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.

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?)*

I was going to create a starter pack for Bookish influencers who are very indie friendly, but the list was so small that I got discouraged. Tag the folks below who you see championing indie authors regularly, so I can make a starter pack that doesn’t hurt my feelings.

I want them all. But I shouldn't... Should I? 🤔 #Wicked #Starbucks #WickedMovie #AuthorSky #BlackSky #WritingCommunity #bvm

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

I'm a rereader because, yeah, all of this. 👇🏾 #BookSky #BlackBookSky #Romancelandia

Did I mention this one comes in audiobook? It's my first and I initially was scared to listen to the whole book. But readers and friends encouraged me to do so. So glad I did. You will be too. This narrator's storytelling is fire! 🔥 #BlackSky #BlackBookSky #BookSky #HistoricalRomance #AudiobookRec

Thought I'd add a little historical romance vibe to the #BlackMenOnCovers feed. #BlackBookSky #Romancelandia #AmWriting #ReadKC #HistoralRomanceRec
