    Bookcast Epi 79: Reporting Live from my Writing Retreat

    Bookcast Epi 79: Reporting Live from my Writing Retreat

    For epi 79 of the Bookcast I am coming at you live from my writing retreat, about an hour away from home. Hoping to get in a good bit of writing, reading (and let's be real, eating), so the notes this week will be sparse until I am back home.  Today I update you all on the books I read and am reading, progress on my Goodreads challenge goal, then in the writing update I discuss the good week I had and my goals for this retreat. I also talked about Gwen Hayes romance craft book- ROMANCING THE BEAT.  It's basically my manual for writing a romance. 
    Hope you enjoy today's show- full show notes will be on my website at booksbydlwhite.com/bookcast but likely not until Sunday, March 10th. I'll add the books I discussed and include a link to Romancing the Beat.  
    Wish me luck on the writing!

Great way to listen to audiobook shorts

DL White is an excellent writer of contemporary romance novels that feature Black lead characters. I have read and listened to all of her full length novels which are available on Audible. DL narrates her holiday shorts on this Bookcast and does a very good job. All of the books are short and sweet and while her narration is not perfect, it is very good. The books themselves are all well written which is why I am giving this Bookcast 5 stars. I am looking forward to listening to more of DL’s work in the future.
