I read "As Night Falls" and really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to reading more of her works.

Most of all thanks for buying one of Sue's books.<br /><br />I don't know anyone who has a rich husband to bankroll their writing although I've heard stories of some of the big names that did. *LOL* I think we all end up paying our dues -- one way or the other -- whether that's with our writing career or our personal lives.

I put it on my Facebook page as well because it is inspiring, especially to single writers like me, who are working a full-time job and there is no rich husband to bankroll my writing. I went to Amazon and bought Don't Tell A Soul. Sounds like my kind of story. I have a friend who also loves romantic suspense with a Louisiana setting. Sent her the link to the book.

I've seen rock-solid, known authors complain sales have fallen to nothing. This is a volatile business. Survival takes stamina.<br /><br />But the best single piece of advice I ever got was go out and make friends on the web. Okay, I don't have 150 million twitter and FB followers. But those who I have - most of them I actually know. <br /><br />Life is good! <br /> E.

I feel like I'm starting from scratch since my publisher won't let go of my 29 published books. But I just pubbed my 4th book in a new series and I had fun writing it.

You are a survivor, Sue, and an inspiration for those facing similar situations. My advice is forget that it takes 10 years to be successful. That was then, this is now, and everything is moving faster all the time. Embrace it now because you already are successful and becoming more so everyday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005215075724810989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11856692.post-55762880780552625262013-07-18T15:33:43.117-05:002013-07-18T15:33:43.117-05:00Cynthia Wicklund ...
