Cool. You're here. Kick off your shoes and stay awhile. There's a lot here for you to see.

This website serves two purposes: first to introduce you to me, Susan Helene Gottfried. I'm a writer. I'm boring, but if you're that curious, you can read about me at my bio page.

The other purpose is the fun one. I write a blog (you can and should visit it!) that is full of fiction about the characters you'll meet on my cast of characters page. None of the fiction you'll encounter here is duplicated in any novel. It's backstory, it's color commentary. I started doing it to build my audience for my books and I continue because it's fun.

Blogs aren't always the easiest to index neatly. Either that or I'm using the wrong platform. Both are entirely possible. At any rate, I've collected the links to most blog entries under each character's name. Want to learn about Trevor (of course you do! He's the star of the first book!)? Click on his name, read his bio, and visit some links.

Be warned, though: the links aren't in any sort of order. If you're looking to read the story of ShapeShifter from start to finish, check the free downloads page. There you'll find some of the same outtakes you might find on the blog, cleaned up, edited, and made all pretty. They are posted in chronological order.

Want more of any of this? Want to read Trevor's Song? The best thing you can do is come back often. Talk to your friends about my fictional band ShapeShifter. Bring them back. Show them around. Get people talking. Eventually, the right people will hear, and we'll be in business.

Thanks for dropping by. Come back often.
