

A fun thing about writing tie-in media is if your publisher puts out other tie-ins you can say "You should give me an advance copy for free because of... marketing synergy." Then they send you @rosieethor.bsky.social's Out of Focus and you can pose little photos of both books for Work Reasons.
