New Covers for Candlewood Falls

October 14, 2023 No Comments

My books in the Candlewood Falls Shared World Series got a makeover. While I loved the original covers for the series (especially the ones with my daughter as the model), I felt the covers looked more like Women’s Fiction, I and wondered if that was hurting sales. I know we’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but it’s the first thing that catches a reader’s eye. They might not even go so far as to read the blurb if the cover doesn’t convey the right genre. So my cover designer and I decided to include a couple on the cover (Contemporary Romance) plus an object found in the stories: Sam’s “magic” apples in Wilde Temptation, Lacey and Dean’s retired military working dog in Wilde Christmas, Flowering trees at the wedding venue in Wilde in Love, Willow’s well (where Rick was looking for pirate booty and got stuck)

Can I Tempt You With Something New?

August 28, 2023 No Comments

The best thing about being a writer is meeting and chatting with readers. Every month in my newsletter, I poll the readers on different topics from what kind of covers they like best to their favorite cranberry sauce. I love getting the opportunity to chat with them when they reply to the newsletter. I don’t have an assistant, so I personally respond to EVERY single one! But it saddens me that we only get the chance to chat once a month, so I’ve created an exclusive K.M. Fawcett Readers Group in Facebook. Now we hang out and have fun whenever we want. Come join us! Don’t worry, our community isn’t only about me. The goal is to make this an engaging place to escape, relax, and have a great time chatting about whatever comes to mind: books, TV, movies, pets, hobbies, martial arts, and…well, you get the idea! I want

Wilde Treasures received 5 stars from LASR

January 31, 2023 No Comments

Long and Short Reviews gave Wilde Treasures a 5-star rating! Here is just a sampling of what the reviewer had to say: “I was the one who found the best treasure of all. I found a new series to escape into.” “Rick McKinnon, was love at first sight for me. He was sexy, smart and protective. He made me feel safe. The heroine, Willow Wilde, was spunky, smart and beautiful. When they were together, I could feel their chemistry sizzle off the pages.” “This was my first K.M. Fawcett story, and it won’t be my last. I loved how her writing style brought the book to life. Like, I said, I’m the one that found the real treasure.” Thank you LASR!

Wilde In Love is an award-winning book!

December 31, 2022 No Comments

WILDE IN LOVE won first place in the NJ Romance Writers’ Golden Leaf Contest in the Contemporary Romance: Short category (40-60,000 words). I am beyond thrilled—especially since my editor and a beta reader both informed me the story needed a major rewrite…two weeks before release day! Needless to say, I was upset. I didn’t want to disappoint you all with a problematic story, so I hunkered down and worked 18-23 hour days for those two weeks to rewrite the second half of the book. Thankfully, I made the release deadline by just a few hours with a much better story. Isn’t the award beautiful? And it has my name and the book title on it! I just can’t get over it. I am honored that WILDE IN LOVE received this distinguished award (my first writing award!). Thank you NJRW! And thank you readers for allowing me to share my adventures
