READER LETTER
Dear Reader,
Are you ready for another romp with the Chicago Stars? SIMPLY THE BEST, my newest novel, is coming your way on February 13, 2024! (Hardback, e-book, and audio.). AND SO AM I…
San Diego, Seattle, Phoenix, Chicago, Atlanta, Hilton Head! I’m heading your way to meet as many of you as I can, talk about books, hand out some chocolate prizes, tell a few funny stories, and—probably—put my foot in my mouth more than once. Here’s my tour schedule. (I’ll be leaving autographed...

ABJECT FAILURE! Long post, so stick with me... I love the Chicago Stars stickers Avon provided for me to promote SIMPLY THE BEST--plus the super cute personalized bookplates for me to autograph--and I wanted to share them with all the readers I didn't get to see on my book tour. I love stickers, I love pretty autographed bookplates, and I wanted to get more photos showing readers with the book, whether hardcopy or digital, that I could use on my social, so I asked Asst. Sharon to devise a contest where we could give these out.(Brilliant idea, right? Alas...) She did a great job. She came up with a super contest giving out $25 Barnes & Noble gift cards, along with a whole bunch of stickers, plus autographed bookplates. Lots of prizes. Lots of winners. I knew not all readers would want to show their face on my social, so I also said they could shoot photo with baby, pet, etc. All they had to do was email the photo to me at a specific email address, which I'm only going to hint at in an attempt to slip past the fb authorities. (My initials and the word "author" at that email address so many of us have that starts with a "g." Simple!) Well, guess what? The contest has been an absolute disaster! So far, after posting tons of encouraging graphics, etc., we only have 35 entries! I've obviously done something very wrong. The only way I can think of to recover is to let you also send screenshots of the cover with anything amusing, not just a person or pet. For example, a potted plant, your dinner, your lingerie collection, your significant other asleep on the couch at this exact moment. (Lookin' at your eyelids, Mr. Bill.) What do you think? Can I salvage this disaster? If you have the hardcover or the e-book, are you willing to send me a photo? (Here's what my computer looks like as of today.) ... See MoreSee Less

Well this is the first I’ve even heard of the contest!! 👀😑
Huge fan here. I met you at your Hilton Head event and you gave me a Stars sticker. I love it! So cute! And it was such fun meeting you, Susan. You are Simply the Best! â¤ï¸
The first book I read by you was “Nobody’s Baby But Mine”. I think I’ve bought this book about 20 times. Bought it and turned it in to my resale books shop. Talked about it…bought for my daughter and then a copy for her friend. Got another one for me. Come out in Audi so got it on cassettes…years later on disc…..years later on Audible.com…all for me to relisten occasionally. I’ve purchased it for friends various times. One of my all time favorite books. The first time I read a romance that had an intelligent woman. The first romantic book that wasn’t in a previous century. Most importantly, the first romance where I laughed out loud over and over. Now you can find many books with this criteria, I read most of them!! But when I got this book, it was the first time I had read a book like that. I fell in love with the books and all other books by you. I have to admit that this one is my favorite.
