Eartha’s brother Balen has been in love with Princess Galiene since they were children. Upon the death of the High King, the tribesmen of the realm vie for the throne, and with it, the hand of the princess.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #0f1111;&quot;&gt;Balen is desperate to win his lady, but a rival tribesman is equally determined to keep them apart.

He was handsome, rich, athletic, and had always been popular with the ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up with his beautiful but shy lab partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself to fall in love. As the chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that his player days have come to end. But it seems his change of heart has come too late. Not only is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has four vindictive ex-girlfriends who are on a rampage. At first he doesn&#39;t take their threats seriously, but then his tires are slashed, someone tries to poison him, and one of the girls turns up dead. Josh doesn&#39;t know who to trust, but one thing is certain. It definitely isn&#39;t worth the price he&#39;s paying to be a player&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Audible Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #1e344d; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-end=&quot;3291&quot; data-start=&quot;3158&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmMnhC56On_n4WDQgVrEvJ0b-P8oABAAmKWHDzWNTS-A-8vUCNWscTJpmoE50c3Se5-29TXj-82oHcsAGp9PLjKJurcrWbzPRb8gtRfluYYbGp8nh0IpQvTWn68jmHPmJ_mFjLjOK4yc2FxkJliY6pEVFI3QdqgIzN77s_53tDTFFCYpY8XsTfCl9D-rQv/s1536/PlayerAudio.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1024&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1536&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmMnhC56On_n4WDQgVrEvJ0b-P8oABAAmKWHDzWNTS-A-8vUCNWscTJpmoE50c3Se5-29TXj-82oHcsAGp9PLjKJurcrWbzPRb8gtRfluYYbGp8nh0IpQvTWn68jmHPmJ_mFjLjOK4yc2FxkJliY6pEVFI3QdqgIzN77s_53tDTFFCYpY8XsTfCl9D-rQv/w400-h266/PlayerAudio.png&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;👉 Listen now on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3Oz010f&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.audible.com/pd/Player-Audiobook/B0GXGQ27WS&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Audible&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://authorlauradeluca.blogspot.com/2026/04/player-ebook-is-free-to-celebrate.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (GabbyLowe)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhckgLWnpSYzPaSt4NmxdTn8GTBemfECnBuOuKayQLE9HD5vHUI8IK6MtWcvZDuZGGe0VYbrWzl5DpX51h4EVHYzITRloQqOxCwQzh9TblFZBs1ZuwkwyVfKwGoApOtkFR8b_hoo003SPqcUv4vO2ZwWUqk3lDyq127L9irCKxoyz_JlRddbwBXOhi5nutm/s72-w278-h400-c/Player1_2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464098507533529491.post-6399249158966150869</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 Apr 2026 01:20:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-04-21T18:20:01.493-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">books</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Laura DeLuca</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">My Books</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Mystery</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Player</category><title>🎧 From High School Notebook to Audiobook: The Journey of Player</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQJog5-DxnCd8mtDrobeKt4B74ogOe7nDVK_e8Bzcdd9owIHWQ6odfCzQzWQTooyUp1dEgJd7-Z95X0DSdX3VtAOGqTfdyNuuhEybRPOYerIhe26YhbseTcln0ritB0C2eVo8d2NhkskzeB7K4bPVprVmWEWyeJVd3PzDeCHUqfuO1oX5EHrPFrgUU1Y0q/s4323/Player1_2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;4323&quot; data-original-width=&quot;3000&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQJog5-DxnCd8mtDrobeKt4B74ogOe7nDVK_e8Bzcdd9owIHWQ6odfCzQzWQTooyUp1dEgJd7-Z95X0DSdX3VtAOGqTfdyNuuhEybRPOYerIhe26YhbseTcln0ritB0C2eVo8d2NhkskzeB7K4bPVprVmWEWyeJVd3PzDeCHUqfuO1oX5EHrPFrgUU1Y0q/w278-h400/Player1_2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;278&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This story has been with me for a &lt;em data-end=&quot;387&quot; data-start=&quot;381&quot;&gt;long&lt;/em&gt; time. I first wrote Player in 1994&amp;nbsp; when I was a senior in high school. Back then, &lt;em data-end=&quot;492&quot; data-start=&quot;484&quot;&gt;Player&lt;/em&gt; started as a story inspired by real life, specifically, my friend George. At the time, he was my boyfriend and he’s still one of my best friends. Some things never change though. He’s also still a little bit of a player, though these days be prefers juggling men. 😄 Check out our prom pic from 1993.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHdU0UMLJ41RQ7B1F9_SHIdPka4p65UQtiSQFEnRCSOpSNUcuy3tGepyMB5eF7RTqByP0cPJWZrsEzlfclxndzO9sWcVMqhz6v65JmBOzy1ZtnLIXy_D2venSjC61UUSVjmZv8UD2ffxG1xnHHmRtI8pmLRNk4kS3cPtwzMCIhqaIqhT6zhRLxtqGJE4le/s949/Screenshot%202026-04-21%20204226.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;949&quot; data-original-width=&quot;683&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHdU0UMLJ41RQ7B1F9_SHIdPka4p65UQtiSQFEnRCSOpSNUcuy3tGepyMB5eF7RTqByP0cPJWZrsEzlfclxndzO9sWcVMqhz6v65JmBOzy1ZtnLIXy_D2venSjC61UUSVjmZv8UD2ffxG1xnHHmRtI8pmLRNk4kS3cPtwzMCIhqaIqhT6zhRLxtqGJE4le/w288-h400/Screenshot%202026-04-21%20204226.png&quot; width=&quot;288&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;1204&quot; data-start=&quot;787&quot;&gt;Like most of my writing, &lt;em data-end=&quot;826&quot; data-start=&quot;818&quot;&gt;Player&lt;/em&gt; pulled from the world around me. A lot of the characters were inspired by classmates and memories from those years.&amp;nbsp; I created the detective character the same day I had my senior portraits taken, and ended up giving him the last name of the guy standing in line in front of me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-end=&quot;1204&quot; data-start=&quot;787&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 data-end=&quot;1278&quot; data-section-id=&quot;bkvtny&quot; data-start=&quot;1211&quot;&gt;📚 The Publishing Journey&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;1337&quot; data-start=&quot;1280&quot;&gt;&lt;em data-end=&quot;1288&quot; data-start=&quot;1280&quot;&gt;Player&lt;/em&gt; almost hit bookshelves much earlier than it did. In 1997, I had an agent. Contracts were signed. The book was about a month away from going to print, and then the publisher went bankrupt. The book got tangled up in legal issues for years, and it was discouraging. I did keep writing, but my biggest struggle back then was finishing anything. I had &lt;em data-end=&quot;1695&quot; data-start=&quot;1686&quot;&gt;so many&lt;/em&gt; ideas, probably 20 different books started, but none of them made it all the way to the end. Thankfully, that’s something I’ve learned to change. These days, I don’t start a book unless I know the beginning &lt;em data-end=&quot;1912&quot; data-start=&quot;1907&quot;&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; the ending.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 data-end=&quot;2006&quot; data-section-id=&quot;gcaa9r&quot; data-start=&quot;1960&quot;&gt;&lt;span role=&quot;text&quot;&gt;✍️ Bringing &lt;em data-end=&quot;1984&quot; data-start=&quot;1976&quot;&gt;Player&lt;/em&gt; Into the Modern World&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;2070&quot; data-start=&quot;2008&quot;&gt;Fast forward a bit,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em data-end=&quot;2036&quot; data-start=&quot;2027&quot;&gt;Destiny&lt;/em&gt; became my first published book. Then, while I was pregnant with my youngest&amp;nbsp; son Nicky, I hit a bit of a creative wall thanks to pregnancy brain fog. Instead of forcing new ideas, I decided to go back to &lt;em data-end=&quot;2235&quot; data-start=&quot;2227&quot;&gt;Player&lt;/em&gt; and give it new life. That meant pulling it out of the ‘90s and giving it a serious update. I swapped out corded phones for cell phones, changed some lingo, and added in computers and digital cameras. I also had to retype everything since it was original written on a Brother Word Processor. But at its core, the story didn’t change. It’s still about a guy juggling four girlfriends. He gets caught, and when one of them ends up dead, everything spirals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-end=&quot;2844&quot; data-start=&quot;2690&quot;&gt;When &lt;em data-end=&quot;2703&quot; data-start=&quot;2695&quot;&gt;Player&lt;/em&gt; was finally published in 2012, it was through Free Focus Publishing, my cousin Andrew DiPalma was the cover model. Later, when that publisher went out of business, I made the decision to go independent. The current cover was created by my incredibly talented editor, Anne Hoelz, and it gave the book a fresh new look. Which brings us to today!&amp;nbsp;&lt;em data-end=&quot;3116&quot; data-start=&quot;3108&quot;&gt;Player&lt;/em&gt;’s newest chapter is audiobook form. The best part is that the narrator Jeremy, sounds &lt;em data-end=&quot;3253&quot; data-start=&quot;3232&quot;&gt;so much like George&lt;/em&gt;. Out of all the twists this story has taken over the years, that might be my favorite.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-end=&quot;3052&quot; data-start=&quot;2846&quot;&gt;This book has had a long, winding journey, from a high school idea to a near-miss publication, to a revival, to self-publishing, and now to audio. I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you in this new way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-end=&quot;3052&quot; data-start=&quot;2846&quot;&gt;🎧 You can listen now on &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4vKaEOv&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.audible.com/pd/Player-Audiobook/B0GXGQ27WS&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Audible&lt;/a&gt;: If you check it out, I’d love to hear what you think, especially now that it’s come full circle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://authorlauradeluca.blogspot.com/2026/04/from-high-school-notebook-to-audiobook.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (GabbyLowe)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQJog5-DxnCd8mtDrobeKt4B74ogOe7nDVK_e8Bzcdd9owIHWQ6odfCzQzWQTooyUp1dEgJd7-Z95X0DSdX3VtAOGqTfdyNuuhEybRPOYerIhe26YhbseTcln0ritB0C2eVo8d2NhkskzeB7K4bPVprVmWEWyeJVd3PzDeCHUqfuO1oX5EHrPFrgUU1Y0q/s72-w278-h400-c/Player1_2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464098507533529491.post-4562888098274344969</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Apr 2026 01:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-04-19T18:53:08.160-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Broadway</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Dark Musicals Trilogy</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Doctor Hong</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">My Books</category><title>When Real Life Meets the Dark Musicals — Featuring Doctor Hong</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnTxNZnaoEJBQa-4SWuQ0IgNJHZtMn0GHDMsFOuCMIpjWpzL2Dyy5WOJAt-lMGBGLfs5-qJfgwVz0mGwLIvdLlPbwln7IwwGz7Iy5jjfbtzYxBGVCTfvCRmsb32ECjcUJFA_4_K8LZJvR4VIFPOcmQZSPv93Tw3Hir5rMG0JNDJxqHU1pQQh55zL_GoW4K/s3300/Sectarian2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;3300&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2200&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnTxNZnaoEJBQa-4SWuQ0IgNJHZtMn0GHDMsFOuCMIpjWpzL2Dyy5WOJAt-lMGBGLfs5-qJfgwVz0mGwLIvdLlPbwln7IwwGz7Iy5jjfbtzYxBGVCTfvCRmsb32ECjcUJFA_4_K8LZJvR4VIFPOcmQZSPv93Tw3Hir5rMG0JNDJxqHU1pQQh55zL_GoW4K/w266-h400/Sectarian2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;266&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Every now and then, real life hands me a moment that feels like it stepped straight out of one of my own books.

He was handsome, rich, athletic, and had always been popular with the ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up with his beautiful but shy lab partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself to fall in love. As the chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that his player days have come to end. But it seems his change of heart has come too late. Not only is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has four vindictive ex-girlfriends who are on a rampage. At first he doesn&#39;t take their threats seriously, but then his tires are slashed, someone tries to poison him, and one of the girls turns up dead. Josh doesn&#39;t know who to trust, but one thing is certain. It definitely isn&#39;t worth the price he&#39;s paying to be a player&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #1e344d; font-family: &amp;quot;Audible Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-end=&quot;3291&quot; data-start=&quot;3158&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://authorlauradeluca.blogspot.com/2026/04/player-is-available-in-audio-book-format.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (GabbyLowe)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwcFqh0Lsj3wq7qS0hYBgxKuvIsoa_ZTwG1gpeTp92rfj3Hp-cz7thwzws996H2GKdveF83UEEtewuftFCcWJT_1BQ-zgCbkpu3WYd6xFCrD4cHY5U4OxzhprR4HwRwtWWqMj1Bb-zUTGgBBRbHFNrNI4INEm_YtgZ_A-kt6t9AS-FBxIC9pVLR083ckfz/s72-w400-h266-c/PlayerAudio.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464098507533529491.post-374653307997015859</guid><pubDate>Sat, 18 Apr 2026 00:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-04-17T17:08:11.798-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">books</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Dark Musicals Trilogy</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">My  Books</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Mystery</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Phantom</category><title>🎭 Meet Micaela Harper — The New Voice of the Dark Musicals Series</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFYLd2LkdgbCF1oGjkFL0yOafxJZ3RCgDnECbzStGXO-4ZL9pq8OjlngdBMxIX29Dqhf8I9KDbIHtCWct3dyuLOnQh8BX89iKwkyB4k4JNJiBx72sLzuLUTyKLGHS6EWRSVhyhyphenhyphen7kPiSpfqh19YOPa1iCFM2LVBm852jTzCtDfFZSNvIoUsxwL5xdVQuor/s2687/Phantom-L.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;2687&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1791&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFYLd2LkdgbCF1oGjkFL0yOafxJZ3RCgDnECbzStGXO-4ZL9pq8OjlngdBMxIX29Dqhf8I9KDbIHtCWct3dyuLOnQh8BX89iKwkyB4k4JNJiBx72sLzuLUTyKLGHS6EWRSVhyhyphenhyphen7kPiSpfqh19YOPa1iCFM2LVBm852jTzCtDfFZSNvIoUsxwL5xdVQuor/w266-h400/Phantom-L.jpg&quot; width=&quot;266&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Meet &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Micaela Harper&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;, the brand‑new narrator for my &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Dark Musicals&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt; series. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Right now, she’s deep into &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Phantom (Book 1), &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;and she’s not just narrating it.

I write original “lyrics” into the books that echo the spirit of the songs that inspired them, but of course we can’t use copyrighted music in the audio. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Micaela solved that problem&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;She took my original lyrics and composed&lt;b&gt; her own unique music&lt;/b&gt;, creating a sound that captures the heart of the series without violating any copyrights. It’s fresh, emotional, atmospheric, and perfect for the &lt;em&gt;Dark Musicals. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Her performance captures the drama, the romance, the tension, and the theatricality. As a real musical theater performer, she understands the tone of the series.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;🎬 A Journey Begins&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;This collaboration is going to be an incredible ride, and I can’t wait for you to hear what she’s creating. If you want a taste of her talent, check out her YouTube video below where she sings&lt;i&gt; If Somebody Love Me &lt;/i&gt;from &lt;i&gt;Toy Story&lt;/i&gt;.

People either bullied or avoided her, sensing she was different. She does her best to keep her abilities hidden: the power to move objects with her mind, control fire, and glimpse the future. Believing her dreams of mystical creatures and castles are her imagination, it isn’t until Filtiarn appears, the dark knight of her fantasies and the man tasked with guiding her to the magical land of Tír na NÓg, that she realizes her true identity. Once reunited with her mother and grandmother, will their triad be able to save the forgotten land of magic from being devoured by an ancient evil?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/49AfVfS&quot;&gt;Available exclusively on Amazon.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://authorlauradeluca.blogspot.com/2026/04/morrigan-is-free-on-amazon.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (GabbyLowe)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg7SZAWsW2IDPDikGKl-fnK04a3pXbcLvF3hiaLf928v442TPIkfUPbFkc2bbasGG0T17ITXpt1RvlCz0vNo6qppam5_ukBIlGdtD60Ua6el_k2cQX1kdffOcjDJCQ-nIvRkqyOa7dmkw2K3JqCAl492UwjkmJuFWEAel07whcGZ9OUa9dwAT7Sb9hPug=s72-w266-h400-c" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464098507533529491.post-164075096298007638</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 04:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-04-07T21:00:00.127-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">books</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ghosts</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Laura DeLuca</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">short films</category><title>Jessica is FREE on Amazon</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjA2HONGzyKm7BIouFdKNTm-q1Bx4OmBqF939gDsR58V6jpLtbU6t3BKvZJyD4T5iBJqmU3dEs5ZrkIrNtATe_OId-wX8whJHfR8h02IZCk9ARQvaHLPVBBh21okCVHAWn27B3B9Zo5V3h9N2bdDgGQqXhLJGD91VoCcjmGHV2b3pTyirdiv5jhcN_2cw=s3300&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;3300&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2200&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjA2HONGzyKm7BIouFdKNTm-q1Bx4OmBqF939gDsR58V6jpLtbU6t3BKvZJyD4T5iBJqmU3dEs5ZrkIrNtATe_OId-wX8whJHfR8h02IZCk9ARQvaHLPVBBh21okCVHAWn27B3B9Zo5V3h9N2bdDgGQqXhLJGD91VoCcjmGHV2b3pTyirdiv5jhcN_2cw=w266-h400&quot; width=&quot;266&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #0f1111;&quot;&gt;Wilbur was used to attending his college formals alone.

Gia was about to blow the whistle on their secrets, and in a prison where suspension isn’t just a disciplinary measure, she ended up hanging in the most literal sense. By the time Jason and Hashim found her, the hook marks carved into her back made it clear Gia didn’t die for breaking the rules.

He’s so green you could plant him, but don’t let the soft cheeks fool you.  He’s in the perfect position to monitor movement, shuffle paperwork, and redirect suspicion.

After losing his hospital position, he took the job at the&amp;nbsp;the prison infirmary where the ethics are flexible. He knows exactly how much sedative keeps someone docile. and low long a body can hover between consciousness and catastrophe.

When she’s not navigating prison politics, dodging shanks, and trying not to smirk her way straight into solitary, the crew still finds a way to clock out at the Bullshot Saloon for a little liquid therapy. Naturally, the karaoke playlist got bigger, louder, and just a little more criminal. Some tracks echo through cell blocks, some shake the Bullshot stage, and a few are rewritten to poke at Jason’s perpetual scowl . So grab your orange jumpsuit and your favorite mic. This soundtrack captures every undercover scheme, every secret, and every off key confession along the way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can&#39;t Touch This - MC Hammer&lt;/b&gt; -Vashaan dusts off his Gen X swagger and claims the mic.&amp;nbsp;With a point at the dommes and a slow head shake, he makes it crystal clear that under his watch, no one touches the doms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Henry the VIII, I Am - Herman&#39;s Hermits &lt;/b&gt;- The moment the crew discovers Jason’s full legal name is Egbert Jason Dee VI, the Bullshot transforms into a Tudor court of mockery at the detective&#39;s expense.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Purple People Eater- Sheb Wooley&lt;/b&gt;- Emily, Daphne, and Granger, armed with unicorn horns, bring the house down with this fifties classic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Help Me Rhonda- The Beach Boys &lt;/b&gt;- When Jason and Hashim want to get Rhonda to go undercover to help the women being abused at Bayside, they cue this up and sing it like a desperate campaign jingle. It&#39;s Hashim&#39;s idea, but Jason is unwillingly dragged along.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Criminal - Fiona Apple &lt;/b&gt;- Once Rhonda realizes the harm going down at Bayside, she can&#39;t say no, and embraces her new undercover role with this cover.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mony Mony - Billy Idol&lt;/b&gt; - Outside the Dungeon, a sub hums along absentmindedly, and Hashim, unable to resist a catchy hook, joins in.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anxiety - Doechii &lt;/b&gt;- In gen pop at Bayside, the showers echo with this track, and Rhonda’s bravado slips just long enough to remind her what’s at stake.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;I Wanne Be Your Dog - The Stooges&lt;/b&gt; - After Jason witnesses a leash scene, Benji seizes the opportunity and belts this out at karaoke.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqmfgEThsy9TCOp2BEkOyb4tPwgqTnBCQQfLg11uTnHwjXnM6Db3ZoFd3JCkZMoA05tgAeuVNyWE10VXpsXGhHIZU5NzyEea1b939O7XMjDu3lNRbk7WN7xqJTqRjC5x5vC4vJXeLPBcer5KauNVYiFU6MUNRCE0sQr3y_rlz1RGfPFZcmeWWgrUknfboi/s1536/JasonandRhondaBullshot.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1536&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1024&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqmfgEThsy9TCOp2BEkOyb4tPwgqTnBCQQfLg11uTnHwjXnM6Db3ZoFd3JCkZMoA05tgAeuVNyWE10VXpsXGhHIZU5NzyEea1b939O7XMjDu3lNRbk7WN7xqJTqRjC5x5vC4vJXeLPBcer5KauNVYiFU6MUNRCE0sQr3y_rlz1RGfPFZcmeWWgrUknfboi/w266-h400/JasonandRhondaBullshot.png&quot; width=&quot;266&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Black Coffee In Bed - Squeeze &lt;/b&gt;- Mona makes her Bullshot karaoke debut with this breezy tune, and the entire bar is as enthralled as when she teaches a bondage workshop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Big Balls AC/DC &lt;/b&gt;-&amp;nbsp;Granger and Benji form a temporary alliance solely to declare that Jason has mega phallophobia. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;HUMBLE - Kendrick Lamar &lt;/b&gt;- After Granger voluntells to dress Jason for his undercover pimp visit, the dommes send him off with this blasting like a walkout anthem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Caged Bird - Alicia Keys&lt;/b&gt; -When a prisoner succumbs to an overdose, an inmate sings this in a moment of shared grief. It’s quiet, haunting, and a reminder that not every story inside Bayside ends with a punchline.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Prison Sex - TOOL&lt;/b&gt; -When the cops finally uncover what’s really happening at Bayside, this becomes the unspoken soundtrack.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Monster Mash - The Crypt-Kicker&lt;/b&gt;s -Halloween at the Bullshot erupts in campy glory as Hashim and Ilana stomp around as Frankenstein and his bride.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Walk Like an Egyptian &lt;/b&gt;- Daphne and Katrina glide in as Cleopatra and a pharaoh, striking poses with exaggerated regal flair as they sing this retro number.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Love Interruption - Jack Whit&lt;/b&gt;e - At Rhonda’s request, Jason learns this on acoustic. Their duet is charged, but they swear it’s proof they won’t let love derail them.

This year, with &lt;em data-end=&quot;477&quot; data-start=&quot;459&quot;&gt;Blow the Whistle&lt;/em&gt; about to breach containment, we’re doing a relationship lineup. While Rhonda’s going undercover in prison, the rest of the cast is out here committing crimes of passion, reckless devotion, and aggravated smoldering. So step up to the glass, pick up the visitation phone, and meet the couples of &lt;em data-end=&quot;794&quot; data-start=&quot;783&quot;&gt;Domme Mom&lt;/em&gt; — the legally bonded, the emotionally detained, the poly-confined, and the two who insist they are absolutely not romantically incarcerated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOR7FGAullq4G89he-UGEEn1nFWGwjw2e39_tMFriwbcotEzeLNl1qCEbeMVw0X4pU8lxcIiBz4qsehcgfSiFKyq1z6JRjnX53W7pm-vrTnj5DzBDnTjDGFl5BnA5gT01-f0un3TE9drJr0ALG6FkcPyHXrARDxg6HpiOuZoRWyvErZ1bagt5axI43N3VN/s1536/HashimandIlana.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1536&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1024&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOR7FGAullq4G89he-UGEEn1nFWGwjw2e39_tMFriwbcotEzeLNl1qCEbeMVw0X4pU8lxcIiBz4qsehcgfSiFKyq1z6JRjnX53W7pm-vrTnj5DzBDnTjDGFl5BnA5gT01-f0un3TE9drJr0ALG6FkcPyHXrARDxg6HpiOuZoRWyvErZ1bagt5axI43N3VN/w266-h400/HashimandIlana.png&quot; width=&quot;266&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Detective Hashim Waqar and Ilana Waqar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-end=&quot;1085&quot; data-start=&quot;972&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-end=&quot;984&quot; data-start=&quot;972&quot;&gt;Charges:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br data-end=&quot;987&quot; data-start=&quot;984&quot; /&gt;

She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play that was her obsession. When her high school drama club chooses &quot;Phantom&quot; as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker who uses the lines from the play as their calling card. Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like her character, she is torn between her two co-stars-Tom the surfer and basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured artist. Almost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen both on and off the stage. Curtains fall. Mirrors are shattered. People are hurt in true phantom style. They all seem like accidents until Rebecca receives notes and phone calls that hint at something more sinister. Is Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or in real life are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca doesn&#39;t know who to trust, but she knows she&#39;s running out of time as she gets closer and closer to opening night. Only when the mask is stripped away, will the twenty-first century phantom finally be revealed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Women’s Correctional Facility, justice isn’t just blind. It’s bound, gagged,
and begging for mercy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Rhonda
Campbell thought she flogged her last case with the Atlantic City Police, but
when an inmate turns up dead with telltale suspension marks on her back, the
cops come calling again. With the murder pointing to kink, coverups, and dirty
power plays, Rhonda agrees to go undercover behind bars, where the guards are
shady, the gangs are mean, and the jumpsuits are definitely not her color.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Meanwhile,
Detective Jason Dee’s been reassigned from homicide to handling crop-wielding dominas
and wayward subs. While Rhonda plays prisoner, he and his partner are stuck
guarding the Dungeon. His feelings for Mistress Kali are as complex as her
contract negotiations and just as dangerous, but when the prison gig needs a
visitor with street cred, Jason’s all in, even if playing her pimp means
risking more than just his dignity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;With lives
on the line and secrets tightening like a velvet cuff, Rhonda and Jason need to
blow the whistle on this prison scandal before another girl ends up permanently
suspended.&lt;i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

smothered with a French tickler. Talk about a safe word fail.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;Enter newly relocated Detective
Jason Dee, fresh off the gritty streets of Philly and itching for a real

cocktails. When he finally lands a murder investigation, his prime suspect is a
whip-smart, leather-clad domme who’s as infuriating as she is intriguing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;With a killer on the loose and

&lt;strong data-end=&quot;415&quot; data-start=&quot;354&quot;&gt;Tickled to Death is officially available as an audiobook!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;695&quot; data-start=&quot;419&quot;&gt;This is my very first audio book, and I had the absolute pleasure (and yes, I mean pleasure 😏) of teaming up with &lt;strong data-end=&quot;592&quot; data-start=&quot;558&quot;&gt;Maggie from Refashioned Hippie&lt;/strong&gt;, who knocked this narration so far out of the park she may as well have paddled it with a riding crop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;901&quot; data-start=&quot;697&quot;&gt;I knew she was talented. I knew she was funny, but I was &lt;strong data-end=&quot;763&quot; data-start=&quot;756&quot;&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt; prepared for how completely she would embody every voice, mood, kink, disaster, meltdown, sarcastic quip, and dramatic gasp in this book. The dommes were flawless. The subs were adorably pathetic. I was cackling while listening, and I WROTE THE DAMN BOOK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;1324&quot; data-start=&quot;1124&quot;&gt;If you&#39;ve ever wondered what it sounds like inside the world of D.O.M.M.E, LLC, then this audiobook is your ticket backstage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-end=&quot;1519&quot; data-start=&quot;1479&quot;&gt;💀💋 What’s &lt;em data-end=&quot;1512&quot; data-start=&quot;1494&quot;&gt;Tickled to Death&lt;/em&gt; About?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p data-end=&quot;1472&quot; data-start=&quot;1326&quot;&gt;

&lt;p data-end=&quot;1730&quot; data-start=&quot;1668&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-end=&quot;1728&quot; data-start=&quot;1668&quot;&gt;Crime was yesterday’s kink… until it came crawling back.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;2061&quot; data-start=&quot;1737&quot;&gt;Former paralegal Rhonda Campbell left the law behind when she swapped legal pads for latex. Now, as Mistress Kali, she runs the most exclusive BDSM dungeon in Atlantic City, where pleasure pays the bills and fantasy is always in play—until a longtime client is smothered with a French tickler. Talk about a safe word fail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;2401&quot; data-start=&quot;2068&quot;&gt;Enter newly relocated Detective Jason Dee, fresh off the gritty streets of Philly and itching for a real case—because so far, New Jersey’s biggest offense seems to be overpriced cocktails. When he finally lands a murder investigation, his prime suspect is a whip-smart, leather-clad domme who’s as infuriating as she is intriguing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;2582&quot; data-start=&quot;2408&quot;&gt;With a killer on the loose and tensions rising, Rhonda and Jason must combine their expertise in sex and homicide to crack the case—before another victim is tickled to death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p data-end=&quot;1472&quot; data-start=&quot;1326&quot;&gt;This audiobook is a perfect way to celebrate the series, discover it for the first time, or revisit it in a brand-new way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-end=&quot;1472&quot; data-start=&quot;1326&quot;&gt;Grab your copy of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.audible.com/pd/B0G21SHGNJ/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-480246&amp;amp;ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_480246_rh_us&quot;&gt;Audible&lt;/a&gt; or on &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4pwfifh&quot;&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-end=&quot;1472&quot; data-start=&quot;1326&quot;&gt;Pop in your earbuds, dim the lights, and let Maggie take you straight to the dungeon.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://authorlauradeluca.blogspot.com/2025/11/tickled-to-death-now-in-audio-narrated.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (GabbyLowe)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRvfFQ87ZDVZRZiDJacTvwaCfvSzJoxVLZzq8NnTGwiER1CFphViu9Zs6yf5OaNbwH3bxlWjeJqDsthXeiAONc77Y-d7SfI2GaLpRA1-nQ5By3BqC5z18urHznxd4C3lT8f4caeJkZg_1xvQL2QqLyQ6XCOIWhk6uoKG98jTE2VRjgSZRhXJAp3UM7rMI/s72-w400-h400-c/tickled%20to%20death%20teaser%202frechtickler.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464098507533529491.post-3200819783182343523</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Oct 2025 21:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-10-29T14:17:12.079-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">books</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Dark Musicals Trilogy</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Laura DeLuca</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">My Books</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Mystery</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Tainted</category><title>Forgotten is FREE to Celebrate the Release of Tainted!</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQf4aNGMNi1u8YIglDsm46nybvbi5VSF5xJWx66sc6WCaIq7_76379KXFD8W7h7YZ_IUvy7VjnoVCvjRSfQiQinKR1LsSWXgWydnz4ur8mUtSNsClOicl9FzCtgCZ2wuaysB7VaGkNX2gktC4gVmRc38U_x4rTe-WHQ3NhHIV0ROb8jv0pjM2mPDOBqx4q/s3300/Tainted_1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;3300&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2200&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQf4aNGMNi1u8YIglDsm46nybvbi5VSF5xJWx66sc6WCaIq7_76379KXFD8W7h7YZ_IUvy7VjnoVCvjRSfQiQinKR1LsSWXgWydnz4ur8mUtSNsClOicl9FzCtgCZ2wuaysB7VaGkNX2gktC4gVmRc38U_x4rTe-WHQ3NhHIV0ROb8jv0pjM2mPDOBqx4q/w266-h400/Tainted_1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;266&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Rebecca Hope-Patko and her husband Lord Justyn are reuniting

She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play that was her obsession. When her high school drama club chooses &quot;Phantom&quot; as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker who uses the lines from the play as their calling card. Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like her character, she is torn between her two co-stars-Tom the surfer and basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured artist. Almost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen both on and off the stage. Curtains fall. Mirrors are shattered. People are hurt in true phantom style. They all seem like accidents until Rebecca receives notes and phone calls that hint at something more sinister. Is Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or in real life are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca doesn&#39;t know who to trust, but she knows she&#39;s running out of time as she gets closer and closer to opening night. Only when the mask is stripped away, will the twenty-first century phantom finally be revealed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0f1111;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;***&lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3J6Kou7&quot;&gt;Grab your copy on here!&lt;/a&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-end=&quot;2428&quot; data-start=&quot;1991&quot;&gt;This honor means the world to me, not just because it’s a win, but because the cover perfectly captures the spirit of the story: sultry, shadowy, and just a touch unhinged. And for that, I owe everything to the incredibly talented &lt;strong data-end=&quot;2235&quot; data-start=&quot;2221&quot;&gt;Anne Hoelz&lt;/strong&gt;, who served as both editor and cover designer. Her ability to combine elegance with just the right amount of danger brought Mistress Kali to life before readers even crack open the first page.&lt;/p&gt;

Mistress Kali, has left her legal briefs behind in favor of leather, latex, and a whole lot of secrets. But when a longtime client dies under suspicious (and kinky) circumstances, our dominant diva must team up with a by-the-book detective to unmask a killer who’s turned safe words into murder weapons.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;2891&quot; data-start=&quot;2780&quot;&gt;It’s a story full of sass, suspense, and smirking seduction, and now it has an award-winning cover to match. 🖤&lt;/p&gt;

Leading the charge is Luciano Domingo—first introduced in &lt;em data-end=&quot;429&quot; data-start=&quot;420&quot;&gt;Haunted&lt;/em&gt; as the deliciously wicked Count Fosco, now reborn as the cold-blooded Rotti. A world-renowned opera singer with a voice as lethal as his rumored mafia ties, Luke is the kind of man who commands silence with a single glance. He’s fathered eight children across the globe, each named for the city of their conception, and now he’s brought three of them to the stage with him—because what’s a little nepotism when you’re an icon?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;1298&quot; data-start=&quot;858&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Roman Domingo storms into the role of Luigi with clenched fists and a chip on both shoulders. Short-tempered, loud, and permanently annoyed, Roman has perfected the art of yelling through walls and stomping down hallways. His presence on set is volatile, explosive, and strangely mesmerizing. If you hear screaming backstage, odds are it&#39;s Roman letting someone know they did &lt;em data-end=&quot;1291&quot; data-start=&quot;1279&quot;&gt;everything&lt;/em&gt; wrong.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;1720&quot; data-start=&quot;1300&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Lucca Domingo floats in on a cloud of cologne and chaos, draped in silks and secrets. He’s playing Pavi, naturally—vain, theatrical, and just enough of a menace to make the lighting crew sweat. Lucca’s reputation precedes him, thanks to his habit of seducing half the cast and crew regardless of gender, mood, or lighting. He’s beautiful, he knows it, and he’s not here to make friends—unless it’s in the dressing room.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;2117&quot; data-start=&quot;1722&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;London Domingo is the baby of the trio, but don’t let that fool you. As Amber, she oozes entitlement with every glitter-drenched note. British-born, sharp-tongued, and armed with an ego big enough to eclipse the stage lights, London has no time for pleasantries and even less patience for anyone who gets in her way. She demands perfection, designer tea, and the last word in every conversation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-end=&quot;2370&quot; data-start=&quot;2119&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Together, the Domingos are here to unsettle the Patkos and cause&amp;nbsp;backstage drama, diva standoffs, and glitter-fueled sabotage. Buckle up—this family doesn’t just steal scenes. They burn the script and dare you to keep up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-end=&quot;2370&quot; data-start=&quot;2119&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivy2JQzbjM8JuMuhpBVW2m4AVVE_SWwcLtTzsSMNrscJD3-6NYc0QeiWZEEkqm0lvyE4SHnCCA65QPCQUBH8qHuNWMgjp8tNgZaxHEfGfYi3YR5D8x5SW2yep6gGEhFLosARTqR5ZRRKayOaXCo0AxbzQcgJ_F59YPoGFe6r_7xmtYzBdeypS7NDJZoIzh/s2687/Phantom-L.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;2687&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1791&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivy2JQzbjM8JuMuhpBVW2m4AVVE_SWwcLtTzsSMNrscJD3-6NYc0QeiWZEEkqm0lvyE4SHnCCA65QPCQUBH8qHuNWMgjp8tNgZaxHEfGfYi3YR5D8x5SW2yep6gGEhFLosARTqR5ZRRKayOaXCo0AxbzQcgJ_F59YPoGFe6r_7xmtYzBdeypS7NDJZoIzh/w266-h400/Phantom-L.jpg&quot; width=&quot;266&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-end=&quot;2370&quot; data-start=&quot;2119&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;If you haven&#39;t read the Dark Musicals yet, you can get Phantom, Book 1 FREE for a limited time.
