#8Sunday #SnippetSunday #Excerpt from #Resistant










Thank you, everyone, for stopping by my Snippet Sunday & Writing Warriors’ #8Sunday blog hop post. Sorry for being a bit sporadic these last few weeks, but I’ve had a great deal stuff going on. I’m probably going to continue to be sporadic until the new year. When I am here, though, I’ll be posting from my new release, Resistant, a sci-fi/horror romance. Resistant is romance set in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. Once Saying Goodbye gets back from editing, I’ll go back to sharing from that novella.In this excerpt, Sahara, the main character, is alone and unwilling to leave her house due to the zombies roaming her neighborhood. To occupy her time, she spends her days picking them off from her front porch.I fired the rifle five more times. These zombies were easier to kill because they were closer, but then that gave me another problem. I now had four rotting bodies right outside of my fence. They would most definitely bring more. Cursing myself for being stupid, I scanned the street for more zombies and seeing more than a few come out of dark corners, I packed up my toys and went inside. My fence buzzed on and off most of the day. The electricity didn’t kill them, but like the animals they seemed to be, they understood that it hurt and they should stay away from it. Eventually, as the day started to close, I noticed that it had been a while since I heard the fence. I peeked out one of my upstairs windows and saw that most of the zombies had moved on. They had carried off the majority of the four zombies I had killed.  Thank you for stopping by. If you want to read more excerpts from other authors or if you want to join in the fun, stop by both blogs and peruse their sights.














*****New Release*****Resistant, a Sci-Fi/Horror Romance*****$2.99*****

Before the outbreak, Sahara was a high school teacher living alone in a small Alabama town. She saw her life as nothing more than endless days of teaching children Shakespeare and nights reading paranormal romances. She was happy with her life, as quiet and mundane as it was.

After the outbreak, Sahara becomes a warrior traveling across the country in search of sanctuary. She spends her days and nights killing zombies, searching for food, trying to maintain her sanity, and if Daniel has his say, finding love.

How will Sahara help those who are left find safety and stability in a world full of nightmares? Will she stop resisting the man she loves and open her heart, knowing that he may not live through the next second let alone the next year? Join Sahara and her people in a fight against creatures set out to devour them and the unknown threat controlling them to find out.

http://bit.ly/1lFdqNjReviewCan you feel your heart beating? Is it beating too fast? Do you feel trapped? This
is because you are. You're standing in a pool of water, in the basement of End
House, wearing your party clothes. But there is no party, no host and no
guests. The door behind you locks shut. The only way is forward, through the
falling cages with their sharp edges, ready to ensnare their next victim.
Circular saws begin to descend, looking for heads to slice off.

Meanwhile, Linda is upstairs with the rest of her friends being pursued by creatures
through revolving rooms. Or are they illusions? What should she do?

Run!

The owner of End House takes no prisoners.

The Dead Game has begun.

I was absolutely surprised by this book! I knew it had some enigmatic mystery and some dark action, but the author set up the story so well I was happily amazed. It starts with a very engaging character, a young woman who is very well portrayed in a community, Oasis, Florida. The town's mysteries are maze-like and become deeper and more sinister as the book progresses. This is a very original approach to the concept of vampires and their existence.

Ray Miller "Relevant Reviewer"About the AuthorSusanne Leist, "I've been reading murder mysteries and thrillers since I was a teenager. I've read all types of mysteries, from Agatha Christie to Sherlock Holmes. In recent years, I've begun to read paranormal mysteries. These books bring fantasy and the surreal to the simple murder mystery. It's hard to find books in this genre. That is why I decided to write a paranormal, murder mystery of my own. It is the type of book that I search for and love to read.
My book, The Dead Game, has dead bodies and suspects like a traditional murder mystery. However, it also has humans, vampires, and vampire derivatives. And don't forget the haunted house--we must have one of these.                                                             All Hallows Reads Book Party

I'm still trying to play catch up while getting ready for a few more events. That being said, I did managed to read through a few more chapters of Outcast.

#WIP It Up Wednesday #Excerpt from #SayingGoodbye










Welcome back to WIP IT UP WEDNESDAY. If you are new to this hop or are just now deciding that joining this hop would be a great idea, visit the WIP IT IP WEDNESDAY blog home page at:  http://wipitupwednesday.blogspot.co.uk/  to read the sign-up instructions. Also on that page, you will find links to other wonderful authors and their WIP.I’m sorry for being MIA these last few weeks. I’ve had a lot going on. One week I wasn’t able to access the link, so I missed that week. When I couldn't log in, I rescheduled my post for the next week. Unfortunately, I didn’t remember to add the link to the blog page when it became available, causing me to miss the next week. After that, I’ve been swamped. Resistant came out on the 26th. We had an amazing release party. Lots of zombie themed fun. Last week, the husband and I went to see the Foo Fighters. You need to see them in concert. This past weekend, I was at the Rocket City Lit Fest in Huntsville, AL. I had a great weekend. Anyway, enough about all of that. On to today’s post.














Today I’ll be sharing excerpts from my upcoming novella, Saying Goodbye. Right now, this novella is hung up in editing. I may wait until January to release it, as I’ve heard that new releases in November and December don’t do well. My editor has been a bit busy, so she hasn’t had a chance to work on the novella as much as she would like. I don’t have a synopsis for the novel yet (because I’m lazy), but in a nutshell this novel is a paranormal love story/love triangle about a ghost who is trying to find a way to stay on earth to be with the love of his life. In doing so, he introduces her to a man that she might start having feelings for.The following snippet comes right after the last snippet I posted. They are at the party and bantering with one of Michael’s friends.   When sober, Michael was more of a leader than a follower, but when drunk, he thought every one of his friend’s ignorant ideas was the greatest thing ever. My that point, they hadn’t done anything to kill anyone or land one of them in jail, but they’d had a few injuries and gotten stuck in some awkward situations.“I do not.”Erica opened her mouth to remind him of one the dumbass things he had done, but Kevin returned with a six-pack of beer under one arm and a plate piled high with pizza in the other hand.“No sodas,” he lied, pulling a can from the pack he had sat on the coffee table in front of them and plopping down onto the sofa.“You’re so full of shit,” Erica said, grabbing a beer. Although, as she thought about it, she realized that he might not be. Leave it to a group of barely legal boys to buy a bunch of beer and not at all think about getting anything else to drink. If all else fails, she would drink water from the tap, she decided.“Bite me,” Kevin said, then really looked at their costumes. “Nice,” he said, eyeing her from head to toe. The word came out in one long, drawn out suggestive sound. Turning to Michael, he said, “Your idea?”Michael nodded, and Erica rolled her eyes.“Role playing. I like it. You going to let him hook you later?” Kevin asked her.“Get bent,” she said and glared at her boyfriend as if his friend’s words were his fault. In a way, they were because he didn’t hit him or try to shut him up in any way.Michael merely winked at Kevin, then the two high-fived each other.“He definitely isn’t now,” she said. The words were low and more to herself, but Michael heard her.“Awe, baby, I’m sorry,” he said, putting an arm around her and kissing her forehead.“The kiss changes nothing,” she said, smiling to herself. ---That’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed it.---
