Hello, hello! For those who celebrated, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We hosted at our house and it was really nice to have everyone together.

I wanted to share a couple quick updates with you all. 

NEW PROJECT! My short story, Chrysalis, is part of the Writing Bloc’s upcoming ESCAPE! Anthology. This is an amazing collection of stories from some tremendous writers -- and I’m honored to be part of it. You can pre-order your e-copy now (for $2.99 -- price will go to $5.99 on January 1). The e-book version will come out first but there are plans for a print release as well. I really encourage you to grab a copy -- you’ll be glad you did!

Interviews: First, I had a delightful conversation with Sarah from the GSMC Book Review Podcast the other day. The interview is now live, please check it out!

Reviews: Reviews are coming in slowly, but remain very, very positive (latest one on Amazon is 5 star, whoo hoo!). If you have read your copy of Shadow King -- please consider taking a moment or two and putting a review up on Amazon or Goodreads. Reviews are really valuable. 

Events: The Arisia Convention has changed hotels in Boston and that may affect the days I’m in attendance. I’ll keep you posted on exactly which days when things get a little clearer.

That’s it for now -- have a great rest of your day!

Best,

Susan

Hi everyone,

I know this is a quick update right on the heels of my last one, but I’m excited to share the new "Shadow King" cover with everyone. Thank you to the wonderful Charlene Maguire of ShapeShifter studios for the wonderful work.

I also noticed today that Inkshares has a new badge on the Shadow King page that shows we are the #3 best selling dark fantasy title on their site. 

I’d love to see that move up to a higher ranking, so if you haven’t ordered yet, this would be a great time!

Have a great rest of the week and weekend, and I’ll send another update in the near future!

Best,

Susan

Hello!

It is the start of a new week and I’m happy to report that "Shadow King" is up to 88 readers now and 95 copies sold! Thank you to everyone who has supported my effort so far (and welcome to the newest additions to that list); I appreciate each and every one of you. As I’ve noted before, this is terrific progress but I still have some distance to go as  I shoot for one of the top three spots on the leaderboard.

I’m confident that I can get there... but I can’t do it alone.

Readers, you’ve already been a HUGE help by pre-ordering a copy. Please continue to share the "Shadow King" link with friends and colleagues who might be intrigued by Aohdan’s story. Or, if you’ve read my sample chapters, consider leaving a review on the Inkshares site.

For those of you who are following the progress of "Shadow King," I appreciate your support and interest, too. I’d love to see you join the growing list of official readers by pre-ordering a copy of your very own -- and if there’s anything I can share that would help convince you to order (other than telling you how it ends, of course!) please send me a message. I’d love to chat and tell you a little more about the story and how it came to exist.

I will update again soon -- have an outstanding week!

All the best,

Susan

Hello! I know this update comes sooner than expected, but I wanted to share with all of you that I learned earlier today that "Shadow King" made the Top 25 list for the Launchpad Manuscript Competition!
