EBOOKS

MAGICAL MISPERCEPTION (Fantasy short story, suitable for all ages)

For one, magical summer, Jona is selected to be a companion to Prince Lee and help him practice social graces. Despite her joy, however, she is expected to follow the rules: never speak to the queen unless spoken to, never forget she’s merely a servant, and never, ever fall in love with the prince.

Are the differences between a prince and a commoner too large to overcome, or are they just a matter of magical misperception?

Juliet’s plans to wed Lord Elbourne come to naught when she discovers he’s obliged to wed an heiress from overseas instead. To salvage her dignity, she enters into a ruse with the heiress’s brother, whom she views as a rake. Unfortunately, he’s also the most attractive man she’s ever met.

When Cody Gryphon first arrives in London, everyone seems to confuse him with his wicked cousin, Lord Gryphon, whom he hasn’t seen in years. His uncanny resemblance to the man doesn’t make it easier to establish himself. Nevertheless, Cody will do anything to see his sister Stephanie wed to Lord Elbourne, including entering into a temporary engagement with her romantic rival, Juliet. Although he intends to return to Texas as soon as his sister is wed, he finds it increasingly difficult to resist Juliet’s charms.

Can a rake and a debutante ever have their happily ever after?

Dragon Clan of Yden

DCOYBefore I began writing historical romance, I wrote fantasy. One of my dragon trilogies was released under the label of a small publisher, but as the contract for each book expires, I get the publishing rights back.

The second book in the trilogy will be re-released on March 29. As I was polishing the book up this past month, I was fleshing it out here and there…and ended up adding over 5,000 words. Dragon Clan of Yden (Book Two) has a new cover and a new title, but just as much dragon attitude. If you like young adult stories featuring dragons, magic, wizardry, and combat, this one is for you.  ~ Suzanne

Excerpt:

At the grotto, a waterfall flowed down the side of a cliff taller than the goal post at a football stadium. Off to one side, a sharply sloped, smooth section of rock formed a natural slide. Tall trees ringed the grotto, dripping with the kind of vines exactly right for swinging from boulders into the crystal clear pool. Jon spotted Max sunning himself on a flat rock. Shirtless again, the Unicorn Clan wizard wore only swim trunks and a grin. His long, lean muscles rippled as he stretched.

“You get the impression he’s in love with himself?” Jon muttered.

“Hopefully it’s only a crush,” Sela whispered.

As he drew closer, Jon returned Max’s smirk. “Rib feeling better?”

“Your attitude won’t quit.”

“Anytime you want to adjust it, let me know.”

Last Chance for Uninterrupted Dragons

YdenseriesThese four covers represent the prequel and the three books comprising my Yden Trilogy, which takes place here on Earth as well as the alternate, magical universe known as Yden. If you want to read the whole thing now, you have only three weeks before the second book in the trilogy, Children of Yden, goes dark for 90 days. You see, the rights to that book are reverting to me at the end of 2015, and under the terms of the contract I can’t republish it until April 1st, 2016. I’ll be republishing the book with a different title and cover on 4/1/16, but you’ll be able to pre-order it beforehand. Nevertheless, if you like your dragon stories uninterrupted, get moving!

While balancing the rigorous demands of regular schoolwork, Jon eagerly begins his magical training on Dragon Isle.

Using a purloined map, however, the Fox Clan has already begun recruiting the children of Yden for their own sinister plans. Jon soon discovers Guinn of the Fox Clan is searching for a magical artifact called the Portal Key — and he’s more than willing to kill for it. Worse, Guinn’s desire to settle an old score puts Jon directly in his sights. As Guinn’s schemes fall into place, Jon is forced to hurt a close friend to protect her.
