People Can Be Cruel!

I can't believe how cruel and heartless some people can be. I suppose what really bothers me is that some people have no conscience. My oldest daughter Jenn mailed Christmas gifts to her sister Jess and nephew, my grandson Gabe, in plenty of time to arrive for Christmas.

The package arrived the other day and Jess noticed that it seemed very light for what was supposed to be inside. She opened the package and all of the wrapped gifts, except for one, had been removed and the package resealed. How can someone steal wrapped gifts with names on them and have a conscience? I'm sure that the gifts stolen from Gabe will be given to some other child. I hope the giver feels real good about him or herself knowing that the gifts they gave to others were stolen.

Jenn works very hard for her money and doesn't have a lot. I know she's heartbroken over this because she put much thought and care into choosing the perfect gifts for Gabe and Jess. I still like to think that there's good in everyone and I hope this person realizes what he or she did. In any event, I am a firm believer in Karma.

When Matt Rogers brings his beautiful young wife Peggy home to his New England hometown, no one suspects the tortured past she is escaping from … not even Matt.

After a series of murders, the local sheriff and a Boston investigator scrutinize the brutal crimes targeting the Rogers family. Although the evidence points to Peggy, Matt refuses to believe she could be responsible. Soon, however, he is forced to succumb to the harsh reality that his wife could be the killer. Could the woman he gave his heart to have committed such cold-blooded crimes against his family?

This and That

Summer is flying by and I'm getting back to work after a short break. My grandson Gabe spent five weeks with me and I promised him my undivided attention. Of course, I still checked emails every night after he'd gone to bed. :) Besides enjoying the time with Gabe, the break also gave me fresh ideas for new stories and books, which I've started working on. I still plan to take care of the unfinished projects, too!

Gabe is becoming quite a little fisherman and wanted to go fishing almost everyday so he could practice casting. The only glitch in our 'vacation' was the water pipes broke in the basement the night before July 4. What fun looking for a plumber and clean up service. All is well now, though, except that I still have to put everything in the basement back where it belongs.

Now I'm back in my work mode since Gabe went home last week. It's hard for me to believe that he'll be starting second grade this fall. It seems like only yesterday I was rushing to the hospital to witness his birth. Time with him are memories I'll always cherish.

Review For Over The Edge

Over the Edge
by Susan K. Droney
Pub: The Fiction Works.


Brant Evans has Cedar Pines under his very heavy policeman's thumb. His wife Janna controls the social and political levers of town with her money. The two of them work hard to ruin the lives of anyone they don't like, or anyone who crosses they own purposes. Maggie Allen is caught up in their web of hate as are the other citizens of the small Pennsylvania town. Their lives twisted by lies and conniving. Will Maggie's threat that they would one day cross the wrong person come true? Will Maggie be that person? Brant has special plans for Maggie. Plans that include arrest, imprisonment, and ruin. When Janna learns the truth about her husband, will she still support him?

All good questions and I think you'll like Susan Droney's answers.

Projects Completed!

This has been a busy month! I've finally finished my book Second Chances and two short stories Christmas Dreams and The Fix It Man. These are sensual romances and as soon as I write the dreaded synopsis for each of them, I'm going to submit them...hopefully by tonight. My next project will be to finish The Stalker script.

Gabe will be coming to spend five weeks with me this summer and I'm going to take some time off from writing. He'll be moving to Raleigh this summer and I don't know how often I'll get to see him so I intend to thoroughly enjoy his visit. He's growing up much too fast to suit me. It seems like only yesterday he was born, but he'll be seven on his next birthday. Besides going to the beach, he wants me to help him write his book. He's got quite a good idea for a little guy. Did I say I was going to take some time off from writing? :)

Over The Edge Is Released!

Maggie Allen's world of corporate money and power comes crashing down after she is taken by a man who is only out to use her for his own gain. When she is released from a short stint in prison, she refuses to give up, even though no one will give her a second chance. She loses everything and is forced to move to the other side of town, where she is determined to make a new life for herself.

Her life would be perfect if it weren't for Brant Evans, a corrupt police officer who makes it a point of constantly reminding her about her past and everything she has lost. She can't understand his vendetta against her, but she refuses to be intimidated by him, no matter how severe the consequences.

The Cats-Kill

The Cats-Kill is going to be published in paperback and ebook this month. As soon as I receive the coverart I'll post it.

A young wife and mother's obsession with her husband's family leads her on a murderous rampage against them.

NEW CONTRACTS!

I've signed contracts for Silent Dreams and Over The Edge! I'll post blurbs for these a little later!

Upcoming Projects

I've finally begun work on the script for The Stalker. It's going to be more difficult than I originally thought. What to cut out? Hopefully, it won't be too painful!

I'm also near completion on two sensual/erotica short stories. I hope to have them completed in the next couple of weeks.

I have one more run through for my completed novel which still is untitled. Hopefully, I will come up with a title I like.

This month has gone by much too quickly, but I've accomplished a lot. I hope February is as productive.

Happy New Year!

Wow! I can't believe how fast last year flew by. I've got several new projects planned for this year and some that didn't get finished last year. I'm also on My Space now.


My holidays were beautiful! This was the first time in years that I got to be with both my daughters for Christmas. Gabe, of course, was the center of attention. This was his first year singing with The Children's Choir at Christmas Eve Mass. He was adorable! Okay, I admit it...I'm a doting grandmother, or Amma, as he calls me.
