Kat Bradbury | Mara Dane

Cozy fantasy & science fiction with a dash of screwball comedy.

Coming Soon

I’m currently working on two new novels! The Tourists Guide to Saving the Galaxy, and Sorcery & Stitches. Join my newsletter if you’d like to be notified when they’re available!

Paranormal Romance

Enjoy this paranormal rom-com with a mummy! Set in a small Midwestern college town, Viv is dealing with an adult diagnosis of ADHD, a family that doesn’t get her, and keeping her job at the local paper. The last thing she needs is to summon a sexy 3,000 year old immortal or learn she might be the “chosen one.” Will she break the mummy’s curse, or get her heart broken?

One-Shot Adventures

A group of adventurers wake up in a tropical jungle, with no memory of how they arrived and only spotty recollection of their recent past. When they flee from danger, they learn they are more lost than they realized. Can they survive long enough to find a way home?

This is a setting-agnostic, modern Cypher Short for fans of LOST, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, and classic pulp “jungle adventure” stories. Includes suggested types and 5 suggested encounters.

★★★★★

I really enjoyed this unique and entertaining read. A fun story that is a brilliant blend of fantasy and contemporary romance. A charming small town serves as the backdrop for Viv and Khen’s romance. I consider this book a real hidden gem. I’m excited to read more books in this series.
