Q&A with Susan Kaye Quinn discussion

I'm excited that so many of you have already added Closed Hearts to your TBR! What would you like to see more (or less!) of in the sequel? I'm writing it now ... so get your thoughts in!

I can't wait for this book, Susan. :)

Thanks Kelly! I'm struggling with a plot point today, so I appreciate the inspiration.

Well, having read OPEN MINDS, I have no doubt you'll figure out that plot point and turn it into something amazing. :)

:) Thanks for the vote of confidence!

I think as far as content, you hit the right amount of adventure/romance in the first book. The only thing that came close to irking me was the word 'demens' for some reason. Not so much on its own, but when paired with 'ward', etc made me stumble during reading.


I can't wait for the next book. Once it's up for pre-order I'm going to jump in and get a physical copy. :)

Thanks for being excited for Closed Hearts!! I've had some people really like the lingo and others have a hard time with it. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts!

It's not ALL the lingo. It was really just two or three places in the whole book. I, personally, am just oversensitive to these things. But the storyline more than made up for it.

:) That's good to hear!

It's going to be awesome! Maybe more interaction with her dad or brother? I really liked them & it would be cool to see a little more of them. Hmm, I wonder if there's going to be more of Agent Kestrel or Molloy?! Maybe another bad guy/girl -Ahhhh, can't wait! <3

Yes, maybe, yes and yes. Oh, and definitely yes to that last one. :) I'm also working on a prequel short-story to come out for Valentine's day in the Indelible's Anthology In His Eyes...just to hold you over! :)

Oooooh! <3 LIKE <3!

Are you still deciding on a cover for book 2?!

In fact, I am working with my cover designer Dale Pease on the cover for Closed Hearts right now! :) The only bad part is having to wait so long to do a cover reveal! (Dale's a genius)

Oh, I didn't know about this! How exciting! I'm adding the book to my private Goodreads profile. Can't wait to see the cover! And I can't wait to read it!

I've just released Closed Hearts, the sequel to my paranormal/science fiction novel Open Minds!



When you control minds, only your heart can be used against you.

Eight months ago, Kira Moore revealed to the mindreading world that mindjackers like herself were hidden in their midst. Now she wonders if telling the truth was the right choice after all. As wild rumors spread, a powerful anti-jacker politician capitalizes on mindreaders' fears and strips jackers of their rights. While some jackers flee to Jackertown--a slum rife with jackworkers who trade mind control favors for cash--Kira and her family hide from the readers who fear her and jackers who hate her. But when a jacker Clan member makes Kira's boyfriend Raf collapse in her arms, Kira is forced to save the people she loves by facing the thing she fears most: FBI agent Kestrel and his experimental torture chamber for jackers.
