Amish Country Homicide

My editor just sent me a sneak peek of the cover for my upcoming book, and I’m thrilled! Watching the design come to life is one of the most exciting parts of the publishing journey—it’s the moment when everything starts to feel real.

People often ask what goes into publishing a book, and the truth is, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes. It all begins with a proposal: a detailed outline of t Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Susan Furlong  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Wilco and I would find a body, a young soldier, nothing more than a boy or girl really, and I’d see the marriage that would never be, the kids and grandkids that would never happen, a family tree altered forever. I grew to understand that there was no closure for the heart-wrenching grief felt by those who have loved and lost. They’d hold their sorrow for a lifetime of milestones that would never be. And that realization slowly ate away at me.”
Susan Furlong, Splintered Silence

“Southern Girl Secrets #107: If someone’s tryin’ to bring you down, it’s just ’cause they know you’re above them.”
Susan Furlong, War and Peach

“War was nothing but brown sand and red blood. A putrid mixture that crept and oozed into every crevice of our bodies, our minds . . . our souls.”
Susan Furlong, Splintered Silence

“If the burden is too much and stays too long, even love bends, cracks, comes close to breaking and sometimes does break. But when it's in a thousand pieces around your feet, that doesn't mean it's no longer love.”
Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀, Stay with Me

“Writing is not always a writer's playtime. It's actually a work in progress. Few understand this and mistakenly believe we're wasting time. But it's never a waste of time when doing what you love.”
David Lucero, Big Jim

“What's the point of wandering?
to find a better place?
a home?
But the loneliness will always capture me
in its claws
of no tomorrow”
Asper Blurry, Train to the Edge of the Moon
