Current Favorite Reads: a Michael Crichton Binge

By Susan | Published: April 26, 2013

I’m out of town (yay! Visiting friends in warm ol’ Texas and TOMORROW IS EDGEFEST!!!), so I thought I’d make today’s post simple. A month or so back, a reader asked, What are some of your current favorite reads? Well, as of this week, I’ve been on an “old-books-I-read-but-don’t-remember” kick. I started on Sunday, with [...]

A Darkness Strange and Lovely giveaway!

By Susan | Published: February 25, 2013

I wish I could say, “Hey! I’m back to blogging, guys!” But I can’t. Though my internet-via-phone-only pet-sitting stint was VERY productive for book 3, it was not quite as productive as I’d hoped. Primarily because I ALWAYS overestimate how quickly I can work. Sigh. Anyway, I am super, SUPER close to finishing up book [...]
