Announcement from L-Book
New L-Book Release (audio) :
Solaria by Fran Heckrotte – Futuristic - Audio L-Book includes FREE eBook, all formats . Play on any
device that can play mp3 music. Listening time 8 hours, 46 tracks, 10 minutes per track, L-Book total file size 337 MB.
Available at http://L-Book.com
L-Book Who We Are and Where We're Going
L-Book ePublisher is and always will be a publisher of eBooks, Audio eBooks and the newest future media for books. Often we are asked
why we use a computer generated voice instead of the better sounding recorded professional actor for the Audio Books?
L-Book started with the concept of Samantha, a computer generated voice, a number of years ago. She was designed to read literature
thus eliminating expensive live actors and studio production. L-Book was created to meet the needs of a variety of listeners, especially
those with special needs. We offer quality Audio eBooks that are both affordable and accessible to dyslexic, sight, and physically
impaired individuals giving them access to lesbian literature, to which otherwise they would have no access.
Many publishers, especially niche publishers, cannot invest in expensive audio productions of Lesbian Fiction. The cost is too
prohibitive. L-Book has provided an alternative solution.
Our Audio L-Book pricing is on par with paperbacks, are available at affordable prices for immediate download without shipping costs
or delay, and will play on any mp3 device, including the Daisy devices for the blind. As more sell we will continue to lower the
prices.
We have received numerous emails from our listeners thanking us for Audio L-Books. Without the Audio eBook many listeners would not
have access to lesbian literature. We also get great feedback from another very strong group of listeners. Younger people, who have
grown up listening to computer voices, say Samantha's voice is the best they have ever heard and enjoy listening to her narrations
once they get accustom to her voice.
Will L-Book ever use real actors? The answer is no. As indicated before it is too cost-prohibitive, and would disenfranchise the group
of special needs we designed Samantha for. Samantha's voice may be inferior to many real actors but if you match her to other computer
generated voices she continues to be the best in the industry and she will continue to grow and improve on her skills. L-Book will grow
with her and continue to publish Audio eBooks, (audio electronic voices) now, and into the future of new technology. We thank all of
our listeners, readers, and authors for seeing the future that merging books with technology makes possible.
Thank You,
Roxanne Jones

In Without Warning , they fell in love. In Aftershock , their love was tested and reaffirmed. Now Anna and Lily
Kaklis face questions about family and future when a homeless woman is killed in San Francisco, leaving a four-year-old who happens
to be Lily's nephew in foster care.
Longtime Academy readers will notice lots of fresh scenes in this story, scenes that lead to an all-new outcome. This story
concludes the online and previously published saga of Anna & Lily, but you'll discover I left the door wide open for more
adventures with the Kaklis family. Check out Chapter 1 at http://www.kgmacgregor.com, and as

Riley Parra: Open and Shut, No. 1 - Shades of Gray by Geonn Cannon [Original/Alt/Complete]
Due to the response of people who have read my Riley Parra stories, I decided that I would give them something to read between
"episodes." The main stories in the series will be posted a month apart, as planned, but to help make the wait easier, I will
occasionally write a shorter story in the Riley Parra universe. It won't always involve Riley as a main character (and sometimes she
won't appear at all), but it should help make the wait easier. The shorter stories will be posted under the "Open and Shut" marquee,
so people know what they're getting when they click. Enjoy, and look for the next full-length Riley Parra story on May 14!
RILEY PARRA: Open and Shut, No. 1
SHADES OF GRAY - Shortly after "No Use Crying," Riley and Priest investigate a home invasion gone very wrong, but Riley soon finds
reasons to dig deeper. |
