How can I get in touch? Can I tag you in reviews? Do you reply to email?
The absolute best way to stay up to date on news and new releases is to sign up for my newsletter HERE.
I am also semi-active on Instagram, but I do not respond to DMs from folks I don’t know. If you want to reach out to me directly, please email at kmarshallarts@gmail.com. I appreciate every message I get from readers. I try to respond when I can, but my schedule and very full inbox mean that some emails get lost to the seas of time and chaos.
I do not read or interact with reviews, good or bad. I don’t mind being tagged into positive reviews (I let myself have the little thrill of that notification, at least!), but I have a blanket policy of not liking/interacting, for my own mental health.
How can I get a signed copy of your book?
There is not currently a reliable source to find signed copies of my books, though Seattle-area bookstores may occasionally have a limited supply of signed stock. I am always happy to sign books at any event I attend.
Are your books appropriate for younger readers?
My adult thrillers are quite dark and tackle difficult and explicit themes, and are not intended for younger readers.
As for my young adult novels, that depends a lot on the individual reader. I know 8-year-old fans of I Am Still Alive and grandmothers who couldn’t get through it! In general, I Am Still Alive is appropriate for readers who can handle The Hunger Games. Rules for Vanishing, Our Last Echoes, and These Fleeting Shadows are horror, and considerably darker. Content warnings for these books are available so that readers can make informed decisions.
My middle grade books are of course geared toward pre-teen readers–but they are pretty spooky!
Can you help me with my homework assignment?
I am always thrilled when teachers and students use my books for class assignments, and I love hearing from student readers. I will always try to respond to email from my readers, but I can’t always do so right away, and so I urge teachers not to base any portion of a grade on my response.
I sometimes get messages from students asking for a detailed summary of my books or an analysis of the themes. I’m afraid in those cases, you’ll have to read the book yourself! However, I will be gradually updating this page to include some insight into the inspiration behind my books and other fun facts that may be useful.
Are you available for school visits/to talk to my book club?
I am currently not available for these sorts of events, though I hope to be in the future.
Are you available for endorsements/blurbs?
For all endorsement requests, please contact my agent, Lauren Spieller, at lspieller@foliolit.com. I love to provide endorsements and I try to say yes when I can, but due to a very full schedule I keep my reading queue limited and often end up unable to fit books into my schedule.
Note: I am currently closed to blurb requests until at least 9/1/2024.
Are there content warnings or trigger warnings for your books?
You can find content information for my MG & YA here.
