Don't you just love this cover? I know I do!
I was so thrilled to be a part of this fabulous anthology.  It's a privelage to work alongside such wonderful authors.
The release date is just around the corner. I want to send a special thanks to K.A. M'Lady for all of her hard work and assistance on this project.
I can't wait to read the other writer's contributions and I hope you all stop by MojocastlePress and check out their newly designed website and some of the fabulous reads they offer.
Wishing you all a frightful Halloween!

It's that time of year again...the best time of year as far as I'm concerned. I'm talking about Autumn. And lurking right around the corner is Halloween!

To celebrate and honor this ancient holiday, I have joined with a wonderful group of authors to release a curl-your-toes, spinetingling paranormal Halloween anthology.

The book will be published through Mojocastle Press. It's my first time working with Mojocastle and I am so excited to be a part of their family of authors.

Hello all! I’d like to invite you to join me for an author spotlight at Coffeetime Romance June 8th.

I will be around all day with a fresh pot of coffee and eager to get my chat on!

Also on June 8th I will be drawing the lucky winner of my Vampire Tears Necklace.





The triple strand necklace features genuine Tahitian black pearls, as well as black freshwater pearls, faceted jet beads, Swarovski crystal rondelles and of course, Blood Red Vampire tears!


The contest is now open to entries!

To enter the contest for this one-of-a-kind creation, simply go to my publisher’s website where you will find a download for a 3 FREE chapter read of my latest release, Only the Lonely. One of those chapters holds the answer to the question, “What level of ‘hotness’ does Summer assign to Lucien?”

Simply email the answer to Susanlgabriel@yahoo.com

The winning entry will be chosen from all correct entries by a random number generator on June 8th, Midnight CST. I will personally notify the winner by email as well as posting the winner on my blog site and in the Coffeetime forum.

Good luck to everyone!

Also, throughout the month of June I will be posting in Coffeetime Romance and More Special Interest forums about playing guitar and jewelry making.

I look forward to chatting it up with everyone and please feel free to bring along a “plus 1” or more!

I'm so thrilled today because I opened my inbox to find high praise for a short story I had submitted for a Halloween anthology and a promise to get back to me with details. I can only assume that means it will be accepted for publishing in that same anthology. I will let you know when I know anything further, e.g. release date, title, etc.

Additionally Coffetime Romance and More will be spotlighting me in June ( date to be announced soon ). 

I will be running a contest on that day and giving away to one very lucky winner, this gorgeous one-of-a kind Vampire Tears necklace. (designed by ME!).
The triple strand necklace features genuine Tahitian black pearls, as well as black freshwater pearls, faceted jet beads, Swarovski crystal rondelles and of course, Blood Red Vampire tears!  So I hope you all can come and join me. Just follow the Coffeetime Group link on the left of this page and that will take you directly to my group page or you can hit this link.



During the month of June I will also be blogging about  playing guitar and jewelry making on the Coffeetime Special Interest area
But wait, there's more! On  August 24th I will be interviewed on the Molly Daniels Blogspot, Please mark your calendars and stop by the site. I'll be running a special giveaway promotion on that day also, which I will announce here on my blog...so be on the look out.
So as you can see, summer looks like it will be a blessedly busy time for me. Now if I can only find the discipline to sit down and work on the three stories I have in various stages of development. Any ideas on how to get my attention span under control would be greatly appreciated.

Yesterday at my CyberLaunch party for Only the Lonely over at Cyber Launch Party Blogspot , a reader posed the question, "Who would play your two leads if it were to go to the screen?"

I thought this was a truly wonderful question and decided to post it here and ask your opinion. In fact, your responses will speak volumes to me about how my characters came across on paper.

I, of course, have my own ideas about who would play Lucien and Summer, but I prefer to let my readers picture them in t...

What are you waiting for...go win that book!

I am going to share with you an amazing tool for developing your characters--the Character Interview. I wish I could claim it as my own original idea, but I cannot. I ran across the idea somewhere on the internet and have begun to use it on my current work in process with great results. Recently I "sat down" with one of my new characters as I felt I needed more of a focus on her. I visualized the setting in which the interview might take place, what she looked like, what she was wearing, and ...

Long before Easter was Easter, the pagans celebrated the arrival of Spring with Eostre. There are many other related names for the Easter celebration, but no matter what you call it there is one thing they all have in common...fertility! Eggs, chocolate, rabbits (we all know what those furry creatures like to do), they all subconciously relate to sex.

Forget the usual jelly beans and malted milk balls. How about a ...
Okay I understand if marshmallow treats don't quite do it for you. So, in honor of this horny little holiday, I'd like to present you with a basketfull of tasty treats, dressed in their finest Easter colors. Enjoy and have a Hot Holiday!


How would you like this guy hopping around in your bed?

Is that a chocolate bunny in your pants or are you just happy to see me?
What's the first part you'd sample if you found this March Hare tucked into your Easter grass?



And just because it makes me laugh...
