Giveaways

Authors intrigue me. I want to know what makes us tick, why we are willing to bare our soul to critique, and what compels us to continue to do so over and over.

Elizabeth Appell, author of Lessons from the Gypsy Camp, and Joan Donaldson, whose latest book, Wedded to the Land was recently offered here on goodreads.com as a giveaway, are interviewed on my website. They are also offering ebook giveaways which you may enter by scrolling to the end of their interviews. Check it out! http://suzannejenkins.net/blog/

The Savant of Chelsea is specially priced at .99 for the rest of the week.

Amazon Reviewer says Suspend belief,

Although I thought the concept far-fetched, I was drawn in by the heart-wrenching empathy I felt as a mother and grandmother. Although the ending felt like a surprise at first, I realized how perfect was its O Henry-like irony. A mesmerizing read."

Thank you!

Author Interviews

Becoming an author has brought joy and satisfaction to my life, a great part of it due to the interesting people I’ve met. Interacting with readers, both fans and not so much, has been wonderful. Meeting other authors, especially those who write fiction as their main genre, is thrilling because I am star-struck; loving successful people and seeing what makes them tick. Elizabeth Appell fits that niche. Hers is the first of a series of author interviews I'll be posting on my website.

Autumn...It's On Its Way

We're in California for the birth of our granddaughter. One of the things I like about visiting a new place is finding a grocery store. I hate grocery shopping in the giant stores so prevalent, so a little, local IGA or Spartan store or mom and pop are preferable.

Yesterday, we found a small store near my son's house in La Jolla and I had a field day. They have a small bakery and a wonderful fresh fruit and veggie department. But what really made me happy was finding my guilty pleasure; Vanilla Cinnamon coffee creamer. I had a basket full of healthy stuff and on top of it all, next to the Acai juice and the carrots, this chemical creamer.

This morning, I made myself coffee and the smell of the creamer has transported me back to New Jersey, to the house where we raised our two children. It's early morning, and the heat is on, radiators humming along, and I'm standing at the counter with a cup of coffee. First, my son comes down the stairs, handsome, fresh out of the shower, and a few moments later, my daughter, beautiful and smiling. They head out to school together, and before I know it, I'm sixty three years old, they live on opposite ends of the country, and coffee creamer is making me sad.

It's fall. It might be eighty degrees and still August, but before we know it, we'll have the heat on at night in our RV, and by the time we get back to Michigan, our sheep will have grown their wool out again, and the leaves will be gold and red.

Enjoy every second of your life.

Love,

Suzanne
