Scene-Snippet Sunday--Sneak Preview: Storm Force Episode 2

Storm Force got off to a good start this week with the first episode (whew--I was nervous about that!) and Episode 2 will come out Tuesday. I'm doing a lot of spread-out appearances online in the next couple of months, so check in here for the updated URLs!

Today, I'm donning my Penton Legacy hat with an interview over at Jocelyn Dex's Demons Do It Better website. Stop by and say hello if you get a chance!

Now...for a scene snippet from Episode 2 of Storm Force....In this scene heroine Mori has...

We're...Off and Running with Storm Force

I hated that I spent most of launch day in meetings yesterday (huff-day job) but Storm Force had a good first day. Thanks again to Lee at She Wolf Reads, Maghon at Happy Tails and Tales, and Miki from Lecture toute une Aventure for the release day love!

Storm Force is being promo'd over at Michelle's Paranormal Vault today, and I'm excited that it broke into Amazon's top 500 yesterday. Still pushing for that magic top hundred, but it was a great start--thanks to everyone who downloaded it and...

Storm Force is here! Get Ready for Smexy Suspense

It's release day! And I'm starting the day off in a meeting, which just seems wrong.

But STORM FORCE is here, and in case you somehow missed it (hard to imagine since I've been blathering about it a while), the book is being initially released as a nine-episode serial for Kindle, also readable on one of the free Kindle apps downloadable from Amazon. Episode One (chapters 1-4) will come out today for $1.99, and a new episode will automatically download every Tuesday at no additional cost. On Ju...

Scene-Snippet Sunday: Storm Force

Ah....is it possible Storm Force really gets started in three days!? How utterly frightening, as the writing of it's only at the halfway point. Yike-a-doodles.

I'm having a lot of fun with this story, though. It takes an idea I started with the Penton Legacy series--the combination of paranormal romance and thriller--and ramps it up a few notches. Will the "paranormal romantic thriller" be a hit? We shall see :-)

In this scene, our heroine, Emory Chastaine, who goes by "Mori," is confronting Mi...

Get Ready! Coming to a Blog Near You...

The Penton guys (and girls) had such fun on the Omega tour that they're going to start doing some steady work in the next couple of months, along with the new characters you'll be meeting in Storm Force. I'll have a little giveaway (bookmarks, posters, books, gift cards...you never know) at least once or twice a week.

Below is the schedule that's been set up thus far. I'll be putting the exact URL on this site on the day of the post, and adding dates as we go along.

Scene-Snippet Sunday: Storm Force by Susannah Sandlin

Welcome to Scene-Snippet Sunday! Today, I'll be pulling a new little excerpt from Storm Force , the new book starting as a Kindle Serial on March 19 and released as a regular novel on July 9. As a serial, it's only $1.99, so what are you waiting for?

First, tis the season for contests, and I'm excited to share that ABSOLUTION, book two in the Penton Legacy series, is a finalist in the paranormal/urban fantasy category in the Gayle Wilson Awards competition hosted by the Southern Magic chapter o...

Scene-Snippet Sunday: Storm Force, Coming March 19

Wow.....March 19 isn't that far away, is it? I'm hard at work on Storm Force, the serial that will begin for Kindle on March 19, with a new four-chapter "episode" released every two weeks thereafter. Remember, if you don't have a Kindle, it will work on any of the free Kindle apps for tablets, mobile devices, and computers.

It also will be available in print and audio from all the usual places on July 9.

And...here you have it! And a scene snippet for Sunday, of course.

The heroine, Mori Chastai...

Life Lessons from Will Ludlam: A Few Final Words

Life Lessons from a Vampire By Will Ludlam (transcribed by Susannah Sandlin)
Okay, so I’m a vampire, right? I’m not the oldest vampire on the block, being a whippersnapper at sixty, give or take a year or two. But I’ve learned some stuff over the course of my life.
Being third in command in the town of Penton behind two four-century-old vampires has been an education in itself. Aidan? He’s like the kindly uncle who encourages you, gives you moral support, and is there to bail you out of trouble....

The Tour Train Winds Down

So...it's the final official day of the Omega tour! It's been a fun, but exhausting, month. But a special thanks to Miki and Roger, especially, who were there with me for the whole thing. You guys are awesome!

I'm doing an interview at Crazy Four Books today, and this is the last chance to enter for the tour prizes. I will be back here tomorrow with a guest post from Will Ludlam.

Because you KNEW Will had to have the final word, right?

And then on Sunday, stop by for a new scene snippet from Sto...

Life Lessons from Will Ludlam of Omega

Welcome to the penultimate day of the Omega tour! I feel as if I've only half been able to follow it myself these days as the day job has doubled my workload, the parental unit for which I have sole responsibility has had health issues, and the deadlines on Storm Force have piled up. Life will slow down soon on one of those three fronts, or at least I keep hoping.

Oh well, enough whining!

There are two stops today. First, thanks to Ava at Romance Book Junkies for the great review of Omega today...
