Cover Reveal and Free Read
Welcome to all the newcomers who recently signed up to
receive my newsletter, either from the Love and Fifty Author Signing in
Sacramento or through the giveaway by Once Upon An Alpha, thank you
for signing up. To all you seasoned readers, thanks for sticking with me.
I try to send out a newsletter whenever I have
stuff to share that I think you want to know about, but remember, if it ever
becomes too much, please feel free to unsubscribe at any time.
For those of you who don’t know me, I write both
Paranormal and Contemporary Romance. Mostly on the steamy side. Some of my
books are more descriptive in that area than others, but they all contain sex.
Except of course, my one and only YA novel, Allusive Aftershock. I had a hard
time keeping the heat out of that one so I haven’t written another YA story
since. But I’ll never say never. Because I love those three young adults in that book.
I have a new release coming May 6th, 2016
*A new, sizzling addition to the exciting and
tantalizing world of the Immortal Hearts of San Francisco series. *
*Each book in the Immortal Hearts of San Francisco
series will follow a different couple.*
This one is Captivated by a Vampire
And if you’ve read Tempted by a Vampire, you will remember
Chelle, the new vampire that Lane accidentally turned and felt responsible for.
Well, she’s trying to find her place in the new and frightening world of the
undead and the supernatural, and during her very first solo feed, she collides (literally) into Josh,
the reporter. Oh my, do sparks fly!
Blurb:
She's a vampire. He's human and the best investigative
reporter in the city. Their worlds mix as well as oil and water, but their
attraction to each other is electric.
Josh Barrett knows
his priorities—reporting the news as quickly and accurately as possible by day,
drinking himself into a self-loathing stupor by night. His workaholic
tendencies can’t completely mask the broken, depressed man he is inside. The
horrific night that changed his life forever and left him broken-hearted and
alone is forever fresh in his thoughts. But the torture is no less than he
deserves. Until a beautiful, sexy, and utterly mysterious woman enters his life
and changes everything. Chelle is absolutely enchanting, her allure captivating
and the reporter in him is determined to learn all of her secrets.
Newly turned vampire Chelle Masterson only wants to
find her place. Her unrequited love and devotion for her maker Lane has left
Chelle broken, vowing to never fall for any man again. She’s determined to find
her way in the scary new world of the immortals and begs for the chance to
prove herself—to prove that she’s capable of surviving without the others. Unfortunately,
she meets trouble head-on with her very first victim and ends up face to face
with a very charming and handsome stranger. He seems to only want to help, but
can she trust him?
As Josh slowly wins Chelle over, she decides to
utilize his skills as a reporter to help uncover her past—a dark past that she
cannot remember, but one she desperately needs to learn. Being around him is
addicting, their connection undeniable, and she finds her will to keep him at
arm’s-length dwindling.
The simple act of a Good Samaritan spirals into an
obsession—much more than either of them thought possible. Their love becomes
unfathomable, but it may not be enough to overcome the hurdles standing in
their way…
*This read is
recommended for ages 18+ due to mature content.

Hot New Release Coming & Winner Announced
I’ve been MIA and I apologize. I’m on the home stretch of the 2nd book in the Immortal Hearts of San Francisco Series and I’m on a roll. Let me tell you, this book is
The last few chapters are intense and they have been keeping me glued to my story. This book was supposed to be finished last month, but then I broke my leg. Ugh. The first couple of weeks I couldn’t write because of the pain meds messing with my head and making me extremely sleepy. Then finding a comfortable spot to sit and work was another problem. I’ve finally situated myself at the kitchen table, in a wheelchair with a pillow so I am tall enough to type without craning my neck. My leg is propped up on and resting on the leg holder of the wheelchair.
I don’t have a release date, yet. But I am planning a cover reveal in the next week, so stay tuned for that. I will announce the release date in the cover reveal and provide a pre-order link at that time.
March 1st slipped by me and I hadn’t picked a winner for this month’s giveaway. So, without further ado,

February was a hard month for me. Breaking my leg the day after Valentine’s day was tough. The ski slope was not my friend that day.
It was a week before the Love and Fifty Author Signing in Sacramento and I didn’t think I was going to be able to make it. But my husband pulled through for me and offered to help. He pushed me around in my wheelchair and helped me set up and take down my table. He also volunteered totake pictures of all the other 42 authors for the entire event. (Yes, there were supposed to be 50, but life happens sometimes at the last minute to change things) We managed to have a blast and I met some new authors and readers and saw some special friends. Here I am with some of my besties, Crazy Authors Anne Eliot, Ginger Scott, and Amber Garza. And the chick from Four Chicks Flippin Pages Review blog (awesome assistants) Kitty Love, Michelle Tan, and Neilliza Swaffar. We had a blast.

Kindle Fire Giveaway and New Release of Beautifully Undone
This 3rd book in The Beaumont Brothers is my ninth book published. It's hard to believe that I've written nine books. This one completes The Beaumont Brothers Series and is on sale for release day for 99 cents, as is the first book in the series, Beautifully Wounded. Both Beautifully Wounded and Beautifully Used are available as Audiobooks and this 3rd one will be soon.

Title: Beautifully UndoneSeries #: The Beaumont Brothers
Author: Susan GriscomGenre: Contemporary, New Adult Coming of Age

Amazon: http://amzn.to/1QRmGwZ

He was broken.
Full of hate and sorrow.
Asher Beaumont never asked for much in life. All he wanted was to play his guitar, write music, and be recognized and loved by his father. Unfortunately, that last desire was never realized. The bastard died when Asher was just a kid. Then thirteen years later, his mother dies of a brain tumor, shattering him even more and leaving him hating everyone around him, except for his two best friends, Melody Stevens and her brother, Teddy.
Melody Stevens has crushed on her best friend, Asher Beaumont her entire life. But it’s always been a secret passion. Never something she’d act upon. But when she tells Asher she’s prepared—and determined—to lose her virginity to a guy he considers to be nothing more than a cad who sleeps with anything that wears a skirt, her best friend offers her a proposition she can’t really refuse.
When Asher stumbles across a letter left by his mother before her death, begging him to seek out his half-brothers, he and Melody begin a journey of discovery. Their travels lead them to the two brothers he has spent his life despising because they had the life he always wanted. While on their trip, they discover a miracle they never, ever considered.
A stand-alone, book 3 of The Beaumont Brothers Series with a HEA for Adults 18+


Melody
“I’ll let you buy me that Irish Coffee you promised me now. I think my fingers are about to fall off they’re so cold,” I said.“If I remember correctly, and I think I do, it was you who offered to buy me the coffee.” I shrugged. “Yeah, but you have more money than I do.”The coffee house was jam-packed with wall-to-wall people. It was Friday night, and the city was already booming with weekend tourists. We made our way to the counter after standing in line for about ten minutes, and Ash ordered two Irish Coffees, one heavy on the whipped cream; that was his. The more whipped cream, the better as far as he was concerned. “Mmmm…” I hummed as the smooth, sweet cream mixed with the coffee and whiskey goodness warmed my throat. Ash laughed, and I frowned when I looked up at him as his finger swiped across the tip of my nose. He held up his whipped-cream-covered fingertip before sticking it in his mouth, sucking it dry. My stomach jittered then knotted. Wow. He was so sexy. I’d always thought so, but now, in this light, his green eyes twinkled and his tanned face made him look just like one of the cover model guys I drooled over in my escape world of reading romance novels. My heart thumped and I had to look away, trying to focus on something less…Asher.I needed to concentrate on something real. Not that Ash wasn’t real. But, I mean, a real, possible relationship. The only problem was, most guys I knew were friends with Ash and always treated me as if I were one of the guys, just like Ash did. I once overheard Asher tell Brent that he’d pummel the life out of any guy who ever tried to get into my pants. Not that getting into my pants was ever going to happen with any of those runts, but he did manage to scare the crap out of all of them whenever the subject of me came up. It used to make me feel good and special that he cared about me and wanted to protect me, but now that we were both into our twenties, I just wished he’d let up a bit. How would I ever find a boyfriend with Asher’s daunting threats forever fresh on every male’s mind this side of the bay bridge? You’d almost think that Ash wanted me for himself, but I knew that would never happen. His feelings for me were strong, as strong as mine for him, but his were more of a sister/brother pull that kept us close, not the physical attraction mine were.“Hi, Ash,” Lisa Stone sidled up against Ash’s arm. “So sorry about your mom. Let me know if I can do anything for you, okay?” “Thanks,” Ash responded and eyed me over the edge of his cup as he took a sip. “Hi, Mel. Heard you two playing in the courtyard earlier. You are so good,” she said, placing her hand upon Ash’s shoulder. “When are you performing again at the Tank?” “Tomorrow night,” Ash supplied.“I’ll be there. See you then.” She turned and headed toward a table in the back where a small group of men and women were gathered.I turned in the other direction, not wanting to watch Ash’s gaze follow Lisa’s rear end.“What?” he said when he finally glanced back at me.“Nothing,” I said, rolling my eyes. “Don’t give me that, ‘nothing,’ Mel. She’s nice.”“Sure. Whatever you say.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”“Nothing!”“I know you better than you know yourself, Melody Grace Stevens, and when you say nothing and roll your eyes, there is definitely something.”“Okay. It just seems like she’s throwing herself and her very large breasts at you all the time. It’s rather embarrassing how she comes across so needy.”“Needy? I thought it was sexy.”“You would. Look, I don’t care. It’s none of my business who with or where you get your jollies off.” If that’s the type of woman Ash was attracted to, no wonder he and I had never become anything more than friends. I turned to see Alex walk through the door. Ash stiffened and sucked up the rest of his coffee. “Are you about finished?”“No, what’s your hurry?” I asked, only halfway finished with my coffee.I glanced back toward Alex. He wore a light grey denim shirt, the sleeves rolled up just below his elbows, showing off some cool tattoos on his forearms. The veins protruding as he reached up and swiped his hair off his forehead. He looked good. Really good. Almost as good as Ash. I quickly averted my eyes, not wanting him to know I’d been ogling him as he headed over toward us.Ash knew Alex from way back in high school, but the few times I’d seen them both in the same room together, Ash always seemed a bit put off or uneasy.“Hey, Melody. I’ve been looking for you,” Alex said, putting his arm around my shoulder when he reached us. Ash looked on, frowning. “I’m right here,” I said with a slight giggle.“I have two tickets to see Maroon Five at the Shoreline next Friday night. Wanna go?”“Okay. Sure,” I said, sucking in my bottom lip, dying inside with excitement at the prospect of a real date with a real guy. I mean someone other than Asher Beaumont. Ash and I went everywhere together, so they never seemed like dates. And they weren’t, of course.

Title: Tempted by a VampireSeries: Immortal Hearts of San FranciscoAuthor: Susan GriscomGenre: Paranormal RomancePublished: October 27, 2015
A little about Tempted by a Vampire
Cian DeMarco, a sexy, rockstar billionaire vampire has lived in San Francisco's prestigious Cliff Side neighborhood in his beautiful mansion overlooking both the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean for seventy years. Happily—or so he thought. Until the rare beauty that is Magdalena De la Rosa sits down at one of the front-row tables in Club Royal where he and his band perform once a week.Magdalena De la Rosa has it all—Bachelor's degree in journalism, a job she loves in California, a gorgeous apartment in San Francisco, and a dream guy. Except her boyfriend lives and works in Sacramento—an hour and a half drive from the city Magdalena has always fantasized about living in. All her dreams change, however, when she and her girlfriend find their way into an upscale nightclub and she's suddenly swept off her feet by the lead singer of that night's performing rock band, The Lost Boys. Sparks ignite between the two until a threat that was thought to no longer exist returns to wreak havoc on Cian's and Magdalena's lives. Will the temptation to be together outweigh the reality of what Cian must do to keep Magdalena safe from harm? A stand-alone book. The first in the all-new Immortal Hearts of San Francisco series. 18+ due to adult content.
“Sexy
and Sinister! Give me, tall, dark, and handsome; mix him with the undeniable
sinful sexiness that is Cian DeMarco...and BAM! You have the hottest book
boyfriend that will have you running to turn up your AC as you read this book!”
– Amazon Reviewer
"5 vampire fangy stars!!! I
can’t even put into enough words to say how much I fell in love with this book.
The story was captivating and I was sucked (no pun intended) in!!"- Alpha Book Club
"Cian DeMarco is a 10 on the hotness scale. I had to
keep fanning myself countless times. I fell under his spell right from the
first chapter and was helpless to stop it. The steamy scenes with him left me
breathless and of course wanting more. Not only is he a bad boy rocker and
vampire, but he is also a man with depth and an inner pain that haunts him. He

I stood at the top of the Golden Gate Bridge. The city was beautiful this time of the morning, a couple of hours before sunrise. I’d been resolute in my control to not stalk Magdalena. However, my self-control was slipping, and I knew it was only a matter of time before I would lose the battle. Standing here at the top of the bridge with her bedroom window in my sights wasn’t helping.
I ached to see her, to touch her, to inhale her sweet, delicious scent. Tomorrow night couldn’t come soon enough.
My foot slipped and I began to fall, flashing into space, and soon I found myself on the ledge of Magdalena’s building. Damnit. Five short steps and I’d officially lower myself to creepy stalker status. I’d never stalked a woman. I know of several vampires who do, however. Lane is not one, thankfully. At least not that I knew of, and I’m sure he would have told me. I’ve never had the desire to just sit and stare at a woman before. Not until Magdalena entered Club Royal last Saturday night. Her scent had been strong, and it had pulled me closer.
The next thing I knew, I was standing outside her window, watching her sleep. I’d heard rumors of vampires meeting their soulmates. Someone whose scent drove them insane, so crazy that they couldn’t stay away from them no matter how hard they tried. Causing them to do things they wouldn’t normally do. In all my two hundred years, I’d never believed the stories. But now. I wasn’t so sure. Because whatever it was that lured me to her window—to her—was so strong I was powerless to fight it. I wondered if she felt the same.
She stirred slightly and I panicked, not sure if I should dematerialize or just stay still. I opted for the latter, mostly because I was frozen in fear that she would discover what a sick pervert I was. I hoped if I simply stayed still, she wouldn’t wake.
I was an intemperate imbecile to think I could stay away. I watched as she sighed heavily in her sleep. I wanted to stroke my fingers through the beautiful dark curls splaying across her pillow and brush the stray strands away from her bosom so I could feast upon her silky flesh. She was magnificent. There wasn’t another creature in the entire world so beautiful. It stole my breath to be so close to her.
I glanced around her room, wanting to take in as much of her surroundings as I could, to learn her likes and habits. The roses I’d sent sat on a desk next to a closed laptop. I knew there were many things I could learn about her from that laptop. That would be too much of a violation, though. Vampire or not, I did possess a few moral principles.
Magdalena.

Title: Tempted by a VampireSeries: Immortal Hearts of San FranciscoAuthor: Susan GriscomGenre: Paranormal RomancePublished: October 27, 2015


Cian DeMarco, a sexy, rockstar billionaire vampire has lived in San Francisco's prestigious Cliff Side neighborhood in his beautiful mansion overlooking both the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean for seventy years. Happily—or so he thought. Until the rare beauty that is Magdalena De la Rosa sits down at one of the front-row tables in Club Royal where he and his band perform once a week.Magdalena De la Rosa has it all—Bachelor's degree in journalism, a job she loves in California, a gorgeous apartment in San Francisco, and a dream guy. Except her boyfriend lives and works in Sacramento—an hour and a half drive from the city Magdalena has always fantasized about living in. All her dreams change, however, when she and her girlfriend find their way into an upscale nightclub and she's suddenly swept off her feet by the lead singer of that night's performing rock band, The Lost Boys. Sparks ignite between the two until a threat that was thought to no longer exist returns to wreak havoc on Cian's and Magdalena's lives. Will the temptation to be together outweigh the reality of what Cian must do to keep Magdalena safe from harm? A stand-alone book. The first in the all-new Immortal Hearts of San Francisco series. 18+ due to adult content.









“Sexy
and Sinister! Give me, tall, dark, and handsome; mix him with the undeniable
sinful sexiness that is Cian DeMarco...and BAM! You have the hottest book
boyfriend that will have you running to turn up your AC as you read this book!”
– Amazon Reviewer
"5 vampire fangy stars!!! I
can’t even put into enough words to say how much I fell in love with this book.
The story was captivating and I was sucked (no pun intended) in!!"- Alpha Book Club
"Cian DeMarco is a 10 on the hotness scale. I had to
keep fanning myself countless times. I fell under his spell right from the
first chapter and was helpless to stop it. The steamy scenes with him left me
breathless and of course wanting more. Not only is he a bad boy rocker and
vampire, but he is also a man with depth and an inner pain that haunts him. He
is definitely book boyfriend material and one I will never forget." - Reading For Fun

Unedited ExcerptTempted by a VampireCopyright 2015 by Susan Griscom “Is something wrong?” I asked.He shook his head. “Not a thing.” Then he reached out and took my hand in his, turning it over, revealing my palm. He held my hand, gently tracing his finger over the top line.“You have a very warm heart, Magdalena.”“You’re reading my palm?”“This is known, not only from looking at your palm but also in here.” He placed his other hand over my left breast, and I couldn’t breathe. He left it there for a few seconds as he gazed into my eyes and then removed it, focusing his attention back to my palm. “You have had many periods of sadness and sorrow in love. I am sorry for that.”I gave him a timid smile, thinking of my parents, not to mention that I’d just broken up with Kellen and he knew it. “I don’t believe in fortune telling.”“You don’t?”“No.”He ignored my negativity on the subject and continued to softly skim the lines on my hand. I thought of the psychic reader, Tessa, who Vanessa and I had gone to see right before going to the club. She’d said I’d fall…”Oh, crap,” I said out loud.“Is everything okay?” Cian asked.“Yes. Everything is fine.” I didn’t want to tell Cian what Tessa had told me about falling under temptation, because I had a sneaky suspicion that he was the temptation I was about to fall into. I couldn’t help think about the “meeting someone dark” part of that reading, though. Cian was not dark. In fact, his skin was very fair. He continued to trace his finger very delicately down the center line of my palm, all the way to my wrist and slowly back up the middle, stopping at the point where my pulse beat. He drew tiny circles around my vein, sending shivers up my spine. I felt my heart thump in my chest, and he looked up at me and smiled. “You’re nervous,” he said.I bit my bottom lip. God, yes, I was. But I didn’t say anything, only watched his finger circle around as my stomach fluttered with desire for him.
