Sweet Surprise!
Tonight, I received a very special surprise from my dear street team member, Lassie Candace Cathey. The dialogue is from my first book, Laiden's Daughter. This is one of my favorite parts of the book, when Duncan finally admits to Aishlinn (and to himself) that he has feelings -- very strong feelings -- for her.
I think it is so beautiful...I'm a very blessed woman to have such sweet people in my life.

Happy Anniversary to Laiden's Daughter!
One year ago today, I published my first novel, Laiden's Daughter. So much has happened, so many changes have taken place in my life, since that day. Wonderful, amazing, fantastic things and I owe it all to my beautiful readers!
Because of you, my wonderful readers, Laiden's Daughter, has been on Amazon's Top 100 Best Sellers list since February, 2012.
Because of you, when I released the second book in my Clan MacDougall series on September 2, 2012, it made the same top 100 list in less than a week. ;o)
Because of you, I'm also listed as one of Amazon's top 100 authors in my genres.
In the past year, Laiden's Daughter has sold more than 37,000 copies (Kindle versions) around the world. All because of you.
Findley's Lass has sold more than 6,000 copies since September. ;o) (Kindle versions) around the world. All because of you.
Because of you, I was able to give up my day job. For that, I am eternally grateful to each and every one of you!
In honor of Laiden's release/publication date, I'm giving away two signed paperback copies of Laiden's Daughter!! ;o) Rules are simple: just leave me a note here at my blog and you're automatically entered to win! I'm going to keep this contest going for the next 7 days. Share with your friends and they will be entered too!
Words cannot express how thankful I am to all of you. Please know that I am grateful for everything you've all done to help make my dreams come true. ;o) I have the most amazing, wonderful, thoughtful readers.
Eternally grateful,
Suzan

Book Signing -- Success!
Hello everyone!
I had a great time at the Burlington By The Book Bookstore on Saturday. I met lots and lots of new people and was able to see some friends and family members that I haven't seen in ages. I also sold lots of books and gained several new readers! ;o)
At the end of the day, I only had three copies of Laiden's Daughter left and ten of Findley's Lass! All in all, a very exciting and fun day!
I am looking forward to my next book signing. I'll post dates, locations, times, etc. as they come in. (My assistant is working on setting more book signings up for me. I go where she tells me to! lol)
I hope you all have a great week! Below are a few pictures from Saturday.

Hometown Newspaper...a nice surprise
I was contacted by a journalist from the Monmouth Review Atlas on Friday. She asked if we could do a little Q & A for the Saturday edition. Thinking this would be a little story on their back page, I said sure! ;o) Imagine my surprise when I started getting texts, Facebook Messages and picture messages yesterday morning telling me that the story was on the front page!
You can view the story by clicking here.
I'm still amazed at the amount of people interested in my stories. Not just those that read them, but others who are interested in the why and how of my writing process. Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm a pantster. I don't use outlines, very few notecards, or any thing that would even remotely be considered organized.
I was surprised and honored by the journalist's request. I mean really, I'm not Julie Garwood for crying out loud! But it was fun and it made my mother very happy so there you go! ;o)
I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning, my first full day as a self-employed author. Again, I thank you all for your support and kind word.
Remember, if you can dream it, you can achieve it!
Hugs,
Suzan

T Minus Four Hours....
Today is my last day at my 'day job'! I cannot express enough "Thank You's" to my readers!!! None of this would be possible without you.
It also would not be possible were it not for Amazon and it's KDP program. Because of all of you, my dreams of becoming a full time author are now coming to fruition.
Starting at 12:01 p.m. today, when asked what I do for a living, I will be able to say (with a big SMILE!!) that I am an author. You have no idea just how awesome this moment in my life is. Its right up there with giving birth to my children and marrying the love of my life, Kevin.
So thank you, thank you, thank you! I owe each of you an eternal debt of gratitude and thanks.
With love and thanks,
Suzan

Laiden's Daughter....Happy Dance of Joy!
Thank you all!!! As of last night, we've sold over 30,000 copies of Laiden's Daughter around the world since February, 2012! That is just the Kindle sales. That doesn't include those borrowed through Prime, or the 9 sold at B&N (haha!) This doesn't include the paperbacks sold via Amazon nor the countless copies my mom gave away to her friends! lol
This is just so very, very exciting! I couldn't have done this without all of you! She has been on Amazon's Top 100 Best Sellers List since February and now boasts 46 5-Star Reviews! I'd say that's pretty darn good for a debut novel!
Thank you all so very much! Again, I just couldn't have done this without you. Have a beautiful weekend!

Top 100 Best Sellers List
Good morning!
This is such an exciting time and I owe it all to my readers ;o)
As you know, we released Findley's Lass on September 2, 2012. By September 8, she began climbing Amazon's Top 100 Best Sellers list! Currently, Findley's is ranked #64 in Historical Romance, #62 in Historical Fiction, and #70 in Books. (Don't ask me what the third ranking means because honestly, I haven't got a clue! lol)
Laiden's Daughter has been on that same list for more than seven months now! ;o) That just blows me away.
I did receive my proof of Findley's Lass from the publisher. I found one tiny little issue so we've sent it back and the second proof is on its way. I'm very certain we'll make the November 1 deadline to have it in book stores. ;o) I will keep you posted.
My thought on Mondays: I'd like them better if they didn't start until noon on Tuesday! ;0)
Hugs,
Suzan

I Have the Best Readers!
Kind of like every mother thinks her kids are the best and perfect, right? Its the same for authors. ;o)
I wish there was a way to send each and every one of you a bouquet of flowers or a big box of chocolates as my way of thanking you. There isn't of course, a feasible way to do that, so instead, I'll just thank all of you for your tremendous support. You truly are the best!
The outpouring of best wishes and kind remarks this first six days of is just, well, amazing! I've received emails, Facebook posts and twitter messages from readers around the globe with kind words to say about Findley's Lass. Never in my wildest imaginations (yes, even authors have limits to what they can come up with!) did I ever think any of my books would be this well received or successful.
This morning, Findley's Lass is number 85 on Amazon's Top 100 Best Sellers List for Historical Fiction. She's also numbers 13 and 14 on Amazon's Hot New Releases lists for Historical Fiction and Historical Romance. Honestly, I didn't even know such a list existed until my husband showed me last night! ;o)
Laiden's Daughter, the book that started it all, has been on Amazon's Top 100 Best Sellers List in three categories (historical fiction, historical romance, and historical books) for seven consecutive months!
I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this couldn't happen without any of you, the readers. So I am sending each of you a virtual bouquet of flowers and a big box of chocolates, along with my most humble and heartfelt gratitude.
You truly are the best,
Suzan Tisdale
