By Suzanne D. Williams The first two things a reader sees that causes them to buy your book are the cover and the blurb. I know I have downloaded books because of the cover and in the same vein, I have also downloaded books with bad covers that had a great blurb. There […]

by Suzanne D. Williams Of all the characters I’ve created, Michael O’Fallen is my favorite, and I think no matter how many books I write, he’ll retain a special place in my heart.

By Suzanne Williams I am becoming a hopeless romantic, and I thought that’d never happen to me. You see, I am the girl who watches all the guy movies, the ones with car chases and explosions, gory battle scenes where heads get lopped off. I’m the one who says, “I love that!” when […]

by Suzanne D. Williams So there I was, Kindle in hand, ready to read, and my thoughts went something like this: Ah, a romance story. This should be good. Chapter one, enter main male character. Rugged cowboy who used to live here. Gotcha. I clicked. Next page. Enter female character. Oh, I like […]

By Suzanne Williams I have been a nonfiction writer for years, writing how-to articles and devotionals, so when the idea to write a fiction story came into my head, no one was more surprised than I was. After all, what did I know about writing fiction? This question became even truer the longer […]
