![]() ![]() I look forward to sharing my stories with you, and to bringing more romance and laughter into this world that needs it so very badly. ![]() Whether written by Susan or Susi, the books are filled with that all-important love, laughter, and family I mentioned the only difference is that this name has no male pregnancy. I’m a happily married mom with one snarky teenage boy, and three grown “kids of my heart.” I’m more widely known for my mpreg writings as Susi Hawke this new name is a departure from that. Life can be hard, but it can also be good! Through it all I’ve found that love, laughter, and family can make all the difference, and that’s what I try to bring to every tale I tell. This theme comes from a lifetime of lessons learned on my own hard journey through the pains of poverty, the loss of more loved ones than I’d care to count, and the struggles of living through chronic illnesses. ![]() ![]() My stories are filled with humor, a few tears, and the underlying message to not give up hope, even in the darkest of times, because life can change on a dime when you least expect it. As an avid reader and big romance fan myself, I love sharing the stories of the different people who live in my imagination. ![]()

![]() ![]() We've got long passages from sermons, books, and even rites of excommunication, as well as stories from the always-entertaining Trim and Toby. He's "indebted for the preceding anecdote" to his uncle" (1.3.1), but come on: how does he know this stuff?Īnd there are lots of non-Tristram voices clamoring to be heard. He's also got a little too much info for his own good-like what his parents were doing when they conceived him. He tells everyone else's story: his parents' marriage, Uncle Toby's love affair, and Slawkenbergius's opinions on noses. By now you shouldn't be surprised that, even though the book is called The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Tristram isn't a central narrator. ![]() Tristram's like the Wizard of Oz, pulling strings and making his marionettes (i.e. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was beguiled by Caitlin’s fiery personality. ![]() Andi’s social awkwardness and self-doubt tugged at my heartstrings because I saw a little of myself in Andi. I also love the close bond Andi shares with her family and friends. I admired the way she reached deep inside of herself to bare all of her conflicting emotions on a canvas. I was not only captivated by the descriptions of her artwork but I was touched by the way she chose to express herself through her art. Is their mutual desire for each other enough to get them through the numerous challenges they face? The CharactersĪndrea Rey (Andi) is such a sensitive, passionate and talented artist. A deep passion for art draws both women together, however, they lead very different lives that can tear their budding attraction apart. Her main priorities are having a successful solo exhibition, spending quality time with her family and being content in the solitude she is used to.Īndi has no illusions about meeting someone who will make her yearn for so much more from life than just surviving until she meets a feisty Irish lady named Caitlin Quinn. It is also about love between friends, family and embracing the true love of a soulmate.Īrt is life to Andi Rey, the very talented artist who lives in Victoria, Australia. Where The Light Plays by C Fonseca is a story about living your dreams, expressing your passions and creativity in myriad ways. ![]() ![]() Any interruption of this policy, as when the British shut the West Indies to us in 1783 or when the Barbary Pirates made the Mediterranean unsafe for us ten years later, created dire economic crises at home. Toll places the story of the early United States Navy in its broader economic and international contexts: the United States, beginning with Washington’s policy of neutrality, depended economically upon the ability to trade as a neutral nation with multiple parties to conflicts. It is very engagingly written, a non-fiction book you will not want to put down. Toll’s Six Frigates (467 pp.) is the story of the United States Navy from its birth under the Adams administration, when Congress was successfully persuaded to provide six frigates for the protection of United States commerce against the Barbary pirates, through the end of the War of 1812. ![]() ![]() They weave spells with their words that never disappoint. Instead, this is where I’ll wish for more of Zabo’s writing in general because their storytelling (whether paranormal or contemporary) never fails to captivate me with unique characters and fascinating nontraditional romance arcs. Fire witch Ari Zydik has always had a tenuous connection with their magic. ![]() This is usually where I share my wish for a full-length novel set in the same universe, but I’ve already read Zabo’s Close Quarter.

On the romance side, the connection between Ari and Jonathan flips plenty of expectations set by the cover description. ![]() On the fantasy side of this paranormal romance, the slow reveals are the sort that are unexpected yet perfect in retrospect. ![]() ![]() Jonathan is both something like a dream come true and at once completely impossible for Ari to decipher, but they know they need him in their life – in all sorts of ways. However, Zabo does an amazing job with this sweet yet steamy romance between two unexpected characters.

The fast-paced story is told from the perspective of a fifteen-year old Indigenous boy named Frenchie, who is on the run from Recruiters, and is separated from his brother, Mitch. They believe that this is the only way to help salvage the rest of humanity before everyone else loses their minds, and they descend into further chaos. ![]() Therefore, the Canadian government has deployed “Recruiters” (aka the “marrow thieves”) to find and capture Indigenous people so that they can extract their bone marrow and use it to find a cure or treatment for people who can no longer dream.

As things are drawing to a close, the book is somewhat darker: the stakes are higher, and now that they are all older, hearts are more easily broken, but there are still plenty of moments where I laughed out loud, and clever turns of phrase that I read out loud. Manners and Mutiny has all the mystery, the spy work, and humor of the previous entries in the series. And, there is the lingering personal question of what to do about Soap, former Sootie and now werewolf, who is clearly an unsuitable match, but who figures in her plans and thoughts far more than he should. Sophronia is also determined to figure out just what the Picklemen have been working toward she has thwarted them several times over the last few years, but they clearly still have something in mind. Sophronia and her friends have little time to finish polishing their skills and find patrons for them in their unique line of work.

Suddenly forced into a centuries-old war between witches and sorcerers, Indie is about to uncover the many dark truths about her life-and a future unlike any she ever imagined on top of the cheer pyramid. ![]() And that's seriously bad news for Indie, because according to Bishop, she's a witch too. ![]() If she doesn't get the Bible back, every witch on the planet will die. But when a frustratingly sexy stranger named Bishop enters Indie's world, she learns that her destiny involves a lot more than pom-poms and parties. And the dusty old family Bible her mom is freakishly possessive of is stolen. Who wouldn't want to be her? Then a guy dies right before her eyes. Sure, her quirky mom owns an occult shop, and a nerd just won't stop trying to be her friend, but Indie is a popular cheerleader with a football-star boyfriend and a social circle powerful enough to ruin everyone at school. If high school is all about social status, Indigo Blackwood has it made. ![]() ![]() ![]() Elsewhere, we read about kleptomaniac seagulls, tailgating partiers in the Antarctic for whom the food chain is a tournament, and U.S. Vampires’ title story features a fanged couple who, tired of coffins and killing, slake their thirst with fresh citrus in Sorrento. ![]() Mary’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves, reveals her fascination with how unruly nature can warp mundane reality.

It owes its tense plotting and weird textures to genre fiction-in particular horror and dark fantasy-but its probing themes, dense prose and openness to ambiguity belong to more highbrow fiction.
