Author has written 8 stories for Fable, Sci-Fi, General, General, Life, and Fantasy.

I'm a genre jumper and a bit of a formalist. Writing the same story or same style all the time would drive me insane. I consider myself a novelist, but I have some hope of getting paid for my novels. So I will probably save this page for shorter or supplemental works.

I have one published Non-Fiction title "Living Single on Minimum Wage" (a budgeting book for low income singles) and write a financial blog for low income singles called The Minimum Wager on livejournal, but my first love is fiction, which I publish under "Iscah" rather than "Kay Iscah" to separate it from my non-fiction.

Between a house fire back in Sept of 2019 and Covid, I've been focusing on family. But I have started writing again.

Seventh Night

My fantasy novel Seventh Night is now available to purchase in ebook, Large Type, and hardback editions through most bookstores. Though the hardback will soon be unavailable, replaced by a paperback option.

I'm writing a set of 4 backstories called "Before the Fairytale" that cover the youths of characters who meet as adults in the novel.

Seventh Night: Before the Fairytale serial recommended reading order:

The Girl With No Name (available in ebook and paperback)
Horse Feathers (available in ebook)
The Hidden Prince (edited, awaiting publication)
Seven and 13 (in progress)

These stories can be read independently, but they were planned as part of a 4-story set. The first two can be read safely before the novel Seventh Night, but the third contains major spoilers.

Other Stuff I Do:

Offline, I'm homeschooling my nephew, and technically a C.E.O. (I am the boss of me but no one else). I'm slowly working on my own educational system, and I love psychology. Sort of an all around nerd. I also design T-shirts for print on demand sites like cafepress and zazzle. Two of my best pals are far more talented artists than I, and I host some of their designs on my shops too...as well as some by Nate Connell, who drew the comics for "Living Single on Minimum Wage" (every budgeting book should have comics) and a couple other artists.

Review Swap Notes: I am on hiatus from review swaps. I welcome your feedback and invite you to nitpick to your heart's content, but I can't promise returns until I'm caught up with other things.
