Bookcast Episode 37- That Time I Lost My @ss in New Orleans

Books by DL White Bookcast

04/01/23 • 28 min

Welcome back to the Bookcast, my platform for sharing short fiction and updates on what I'm reading and writing. The bookcast is hosted by me, DL White, an Atlanta based author of romantic fiction featuring Black men and women. I'm also a big fan of books and the writing ass writers who write them, so this podcast is usually book heavy unless I'm talking nonstop about something I'm writing or have just written. If you're here for the writing content, hang in there...that train is pulling into the station very, very soon.

If you're new here or a seasoned listener, a bibliophile, or just looking for a good read, I hope you'll enjoy today's show. I'm honored to have your ears for this time and I can't wait to share my love of reading with you.

Today is Saturday, April1st. it is a rainy, thunderous day in Atlanta but I have my coffee and this mic. Let's talk books!

Today I want to tell the story of how I lost my ASS at EssenceFest 2018, but first.. two things.

On this week's episode I talked about my vacation, the books I read and a little bit of writing I got done! I also talked about my appearance on the Black Romance Podcast, hosted by Julie Moody-Freeman with the dePaul University Center for Black Diaspora.
I talked about the following books on today's show:
Marry Me by Delaney Diamond
Kiss Me by Sharon C Cooper
The Buildup by Tati Richardson
Not So Perfect Strangers by L.S. Stratton
Those Empty Eyes by Charlie Donlea
Vivid by Beverly Jenkins
The Exchange by John Grisham
Lone Women by Victor LaVelle
The Changeling by Victor LaVelle

Bookcast Episode: 86: Reading, Publishing, and short fiction

Books by DL White Bookcast

05/25/24 • 35 min

Welcome to Episode 86 of The Bookcast by DL White. I'm excited to share updates about my latest book, The Pearl, a Black Diamond romance set to release July 2024. Subscribe to my newsletter for news, book sales, updates and exclusive content.

Speakin' of sales, today is the last day of my sale on Beach Thing, links are available at my store: payhip.com/booksbydlwhite. Discounted prices on various platforms are listed there.

Reflecting on my decision to move my books away from Amazon's exclusive programs, I talked about my strategy of diversifying sales channels to avoid dependency on a single platform. I began my wide distribution approach in 2018 and talked about my preference for selling through platforms that treat authors better and provide more significant revenue shares.

I also touch on my reading habits— I am significantly ahead of my Goodreads challenge goal. I discuss some recent reads, and share my thoughts on their impact on my own writing, particularly in the realm of romantic suspense and private investigator novels.

Lastly, I shared a piece of short fiction that I wrote. I plan to provide four parts to this story and as a discovery writer... I don't have a clue where this is going. Let's find out together!

Bookcast S3:E5- COME AT ME, BRO!

Books by DL White Bookcast

02/18/23 • 40 min

This week’s episode is very much a glimpse into the real me. It’s take three and you can probably tell. I was tired of being the person that rants and complains and I don’t want this space to become that so I cut all that out and got into the JOYS that I want to celebrate.

It’s Lorde- Morrison day (Happy Birthday, Toni Morrison & Audre Lorde) so I talked about them and books I’m reading, books I’m not reading, and books I am excited about reading. Check the notes at the website for links and books referenced.
