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.

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).

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...

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 wi...

In the first episode of the Perfect Podcast, we unmask L.A. Kessler! It's not a big secret that L.A.
