  • Character Plotting & Betting on Survivor Leagues: An Interview with Author Lisa Suzanne
    Mar 31 2026

    I had such a fun time having romance author Lisa Suzanne on the podcast!


    We chatted about how Lisa's 30th book was her actual first sports romance, whether or not she's interested in writing any hockey books in the future, and whether Portillo's was a huge restaurant back when she lived by Chicago as it is now ( a very important question.)


    Also, who wants to start a TV show league with me, too?



    Snap Decision by Lisa Suzanne is OUT NOW!

    Buy it on Amazon* (it's also on KU!)



    NEW BOOK PURCHASING OUTLET:

    -When you see an asterisk (*) next to a book, that means I get a portion of sales from Amazon. It does not take a cut from the author and doesn't it make it more expensive for you.
