Diary of a Mid-List Author • Episode One
Over the years, people have come to me for advice about becoming an author. I don’t consider myself a guru or an expert, but I’ve amassed a great many opinions over the last twenty years and I don’t mind sharing!
Diary of a Mid-List Author will focus on topics about the business of writing, based on my own personal experiences. Not everything I’ve tried has been a success, naturally, but I’ve learned a great deal from my failures.
I’m hoping to engage not just writers, but anyone who is interested in taking on a new endeavor. Have a look at my premiere episode, which is short and sweet. My goal is to post a new episode every Friday, so I hope you stay tuned. ~ Suzanne

#HistoricalRomance • Larken • #free
The sole survivor of a train accident, young Larken Burke is dubbed the
Miracle Orphan. Four years later, however, her life is far from
fortunate. Because of her emotional and physical scars, she believes
she’s not marriageable. With little hope for the future, she agrees to
wed a gentleman she’s never met. Unfortunately, his aloof manner proves
difficult to bear.
Marked by romantic tragedy and the loss of his brother, Brandon King has
forsworn marriage. Obliged to take in a ward, he advertises for a bride
to raise the boy. Since the union is to be a marriage in name only, his
criteria are youthful age, a certain level of intellect, good breeding,
and that the girl shouldn’t be so ill-favored she would embarrass him
in society. To his dismay, he gets more than he’d bargained for.
Will it take a miracle for Mr. and Mrs. King to fall in love, or is their marriage another accident waiting to happen?
