Susan is helping on the My GRL launch and I thank her very much. A visit to her blog S.K.Nichols│mybrandofgenus is well worth the time it will take to look it over. There are a number of places where you will find information which you would be hunting for on your own had you not visited.

An example is the tab; Writing Process WIPs. Here you will be able to look at what Susan is currently working. In addition you will find a number of helpful posts on the mechanics of writing. Susan has explored topics on dialog, research, and software. There are links to helpful sites such as an on line class offered titled Scrivener for Dummies. This tab also features Susan’s suggestions and experience in the marketing of her book Red Clay and Roses. Her experiences are documented in such a way to provide the reader with very helpful how to do and how to avoid mistakes.

Another example is  Book Reviews and Books. Susan has kept up to date with some outstanding releases and she uses this space to provide detailed reviews of the books she enjoys. These reviews give plenty of reasons to read the book for which Susan has offered an opinion.

The Short Story and Poetry tabs contain some interesting subject material covered in a well thought out and a well-executed way. The stories and poetry are definitely worth taking the time to read and ponder.

The Red Clay and Roses tab provides information on Susan’s critically acclaimed book. It is here that the novice can learn the book is a fictionalized true story of life in the Deep South during the time of Jim Crow Law, and before Roe vs. Wade. Women were supposed to keep quiet and serve, abortion was illegal, adoption difficult, and racism rampant. The discovery of an old ledger opens a window into the dynamics of the 1950s-60s, when the world was beginning to change. Mystery, rape, murder, drama, and forbidden love meld as the origin of the ledger unfolds. AVAILABLE FROM YOUR FAVORITE EBOOKSELLER:  Amazon,  iTunes, Barnes and Noble,  etc…, or you may purchase a copy on smashwords  in a variety of  formats, including ePub for your iPad or other reader, a Kindle version,  and a PDF version for your computer if you don’t have an ereader device; (a free sample is available).   The paperback POD is now available on Amazon.

My favorite tab is About since it is here we have a one stop shop to understand how talented and well-rounded Susan really is. She says it best, “I am an author, poet, history loving Registered Nurse, with a 30 year career in everything from ER, CCU, med-surg, pediatrics, geriatrics, hospice, and psychiatry to forensics. I am currently performing wellness screenings. I am a GA farm girl, transplanted, living in and loving the city life of Orlando. I wrote “Red Clay and Roses”, a novel that explores civil rights, interracial relations, and women’s issues in the 1950s and 60s. I am also a wife, mother and grandmother.”

What Susan doesn’t list is her warm and generous support of other writers and her fine sense of humor. Go visit and you will see what I mean.

Thank you for your help on My GRL Susan.
