Wine.

Also, music. I listen to songs that set the tone I'm seeking and see what my characters come up with. For The Timeless Ones, I listened to Ash's Twilight of the Innocents, Civil Twilight's Letters From the Sky, and The Naked and the Famous's Young Blood (both original and Renholder mix) to name a few.

But definitely wine.(less)

I know that sounds crazy, especially when it could take several revisions before I feel I can even send a manuscript to an editor.

To me, revising is when you get to the art of writing. When I first get words down on the page, it's sometimes just stream of consciousness. When I sit down to revise, I'm applying conscious consideration of each and every word, tone, and pace. That's what I love.(less)

My new book is here!!

The Honesty of Wings is the first book of The Corvid Legacy series, and I am so excited it’s finally here!

I can’t wait for you to explore the world of Alternia and meet Rya, Bray, and Vale! I’ve been writing and revising this book for a few years (the pandemic really slowed me down!), and am so happy to see it in the world!

Speaking of worlds, let’s talk Alternia. Think New York City with gargoyle Read more of this blog post »

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

“He peered into the night-dark windows of the afflicted girls, whispering names and stirring fits into their dreams until their own screams awakened them. The girls concocted fantastic stories of witches and curses and torture at the hands of specters. More accusers joined their ranks without his nurturing, puppets of their own envy. Such imagination, such dedication to the destruction of their own. And all in his name. It touched his dark soul.”
Susan Catalano, The Timeless Ones

“The kiss grew into so much more than anything that had come before, unfettered by a time that strived to contain passion, born from perceived loss and glorious gain.”
Susan Catalano

“The world he thought he knew had become an odd thing, twisting time and purpose. But it had remained an unfair universe in the end.”
Susan Catalano, The Timeless Ones

“Merry’s mind devolved into chaos. Ideas evaded her. Words chased one another into meaningless jumbles. Her breath came in shallow gasps as the ghastly image of William’s lifeless body twisting in the wind, solidified and held.”
Susan Catalano, The Timeless Ones
