About the Author
SUSAN GRACE WRITES historical romance novels for Kensington Publishing and romantic comedies and paranormal thrillers for LTDBooks. Besides being a multi-talented author with books published in three genres and two medias, she’s also a professional singer, a born empath, a teacher, an events planner, and the program director for the Romantic Times Booklovers Conventions.
Susan’s dynamic personality has also made her a popular motivational speaker. She travels across the United States and Canada teaching classes in writing, research, characterization, New Age interests, personal empowerment, and promoting the romance genre.
One of Susan’s favorite activities during the past twelve years was writing and producing comedy sketches that deal with the trials and tribulations of the publishing industry. Staged at local and national conventions with other published authors (including Heather Graham, Joan Johnston, and Marilyn Campbell), these shows are always well attended. In funny, poignant, and very truthful ways, Susan explores this crazy business from the point of view of editors, agents, authors, aspiring writers, and their families.

fun paranormal romance,
By
This review is from: The Reluctant Witch (Paperback)
Aunt Nora and her niece Meredith Albright argue the merits of using magic. Nora is a major practitioner while Meredith prefers a more mundane lifestyle even knowing that if her deceased mother used her magic skills she probably would still be alive. However, Merry wants what her mother had, the love of a man, even a mortal.Pediatric Oncologist Dr. Bryan Aldwyn enters Merry's Magic Emporium and Costume Shop to purchase items for a magic show he plans for a Halloween bash with his young patients at the Hopewell Hospital. However, he finds himself a bit clumsy and distracted as he wants to spend time with Merry. She feels the same way. However she fears how he will react if he meets her weird family members like Aunt Nora or Merry's biological father. Merry's sire has been around lately a lot more than he ever appeared in her twenty-six years of life as he has made her his chosen successor as the Grand Wizard. THE RELUCTANT WITCH is a fun paranormal romance that though the plot never takes itself too seriously, the tale gracefully leads the audience into believing magic is real. Merry is a great protagonist as she deals with no men in her life ever since her stepfather died along side her mother to suddenly being a hunk magnet. Everyone wants to manipulate her to do his or her (mostly his) bidding. Fans of offbeat whimsical tales will want to be magically transported by THE RELUCTANT WITCH into her amusing world of Bell, Book, and Candle. Harriet Klausner

Poor Writing Style Marred the Plot,
By Mermaid - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Reluctant Witch (Paperback)
I found it difficult to overlook the substandard writing in this novella! The dialogue between the characters was ridiculous and terse. What little content existed was wasted on weak character development. I cannot believe this made it past an editor's chopping block!!!!!
If you cherish beautifully written prose and prefer the paranormal, try reading one of Alice Hoffman's (she is the author of Practical Magic). |
