So, life is getting in the way and a move across the country is moving from maybe to definite. (Cue the panicked look around my cluttered office when I realize I’m going to have to start sorting the piles of papers) Stupid me, put the cart before the horse and I saw an amazing …
Advice For New Writers
I’ve been pretty active on Twitter (@susanlyn_author) and Instagram (@susanlynauthor), trying to engage people in my brand of crazy. I’m not wild, posh or daredevil, in fact, in real life I’m awkward AF. There seems to be a common question, especially on Twitter, “What advice would you give new writers.” 1) Writing takes practice. Which …
Doing A Dance Of Joy
It’s beginning to look like I’m an author. A legit author. Sure I haven’t made enough cash to buy a yacht yet, or even a car… or much more than a few coffees at Starbucks, but I haven’t lost hope. Every month bring more sales as I get my name out there. I know I …
Lesson Learned The Hard Way
Let me be a cautionary tale. My alter-ego, who writes YA paranormal, adventure romance, put her novel, Hiding in Plain Sight on Amazon for presale prior to its relaunch. Then she made an error when she put the wrong upload-manuscript deadline date in her calendar. Big mistake. Huge! Amazon doesn’t like author’s violating the presale …
New Glasses
All the better to see you with… Nice abs!! I was due to get new glasses last year and well, Covid. So I finally got my butt down to the optometrist to have my eyes tested. My new specs came in today and all I can say is wow. Seriously, wow. I’m not sure how …
It’s Autumn
As much as I love sunny days at the beach, fall is my favourite time of the year. This weekend, I’ll put away my tank tops and break out my long sleeved T-shirts and fuzzy leggings. I refuse to get into the whole apple vs pumpkin spice debate because I love them both equally – …
New Computer and New Coffee Maker
Now, I know you’ere wondering why these two purchases are highlighting this week’s post. Then again, if you’re anything like me, you’re wondering why they aren’t in bold lettering and have fireworks going off in the background. They are both items vital to life as we know it. Our coffee maker was on it’s last …
Falsely Accused & What Comes Next
This feels like a banner day. I’ll do one more… okay, I know I’m lying. It will be at least two more run throughs of Falsely Accused, the last installment of the Haythen Construction Series before uploading them this afternoon. The Amazon deadline for uploading is 4:59pm (my time) this afternoon to satisfy the pre-order …
Why Would You Write This?
I know the plot of Mail Escort, Book Three in the Haythen Construction Series is going to hit a sore spot for some people. The mere thought of taking a lover when your spouse is terminally ill, is repugnant to a lot of people. So why write about it? While researching dementia I came across …
Book 3 Up, Book 4 Ready To Go
My inner reader put one over on my inner writer. “I hate waiting for the next book in the series.” She whined. “You have them all written, make them a week apart. You’ll readers will love you for it! My inner writer, who really, really wants people to like her. Who, incidentally also has …
