I've had a lot of questions about my book. One of the most popular questions happens to be about whether or not the book will be available in an e-book version. My answer to that is...
YES!
In fact, it is now officially available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites for download! So head on over and get your copy today!
In other news...
I'm in Florida now, but I won't be in Orlando until Sunday night. I move in to my apartment on the Disney property on Monday and then from there I begin my biggest adventure yet!
Stay tuned for the site of a NEW blog made specifically FOR Disney. Until then...

To Study or Not To Study...
Right, so it's been almost a month since I've posted and for that, I'm sorry. My randomness has ebbed slightly in recent weeks due to my lack of energy because of finals. The horror!
Here's the deal, though. I have some things I need to rant about.
The first is dealing with certain things in the house. There is a rule during finals week that quiet hours are 24/7, however there is a group that doesn't seem to give a rat's ass if they are disrespectful to their sisters. Their most recent crap is screaming in the halls and playing the piano loud (whilst singing at the same volume). The piano wouldn't be bad if we couldn't hear it all the way up on the third floor. There are also those idiots who blast music when they're getting ready in the bathroom. I can hear it in MY room with the door closed and I'm about as far from the bathrooms as I can get when you talk about the walls in between and all that. Rude. Very, very rude.
OK, so that's really all, but it's the worst. It goes on all year and the person whose job it is to take care of these problems (among others) doesn't seem to be enforcing the rules, which is getting on everyone's nerves, not just mine.
I'm really sorry about the negativity, but I needed it out there. Maybe it'll change, maybe not.
On the bright side, I have less than two hours until my final final! See what I did there? Clever, right? I know. I'm brilliant. I graduate on Saturday!!! Yay me! *clap clap clap clap clap* If anyone else got that reference, just know that you're awesome. Speaking of Disney (and yes it was a Disney reference), I have just 11 days until I begin my adventure in the most magical place on earth! YAY!
Exactly 1 month until The Rose Legends, Book One: Found is officially released!!! But, if you order now, it'll be there in a few weeks/days. I don't know how fast it's shipping, but it'll be there before the release date of June 11, almost guaranteed. Check out http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Rose-Legends/181205465232041 to Like it on Facebook and for the links to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other sites where you can order your copy!
If you're interested in a signed copy of my book, e-mail TheRoseLegends@gmail.com and I'll see what I can do!
As always, questions and comments are appreciated!

So much to do, so little time
Wow, it’s been way too long since I’ve even logged in! Haha. What’s been up with me? Well, I’ll tell ya!
Spring break was awesome. Disney World, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Epic. DW was amazing as always, though there was one thing that disappointed me besides their signage being extremely confusing. Beauty and the Beast at Hollywood Studios? Yeah, it was so not up to par with Disney standards. The woman playing Belle was older. Now, age doesn’t really matter to me, but when you’re casting a Disney princess, the audience shouldn’t be able to tell she’s in her upper 30’s or even lower 40’s. Either that or she just did not take care of her skin. Wrinkles, people. Sun block helps. Otherwise, Disney was awesome as expected.
Now, HP? O. M. G. So cool. The Forbidden Journey ride combined animatronics and an IMAX style enormous screen to bring you into the world of Harry Potter. It’s as close as you can get to the real thing without being a student at Hogwarts. There’s a short show at Olivander’s, and a total of 3 rides, 4 or 5 shops, 2 butterbeer carts, and a snack cart. Remember Dueling Dragons? All they did to make it the Dragon Challenge ride for HP was change the décor. They added “Support Cedric” signs and things of that nature. But the cars on the coaster were even the same! It’s not Disney. Oh and don’t buy a chocolate frog. $10 for a below-average tasting chocolate frog that doesn’t even hop? Not really worth it. Again, it’s not Disney. Not only would Disney make the frogs actually taste good (these tasted like the cheap chocolate you get for half-price because it’s not Nestle or Hershey’s), but they would make these things hop. Yeah, Disney could make them hop.
OK, enough ragging on Universal. HP really was cool and because it’s in Islands of Adventure, you’re paying for the whole park, which is still a fun time. HOWEVER… Do not be fooled by their cool lockers which require a fingerprint to access. Some cost money and some of those are for water rides. Stupid. Now, the ones in HP didn’t cost money and the ones outside the Hulk coaster didn’t either. However, the ones outside the Jurassic Park rides and the Dudley Do-Right ride DID cost money. Ridiculous, but they wouldn’t let you on the ride if you had your bags, but then if you didn’t want to pay, you simply couldn’t ride that ride. I said enough ragging. I lied.
Spring break really was fantabulous. Wow, that’s a word. Spell check didn’t fix that. Anyway, moving on. My book (as I mentioned previously) has since gone to print. Be sure to keep an eye out for The Rose Legends, Book One: Found by Kate Brown. Not due out for over a month, but there you go.
I don’t know if I mentioned, but I also got accepted to the Disney College Program. I’ll be working in Walt Disney World starting in May of this year. I’m SO stoked! 33 days until graduation; 42 days until I’m in Disney World; and only 10 actual class days left, not including finals. I’m almost there.
Remember, you can find The Rose Legends on Facebook or Twitter and there are links to the official website from Facebook. You can also use the site to find your way back here, to this blog.
Oh hey, one last thing. Hygiene. It’s a real problem, don’t ya think? Did you know that 1 in 3 people don’t wash their hands after using the restroom? If you’re thinking to yourself “Well, I use hand sanitizer, so that counts”, you’re wrong. Hand sanitizer may kill germs, but if you’ve got anything other than microscopic bacteria on those hands, it’s not doing a damn bit of good. WASH YOUR HANDS people! It’s disgusting not to and even if you use the hand sanitizer, when other people are in there and they don’t hear the water running, do you know what they’re thinking? Give ya a hint… “GROSS!”
That’s my tidbit for the day. This is Kate Brown, signing off. Remember, wash your hands and…

St. Patrick's Day Update
Happy Everyone-Is-Irish Day! Why do I say that? Well because everyone is 100% Irish today, no matter their heritage. Erin go bragh!
OK, so in honor of my late grandfather, Leo "Papatoe" Harkins, I would like to post a quick toast that he always made when visiting:
I drink to your health when we're together,
I drink to your health when I'm alone.
I've drunk to your health so goddamn often,
I've darn near ruined my own!
When I say 'always', I really mean it. I can't tell you how many times I hear Papatoe say that. The nickname is a long story, to be told at a later date probably. For now, just go with it.
As for the title of the post, yes, I have an update. I'm not doing the St. Patrick's Day feast that I mentioned earlier. Plans fell through. However, I did spend 6 hours at the car dealership today. Nothing wrong, just a routine checkup. Ick.
Oh and there's this little thing about my book. It's in the design stage. Cover picture being generated, etc. Just thought I'd keep you posted. See what I did there? Good, huh?
OK, so there wasn't much to say. I won't post next week (probably). I'll be in DISNEY WORLD!!! It's spring break. Oh, did I mention this little thing about getting accepted into the Disney College Program for the summer and fall of this year? Yeah. I start in May. SCORE!

Life is good.
Yeah, life is good. Why? I'll tell you.
First of all, as I mentioned earlier, Greek Sing is over so there's a little less stress on me. Second, I've applied for graduation so I don't have to worry about that. Third, I applied for the Disney internship and all I have to do now is wait. Fourth, as I said, I signed the contract. Fifth, SPRING BREAK IS LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY!!!
Oh, did I mentioned where I'm going for spring break? It's this little place (maybe you've heard of it) called Walt Disney World!!! I'm going with a couple of sorority sisters and it's gonna be a blast!
Right now I'm also planning a St. Patrick's Day Feast with friends. I hope to try out some new recipes and I'll post both the recipes and their pictures here in the next few days after that. If I had my own kitchen, this would be a blog used solely for food. So what am I going to do when I have a kitchen of my own? Well, let me think... COOK!!!!!! I love trying out new recipes.
I'll let you know what we decide to cook on St. Pat's and I may even post pictures of other things I've cooked in the past. For now, though, this is Kate Brown signing off! Remember...
