Cool things to see

So – I have to say it is kind of neat to see Dead by Midnight on the International Thriller Writers page 🙂

Last blurb and final cover reveal!

So, Dead by Midnight is available on kindle here

This is the final blurb from Richard Starkings, Creator of Elephantmen and Comicraft, and all around great guy.

“An edge-of-your-seat thriller and an impressive debut from Suzanne Robb!”

And this is the final cover 🙂

Next Blurb…

And the next blurb about Dead by Midnight comes from

S.G.Browne, author of Breathers, Lucky Bastard, Big Egos, Less Than Hero, and Fated…

“A fun and playful romp through a dark forest of supernatural shenanigans. Only the dark forest is a private gated community in New Mexico. And the shenanigans include werewolves, vampires, a serial killer, and jars of pickled body parts”.

He is a great guy and I recommend reading his books if you haven’t!

What are people saying about Dead by Midnight?

So, between now and the release of Dead by Midnight I am going to release one blurb a week.

This week’s comes from Pat Shand, author of numerous comics, including Robyn Hood, for Zenoscope Entertainment.

“Suzanne Robb is a natural storyteller. With Dead by Midnight, she has developed into the kind of writer whose work, in all of its addictive glory, will be called “effortless,” but that is reductive. Dead by Midnight is a triumph of craft, and represents the next evolution of an utterly unique voice in genre fiction. Suzanne is singularly talented at crafting tales of the macabre, and this novel reinvents a monster we think we know with a one-of-a-kind story, her trademark clever dialogue, and characters that will stick with you long after you’ve read the last page.”

 

His blurb makes me want to read the book and I wrote it 🙂

Cover Reveal for Dead by Midnight

And here it is, the cover – almost done – just need to add a couple of blurbs…

Thanks to Gary McCluskey for doing such a great job.

Decision made…

After much thought…too much thought, I have decided to self-publish.

I know what you might be thinking: Why? That’s crazy.

The fact is, this has been a labor of love for me since I wrote the first draft back in 2012. I fell in love with the story, characters, and alternate world I had created.

After many more drafts, a professional structural edit, and a lot of proofreaders – I feel confident it is the best it is going to be. At some point, you have to let a project go. Move on. Work on something else.

I have the wonderful Gary McCluskey doing the cover art which I will show when ready. And I have set up blogs over here to try and introduce readers to the world of Logansville through one of the main characters here –

Updates to come…
