A cheap getaway to Hogback…

My pair of funny paranormal cozy mysteries are just 99 cents each April 19-26. You know these stories are fictional because I wrote them as Suki McMinn and, well… vampires.

The Vampire of Waller County
What if a single injection could turn humans into vampires? And what if that drug fell into the hands of a devious man bent on creating his own army of monsters? Dr. Jim Samuels sets his sights on the sleepy town of Hogback, North Carolina, tucked into the picturesque foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. He’s counting on finding the kind of simple-minded fools he needs to execute his plan, but he’s dead wrong. When Nathan Waller interferes with the doctor’s evil scheme, he puts everyone he loves in danger. Can he save sweet Holly McReady in time? Can he step up to be the hero of Waller County? Can he do it in wet pajamas and Big Foot slippers? Halloween in Hogback will never be the same, and neither will Nathan Waller.

And then… Christmas in Waller County
When Palmer Finnegan shows up and threatens to expose Hogback’s secrets to the world, every vampire in town wants him dead. Except for one. Nathan is determined to keep Finnegan alive, but something goes sideways during the Christmas Stroll. Can he protect Finnegan from the violence that now pervades Hogback? Will blood be spilled on Peanut’s red Christmas coat? And can Nathan keep Holly away from the mistletoe over Keen Justice’s head? When things go terribly wrong in Hogback, Nathan might be the only one who can make them right again. Will he do the right thing? Or is the wrong thing what Waller County really needs? Confused? Well, so is Nathan. Welcome to Hogback.

The Screenwriter’s on sale!

My favorite fictional screenwriter is ready to be your next book boyfriend for pennies! Check out this 99-cent Kindle special April 12-19 for my Hollywood romantic comedy, The Screenwriter Next Door. Because I wrote it as Suki McMinn, this one is purely fictional (although you will certainly see how my real life influenced this story).

Fasten your seatbelts for a bumpy, Hollywood ride… When a 1987 earthquake sends Sadie’s hot screenwriter neighbor over in his skivvies, her comedian boyfriend turns the event into a TV pilot.

She decides to swap her story-stealing boyfriend for the screenwriter and buys herself a used typewriter.

But writing her own L.A. happily ever after isn’t as easy as she’d imagined. And her modeling career is slogging along in the slow lane.

With her ex’s television show set to become the hit sitcom she should have written, Sadie faces a choice:

Fashion model or writer? If she chooses both, is there room in her life for the funny man who wins her heart?

One day only!

I’m having a one-day Kindle special today only on my funny Hollywood memoir, The Opposite of Famous by Susan McNabb (my nonfiction name, so you know this is the real scoop).

A shy young woman traveled from North Carolina to Hollywood in 1984, and within a mere few decades, struggled and clawed her way up to become the opposite of famous.

Susan McNabb worked on thousands of jobs as a model, actor, and extra, as an assistant to casting, wardrobe, makeup, and finally, to Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. Single well into her forties, McNabb rubbed elbows and other body parts with scores of interesting men, including Jerry Seinfeld for eight rocky years.

This hilarious collection of essays chronicles her adventures and a life of dogged persistence in a business that shows you the door more often than a path to success. Learn what it takes to work as a fashion model, a commercial actor, a film extra, and a butt double. And to build a rich life in which the journey is the real reward.

Journeys to Authorship

My latest anthology is out! And it got a number one best seller banner on Amazon! Journeys to Authorship is a collection of author origin stories by a group of Phoenix writers. We tell the true stories of how we became published authors, and they are as different as they can be.

I know you’ll love my essay, “Flirting with the Flames of Fame,” because the real hero of my story is fanfiction. I started my writing life writing fanfiction and loved every minute of it (which is why I’m still writing!), and because I made so many wonderful friends in our fandom, I was able to publish my first book, Drop Dead Gorgeous. Heck, I never would have even written it if I hadn’t met my fanfiction friends.

As my title suggests, I do spill a few beans about the famous people in my life when I lived in Hollywood, and I think you’ll enjoy that too (especially if you’ve read my Hollywood memoir, The Opposite of Famous by Susan McNabb <–my nonfiction name).

So, please enjoy this special anthology, and let me know what you think!
