Help Write Now

Make sure to check out HELP RIGHT NOW, the auction sponsored by several fabulous authors to support Southern Storm Relief.

You could even bid on a critique on your full manuscript (from me) and a 30 minute phone call to discuss, edits, the industry, or any other questions you have.

Nice to see. I'm in North AL - thankfully me and mine are okay, but I personally know so many others who aren't.

This makes me enjoy reading your blog even more. :)

Wow! I wish I had enough money to bid. But translated into my currency, the current bid is more than I earn in a week. Maybe I ought to get a lottery ticket....

I placed my bid! I'm sure it will go through the roof by the end of bidding tomorrow, though. I'm keeping my eye on it! Thanks for donating, Suzie.

Five Random Things About Suzie

1. I drink so much orange soda, it's probably running through my veins. I've been known to go through a twelve pack of diet sunkist in a day.

2. I'm legitimately nocturnal (or a vampire). I will be so exhausted at two pm that I'm falling asleep standing up - it has happened before, at Six Flags no less - but as soon as the sun goes down I'm wide awake.

3. I have a gorgeous unused $6000 Reem Acra wedding dress hanging in my closet, and it showed up on my doorstep the same day my (now ex) fiance broke up with me. And thank God for that. I wouldn't have wanted to waste that dress on him.

4. Social anxiety plagues me daily. I write a script and practice in front of the mirror when I have to make a phone call, but most people who interact with me have no idea how nervous I am (or perhaps they lie) because I've worked so hard to try to overcome it.

5. I'm actually worried that I will never love my children (when I do have them in the far off future) as much as I love my dogs. I just like animals better than people - they're sweet and innocent and soft and furry - is that so wrong?
