L.A. Kessler is back with an update on an issue she brought to our attention over the summer involving Amazon and a TikTok challenge that was targeting authors.  She also talks about the new dates for Flawed and Tainted, the second and third books in the Genesis trilogy (which began with Perfect). And she runs down several projects she has in the works that will be out between now and when Flawed finally comes out next March (including the next book in the Salem Pack series and the final book in the Sentinels of Savannah series, along with her upcoming Kickstarter project and a semi-secret project she's working on for her Patreon members)!

Lisa Kessler talks to Arianna Norris, librarian at Cahokia District Library in Centreville, IL, about the trend where some are returning ebooks to Amazon after they've read them for a refund, only to turn around and buy another ebook, that they read and then return to buy another. They talk about how this directly impacts the authors, many of whom, like Lisa, started the month of June owing Amazon money because of this trend. They talk about getting ebooks from libraries, which can benefit the author and the library, while it doesn't cost the readers a cent. They also talk about how easy it is for anyone in America to get a digital library card, and start reading anything they want to read right away!

Not exactly a new episode, but we couldn't let Perfect's release day go by without something! Mostly in her own words, L.A. Kessler (AKA Lisa Kessler) explains everything you should know about Perfect and the Genesis trilogy. It's kind of like a highlight reel, followed by a blooper reel (some silliness that, for the most part, didn't make it into any of the previous episodes).

The important thing is that Perfect is now available everywhere ebooks are sold. Flawed, which is the second book in the trilogy, is now available for pre-order and will be out in September. And Tainted, the third and final book, is due in early 2023.

L.A. Kessler (aka Lisa Kessler) talks about Perfect and how her new series fits into the greater universe of her previous 40+ books, even though this one is a thriller and all her other novels have been paranormal romances. She also talks about the romance subplot of Perfect, and reads an excerpt to give everyone a better idea of how romance fits into this book. And while supernatural elements have been prominent in her other books, she tap dances around whether they will or won't be part of this new series. Plus, Lisa also briefly teases the second book in the Genesis Trilogy, Flawed. Perfect will be on on May 2, and Flawed is scheduled to be released on September 19. Both are available for pre-order right now!

First and most importantly, Stephen King does not appear in this episode. He doesn't know about this episode, and is in no way affiliated with this episode, L.A. Kessler, the Genesis series, Lisa Kessler or any of her other novels.

We call it the Stephen King Connection because, unlike Lisa's paranormal romance novels, Stephen King's works were the inspiration for Perfect, and without him, this book would probably not exist. Lisa talks about that, and how specific Stephen King horror novels inspired Perfect. She also reads a passage from the forthcoming thriller to further illustrate how those horror novels shaped this particular story.

Lisa Kessler (AKA L.A. Kessler) talks about the long road to publication for her upcoming thriller Perfect. She talks about the problems she had over ten years ago when starting this book, and how it didn't really fit in any particular genre. She also talks about how much creepier it is than her paranormal romance novels, and she reads a section of the book to show how much it's changed since its earliest days compared with how you'll find it when Perfect is released on May 2!

In the first episode of the Perfect Podcast, we unmask L.A. Kessler! It's not a big secret that L.A. Kessler is actually paranormal romance author Lisa Kessler, but she explains why she's using the pen name. Lisa also talks about the differences between the dozens of books she's written, and the Genesis Trilogy, which begins in a few weeks when the first book, "Perfect", is released. Lisa also reads an excerpt from the upcoming thriller as an example of how different this book is from all of her previous novels!

The Perfect Podcast is coming soon. This four-part limited-run podcast series will go behind the scenes of the upcoming new thriller “Perfect” by L.A. Kessler. The author will be here to explain her use of the pseudonym, how this new novel (the first in a trilogy) differs significantly from the dozens of other novels she’s already published, and why it’s taken her over ten years to get Perfect ready for you. Perfect is due out on May 2nd, and you can pre-order it now. The Perfect Podcast begins on April 4.
