Just in time for lazy summer evenings and fun days at the water: the audiobook of Flipping Hearts and Homes is out now. The narration of Anastasia Watley is smooth and captivating, I almost listened to half the book when I just wanted to check out the first chapter 😅

“Promising?” Rowan snorted. “Any date would have been good. But you know how it is out here. Sometimes I think I’ve already dated all potentially interested women in a three-hour radius. And their exes" @chriszettauthor.bsky.social @ylva-publishing.bsky.social

“Can you help me navigate out of the lake? I feel a bit dizzy.” Maia slowly rose and took a deep breath. “No problem. I’ve got you.” Rowan scooped Maia up and held her in a bridal carry @chriszettauthor.bsky.social @ylva-publishing.bsky.social

Seven years ago, I married the love of my life- a woman. Eight years ago, this was still illegal in my country. Twenty-five years ago, I didn't even have a name for my sexual orientation as I didn't grow up with visible lesbian (or any other LGBTQ+ representation) around me. 1/2

#lesficfri - fingertip The excerpt is from my newest release and introduces Rowan, my butch handywoman main character. I wonder what she's doing? 😅 Flipping Hearts and Homes Mybook.to/FHH3

A quote from Flipping Hearts and Homes by Chris Zett: Carefully, Rowan slid her right hand deeper into the darkness.
Where's the spot? The wetness clinging to her fingertips told her she was searching in the right direction.
"Ah, here!" With a sigh of relief, she pressed a finger to the spot to mark the location. With her other hand, she grabbed blindly for the duct tape. This would finish quickly now.

NaNoWriMo is going well, I passed the 50% mark today. I'm sure it's all because of my wife's cookies and my new obsession - homemade ginger-lemon shots. This gorgeous background didn't help, I didn't want to drag my writing program over to the big monitor.

Scammers often forge Big 5 publisher docs as part of their effort to get writers to part with $$. Here's how scammer Impact Press Media (dba multiple other names) tried to get one writer to pay $4000. (Name on the invoice is the real name of sales rep posing as agent "Alex Weiss") #WriterBeware

Fake "Book Acquisition Letter" from Penguin Random House, offering a GUARANTEED contract deal w/ $200,000 advance...but writer much submit "Query Letter, Book Video Trailer, and Author's Based Website" in order to qualify. Note at bottom: "Impact Media Press is our partner. They will help you execute these requirements. Please call Alex Weiss...for the pricing to start this project ASAP."

Invoice from Jess Bryan Sotomayor Sayson--the real name of the sales rep posing as agent "Alex Weiss"--for "Book Acquisition Requirements": $4,000.
