Reader Appreciation

Susan Sleeman, here. I’m not going to do a long blog post today, but a short one to say thanks to all of the faithful Love Inspired readers who read this blog.

In honor of the release of Dead Wrong, book two in my new Justice Agency series for Love Inspired Suspense, I am giving away three copies of book one in the series to the Love Inspired blog readers only.

A PICTURE WORTH KILLING FOR

Photographer Jennie Buchanan unknowingly captures a drug-cartel meeting on film. And now she has become a killer’s next target. Even worse, her only protection from the danger that threatens her life is the man who threatens her heart. Dodging bullets almost seems safer than facing the feelings stirred up by seeing former FBI agent and ex-boyfriend Ethan Justice again.

Ethan vows to safeguard Jennie from the deadly men on her trail. And for a second chance at Jennie’s love, he’s willing to risk anything to expose the truth—about the drug smugglers, the past and the future together he still wants.

This contest has ended. Congratulations to Angie Adair, Jane Squires and Karen Ryan who each won a signed copy of Double Exposure.

SUSAN SLEEMAN is a best-selling author of inspirational romantic suspense and mystery novels.

Much to her husband's chagrin, Susan loves to look at everyday situations and turn them into murder and mayhem scenarios for future novels. If you've met Susan, she has probably figured out a plausible way to kill you and get away with it. Don't worry, she'd never follow through on it.
In addition to writing, Susan hosts the popular internet website www.TheSuspenseZone.com. She currently lives in Florida, but has had the pleasure of living in nine states. Her husband is a church music director and they have two beautiful daughters, a very special son-in-law, and an adorable grandson.

Be Careful of What You Wish For!

Susan Sleeman here. I’ve heard the saying be careful of what you wish for and honestly never felt in my life that my wishes coming true might be a bad thing. I still don’t think that right now, but I’ve recently gotten several of my writing wishes fulfilled and as a result I have five books to write between now and May of next year. I don’t think I ever wished to write five books in a year, but I wished to make a living as a writer and that’s a good start to doing so.

Now before you think I am feeling sorry for myself, I’m not. This isn’t a bad thing at all. I am truly blessed. BUT. . .I don’t have time to do much else but write and sleep. Cooking dinner or laundry this month. Forget it. Hmm, maybe this is better than I first thought. LOL

My writing days have expanded from ten to twelve hours at least. This I can handle. BUT. . .there’s that word again, I feel stressed. Especially with a deadline for completion of two of the books by mid-July.

So what about you? Have you ever had your wishes come true only to be stressed out by the reality?

Family

Susan Sleeman here. As you read this blog, I'll be winging my way over the United States to visit my daughters, son-in-law and most adorable grandson. So my mind today is focused on family and how important family is to me. It's hard to live several thousand miles from my children. Though my daughters are both grown, I miss them every day. In fact, tears are filling my eyes as I write this. I can't wait to see them.

So as I'm thinking about family, it was only natural to write a blog post about a family that I have spent a lot of time with in the last year and will spend even more time this year.

This family is fictional. They are the five siblings that make up the Justice Agency my new miniseries releasing in Love Inspired Suspense. This family is simply amazing. Two sisters, three brothers all former law enforcement officers with hearts for helping those who are unable to help themselves and all adopted into this family.

Though they are fictional, some days they seem very real to me, and I am thrilled that the first two books in this series will release this year. Double Exposure comes out in June and the second book, Dead Wrong releases in November. I'll share more about the first book in my next blog post.

So until then, tell me about your family. Is it big, small? Do you all live in the same area of the country or are you like me, you have to travel to see family?
