Pistol Whipped just went live, and yes, I'm having a typical Susan release day... #amreading #amazon #oneclick #romance #indieauthors #author #blogging #amazon #kindl

Someone once asked me why I still do this--write and release books. I'm not known for the big bang release days.  I'm certainly not having one today. I'm happy if I make an Amazon top 100 genre list. What I usually say to people wondering why I'm still doing the book thing even though I don't have success how most authors measure success, I say, "I'm a tortoise not a hare." And it's true, it's true. My books don't rocket out on release date. They sort of walk with presence, like me, and enough of you pick them up along the way, that it all somehow works out OK.

I'll never be an author on NYT or USA today bestseller list. Hell, I won't ever be THAT author with a page full of reviews on their Amazon book on the day released.  But I would argue that I am probably one of the happiest Indie Authors out there. I write what I want to write. Getting to share my work is an amazing high. I'm living each day an experience that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. And oh, on a really good day, I get a kind note or comment from a reader.

Each instance I know a reader has spent time with me on their kindle within the pages of one of my books, is still a magical moment.  I'm too old for great highs and too old to see lows. Every day doing what I love is amazing.

As ever, I wish you peace, and thank you all for the amazing two years you've given me.

Title: Pistol Whipped

Series: Locked & Loaded Book 2

Author: Susan Ward

Release Date: April 13th

The Locked & Loaded Series is a spinoff of the Amazon Bestselling Sand & Fog Series. Each book is a standalone and can be read in any order. 

I’m Dillon Warrick. 

Ex-Special Forces. I have no memory of what went down on my last deployment, so when the opportunity came to resign my commission and sign up for a new gig I jumped on it. 

Now I’m the personal bodyguard for the biggest celebrity on the globe and still living life on the edge. I’m six feet two inches of blond-haired, blue-eyed Adonis, combat-fit body and fully loaded weapon. 

My best friend, Graham, thinks I’m running too close to the edge and about to take a fall. And then there’s Rachel, my former high school sweetheart turned f&&k-buddy. As incredible as she is, I can’t commit until I unravel the mystery of what happened on my final mission.

I'm addicted to writing. I've written 41 romance novels My current releases include: The Girl on the Half Shell; The Girl of Tokens & Tears; The Girl of Diamonds & Rust; The Girl in the Comfortable Quiet; The Signature; Rewind; One Last Kiss; One More Kiss; One Long Kiss; When the Perfect Comes; Face to Face; Love’s Patient Fury. 

I've been in love with the Romance novel since I read my first Kathleen Woodiwiss book, and it seems to me that beyond a steamy fun read, a good romance novel is so much more: it is women empowering women. We share. We learn. 

So about me? I'm as eclectic as my books. A mom. A grandmother. A business owner. A writer of romance. An advocate for clean air and the environment. A wife and an animal lover. The best way to explain me is that once in a talent contest I played classical piano followed by a chopsticks duet with my toes. That pretty much sums up how I've lived my life!
