MBS Blogoversary SPOTLIGHT #6: Author Susan Helene Gottfried

SPOTLIGHT: AUTHOR SUSAN HELENE GOTTFRIED

I met Susan online through the Win-a-Book site where she posts tons of giveaways!
Win a Book is now part of the West of Mars website where Susan also presents her contemporary books.


Shapeshifter : The Demo Tapes -- Year 1
ShapeShifter -- The Demo Tapes : Year 2
ShapeShifter: The Demo Tapes: Year 3
Mannequin: A Short Story
Trevor's Song

I asked each author to answer two questions for their spotlight.
The first I asked and the second they provided.

Question #1:  Why do you write/what do you hope your readers get from your books?

A:  Why do I write? Well, it's a birth defect. I can't stop. I've tried. So... since I failed at failing, I decided to share my fictional world with the real world. It's been a fantastically fun ride; I've met some incredible people and I've watched people fight over my characters of Trevor Wolff and Mitchell Voss. You guys can't get enough and I feel so privileged to get your Tweets and e-mails and Facebook postings, demanding more of the boys. Thank you.

Question #2:  One question no one seems to want to ask is if I'll ever move on from Trevor and Mitchell.

A: The answer is yes. The plan is to keep things set roughly in their same fictional world and you may see them in other things I write (check out my e-book only short story, Mannequin, to see what I mean), but their sagas are coming to a close. Regrettably. But there are so many other cool characters to bring you!

MBS Blogoversary SPOTLIGHT #5: Author Suza Kates

SPOTLIGHT: Author Suza Kates

Suza writes Paranormal Romance and Romantic Suspense. I got to review Whisper of a Witch last fall and I'd love to read more in the series!

Conviction of a Witch (The Savannah Coven Series Book 2)

The Good
Finding out she was a witch was more difficult for Willyn Brousseau than any of the nine women in her newfound coven. She’s a mother, a healer, and wears a cross around her neck to proudly declare her religion. She and her friends are just learning to master their power, but Willyn’s time is up. It’s her turn to stand against evil and pass her individual trial. What else could go possibly wrong?

The Bad
Dare Forster is well acquainted with the prophecy, the demon, and the coven’s magic. It’s precisely why he’s come to the island near Savannah. He’s a witch bearing a grudge, but he also has a plan. He just needs one of the nine to make it happen.

The Undeniable
Willyn and Dare come together like flint and brimstone, rejecting the desire that sparks between them. He’s no good for her, and she’s his sworn enemy. Both will be tested in ways they can’t imagine and pray that love will save them, body and soul.

Hallowed Eve - I'm looking forward to reading this one near October... thought it would be good for Halloween.

I asked each author to answer two questions for their spotlight.
The first I asked and the second they provided!

Question #1:  Why do you write/what do you  hope your readers get from your books?

A:  I began writing as a way to entertain myself when I spent some time abroad with little outside communication. I grew to love the creation of new places and characters, the relationships that reflected what many of us have experienced in our own lives, and the thrill of accomplishing a goal. It becomes addictive, and I would suggest it to anyone.
I hope my readers enjoy a sense of escapism. I want to write characters they would like to hang around with and settings they would like to visit. Above all, I want readers to crave a return to the story whenever they put it down. That's my favorite kind of book!

Questions #2:  Why witches?

A:  I read a trilogy once about witches, and it's still one of my favorites to this day. Embracing feminine power, the natural world, candles and cats, the entire idea of a magical world is enticing to me.
There is something wonderful about finding your own inner witch and wondering...if only...

Framing Faith: A Pictorial History of Communities of Faith by Sarah Piccini 

with photography by Ivana Pavelka. 

Framing Faith Website

Framing Faith Synopsis:
Framing Faith tells the story of the faith of immigrants and their descendants, spotlighting ten Catholic churches in the Diocese of Scranton that were closed due to restructuring. The churches, SACRED HEART, MAYFIELD; ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA, SCRANTON; ST. JOSEPH, SCRANTON; HOLY FAMILY, SCRANTON; ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST, SCRANTON; ST. MARY OF THE ASSUMPTION, SCRANTON; ST. MARY CZESTOCHOWA, SCRANTON; ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST, TAYLOR; IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, TAYLOR; AND ST. MICHAEL, OLD FORGE have rich ethnic heritages. They are Polish, Slovak, Italian, German, and Lithuanian parishes with long traditions and deep roots. Each church was founded by immigrant groups who came to the coal fields of the Lackawanna Valley with little more than their faith in God. Their churches served as the center of the community and touchstones of the Old Country. Framing Faith traces their histories from small beginnings through baptisms, weddings and funerals to their final celebrations. Throughout the text are images from each church, visual reminders of what was for many an important part of their lives.
