Susan’s Book Talk: It’s been a Big Week

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail

I’d been all celebratory when I decided to write up this post. After eight days away on business, the Tour Manager was headed home. Then he called to say he’d been held hostage on the plane AT THE GATE for an hour.

Poof! There went my shiny mood.

Anyway, so many of you responded that I should start my own website for fake bands that I’m going to. Sort of. It’s going to be a page on my main site that’ll feature books about rock and roll. I’ve got about sixty (maybe more) listed already. If you have suggestions, leave ’em in the comments or drop me an e-mail.

Huge thanks once again to Winter for doing not only my awesome ShapeShifter logo but for doing a bit of investigating on that front.

Anyway. Back to the books. This was a big week for news of releases to cross my path. Ready for what I’ve found?

Beth Williamson
: Hell for Leather

Joely Sue Burkhart: Beautiful Death

Gena Showalter: The Darkest Pleasure

Lauren Dane: Making Chase (now in print!)

Melanie Atkins: Voodoo Bones

Vivian Zabel: Midnight Hours

Phyllis Campbell: Danger in Her Arms (now in print!)

and last but perhaps most longingly by me (because I’m missing her release party!)
Kathryn Miller Haynes: The Winter of her Discontent

Busy week, huh? Congratulations to all my author buds on their new releases. May your sales be huge and your advance earned out soon. And may the Tour Manager actually get off that plane and be back West of Mars.

    I hate it when they keep you on the plane like that! I once spent something like two hours on the tarmac and luckily I didn’t need to go to the bathroom and I had food, water, books, and magazines in my tote bag or I would’ve DIED.BR/BR/I hope the Tour Manager was similarly well-prepared.

    How could I not check out that site when half my characters are musicians? LOL BR/BR/I’ll have to check out those books. I already have a feeling I’ll be getting at least a couple.
