Was excited DOUBLE TAKE SEDUCTION was selected for the #RSJcon2025 Cliffhanger audiobook narrator event last night. Sadly, my narrator got a coughing fit just as he started reading my excerpt and was cut off. 😥 I'm thinking about recording it myself for y'all. 🤔 Won't be the same, but could be fun.
Graphic with a peach and pink background and three book covers in different formats. One is the cover of the anthology, titled "TO L.A. WITH LOVE," in book format. The second is the anthology cover on a phone screen. The third is the cover for the short story "DOUBLE TAKE SEDUCTION" displayed on an e-reader. The text reads: "Available now. Charity anthology benefiting the Altadena and Pacific Palisades libraries. Contains 'Double Take Seduction' by Lisa Rayne."

Authors, stop paying "publishers" thousands of dollars to take your copyrights (and w/o any true written commitment to do anything in return). I recently reviewed another hybrid publishing contract and the terms were scarily bad. Luckily, the author came to me b4 they signed or handed over money $.

Left my house yesterday morning early-ish and extensively engaged with people at four different locations. Ended the day with an awesome dinner out with friends. I may not leave my house and people in person again for another five days. Whew! *insert fall-out emoji (is there such a thing?)*
