FAQ

How do I pronounce your name?
Klar-ah Ráshkai.

What kind of books do you write?
Sometimes I may go outside of my comfort zone and write something different from what I’m used to, but from most of my books, you can expect a story set in a fictional world featuring varying amounts of mystery, horror, and hot romances between a female protagonist and a monster-like hero/anti-hero. Sometimes the romances will be the main plot and sometimes they will be the subplot(s). But even as subplots, their focus will be heavier than is usual for subplots.

Why wouldn’t I like your books?
You are definitely not going to like my books if you are easily offended and are uncomfortable with swearing, violence, gore, and explicit sexual content.
In addition, if you’re not a fan or romance, even as a subplot, you’re definitely not going to like my books.

Can I post, or send you fanart?
Absolutely! I adore fanart! Feel free to post it on social media (be sure to tag me so I can find it), or send it to me via email! I only ask that you do not include Vespir (my spirit guide and the main character from my book His Whispers) in any type of pornography, nor as part of a romantic pairing with anyone (other than myself if you really want to draw a pair). You can draw him nude, though. I do it all the time.
Although, please keep in mind that I only share/promote fanart on Twitter and that which is mostly in accordance with my own visions of what my characters look like. However, there are features that are more important to me than others and sometimes my degree of caring for said features varies from character to character. Don’t be scared to ask me if you’re unsure what I would approve of if me sharing your fanart is a huge factor.
You can check out my Twitter feed for references—I post most of my own art there. I hope I’ll be able to set up a gallery for my characters’ reference sheets here on my website in the future.

Do you have a Patreon account?
Yeah—and I offer lots of great rewards for those who make a pledge! You can learn more about them on my Patreon page!

How can I become your beta reader?
Please read my Beta Reading page for the rules and instructions.

I can’t find some of your books on Amazon. Where are they?
Every time I publish a new novel, you are able to get a bonus short ebook for a limited number of days after the novel is released. I post the link to the short ebook on social media. You just have to click on the link and type in the last word that comes before the back matter inside the novel as the password. After you do that, you’ll be able to download the short ebook.
Once the time is up, you will no longer be able to download the short ebook this way. But don’t worry—it will be available for download over on Patreon as a $1 tier reward in one month afterward.

Can you sign my print copies of your books?
Please don’t mail me your copies for me to sign. I don’t wanna have to pay for shipping to mail them back to you, nor take responsibility for your shipment in case something bad happens to it during transit. I can sign your book if you manage to bump into me at a public event, or you can try winning a signed paperback by entering a giveaway of mine.

Do you sell official merchandise?
I do! Check out my merch shop for shirts, phone skins, and more!

Do you have a street team I can join?
Yes! You can read more about it on my Street Team page!

I’m in a book club. Do you have reading guides for your books?
Absolutely! You can download them for free on my Reading Guides page.

What are you currently working on?
Check out my schedule to find the answer to that question. You’ll also see placeholder book covers, blurbs, draft stages, publication dates, and such. The dates, however, may be subject to change, but I will most likely be working on the books in the order they are listed in the To Do and In Progress columns.

In what order should I read your books?

SPANK: Odyssey (novel)
A Game of Flames (short ebook)
??? (short ebook)

Can I hire you as a ghostwriter?

Can you read my book and tell me if it’s good or not?
No. Sorry.

I have a specific question about your books/you/writing/publication/book marketing.
I try to reply to as many questions as I can either via email, or on social media. Twitter is where I’m most often at, so if you wanna ask me some questions, that’s your best bet. But if you make a pledge over on Patreon, you can get access to live monthly Q&A sessions with either me or my characters, and access to a special suggestion box in which you can post questions that I might choose to answer in-depth in one of my future podcast episodes.

What credentials do you have?
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Web & Mobile Computing, but I’ve learned about writing, editing, and book marketing through practice and online courses. I also sometimes still dabble in illustration.

When did you realize you wanted to be an author?
I was always going back and forth between writing and quitting writing. I tried doing a lot of other things, but every single time, I ended up coming back to it. So, in October 2017, I finally figured out writing was something I wanted to do and was meant to do.

Where do you get your inspiration?
By walking around or exercising on my cross-trainer while listening to music and imagining stuff.

Why are so few of your male leads just regular humans?
Because I saw an episode of Extreme Dinosaurs when I was a little girl and it all went downhill from there.

Why do your books have so much sexual content in them?
Because I like writing about it.

Why is there so much swearing in your books?
Because real people say “fuck” when they’re angry.
