Susan’s Recent Updates
"I have all sorts of thoughts about Jane Doe.
But I need to be vague here because of my no spoilers rule. This is a revenge story, a character study, a look at how far a person might go to avenge someone they love. Jane’s character fascinated me. I enjoy" Read more of this review » |

“Hesitantly, he brushed back a few errant strands of her hair, his hand resting along the side of her face. "You have no idea how much I wish I could change thing."
"I think I might," she whispered.
His gaze dropped to her lips, causing her heart to race even faster. When he lowered his head, she held her breath, the memories of their first and only kiss flooding her, a kiss that seemed like it was a lifetime ago. She wanted to experience that again, to feel his lips on hers. She held perfectly still as he closed the distance between them, her breath catching.
When his lips pressed against hers, his touch was soft, exquisite and tender, stirring a fire within her that she had never felt before. She pressed herself closer to him as he worked a hand into her hair.
She wanted more of him. More of the precious connection between them that made her blood heat even as it filled her with an indescribable rightness. But almost as soon as their exploration of one another had begun, he pulled away, his breathing ragged and his expression pained.
"I can't," he softly said, his voice coming out strangled. "I'm sorry. I just... I can't do this.”

“Ciara had shed her boots and thrown herself down on the bed, letting out a quiet moan. The noise, along with the sight of her in the dim light sent his thoughts down a path he’d forced himself not to think on since they’d been running for their lives.
“Spirits,” she sighed. “A real bed.”
He let out a low chuckle, walking around to the other side of the bed and sitting on the edge so that he could take off him own boots.
“Well, if I’d known you’d be this easy to please…”
She threw a pillow at him, her laughter flooding his chest with warmth. He’d missed this part of them and he desperately wanted it back, even if it was only for one night.”

You better not get famous and leave me!"
You? No way, no how. Unless I die or leave editing, but even if I leave, I'll come back for you. I told you, lady: I take care of my own!

You better not get famous and leave me!

Oh, there WILL be more books. But it'd still be nice if a big publisher would get involved! Clearly, there's money to be made here...
