Atlantis Revealed!

Past lives, past loves, PAST INDISCRETIONS! Haunted by recurring nightmares of doom, Savannah Alexander learns that the future and the past are irrevocably linked. Will she be able to save herself and the man she has grown to love from the horrors that await her back in time... on the lost continent of Atlantis?

The current Book-Of-The-Week, Past Indiscretions, is hailed on the Internet as an excellent example of Persuasive Writing: "Susanne Knight is notorious for 'romance writing with a twist.' Her novel, Past Indiscretions, is a love story that ties the past and future together that creates an impossible battle. The link provides us with more information and also her techniques of persuasive writing." Thank you, Roxanne!

Cool, eh? Also, a fan wrote to tell me how much he enjoyed Past Indiscretions because I “cleverly bring together the past and mythology.” To hear how your book touches a reader’s heart is the ultimate compliment, and all fan letters are GREATLY appreciated. :))

A cup filled with the finest wine from Poseidia!

Romance Writing With A Twist Factoid: When I was writing Past Indiscretions , I created the Colby clan with three boys and a girl. One weekend, my family met a couple with three boys and a girl in the same birth order. My daughter mentioned, "Mom, they all have the same face. It's scary!" I pounced on this sentence because it was a perfect fit, especially since my book deals with cloning.



Past Indiscretions is available for purchase through Awe-Struck http://www.awe-struck.net/ and at Fictionwise.com www.fictionwise.com/eBooks/SusanneMarieKnighteBooks.htm, among other Internet locations.

Print copies are available at amazon.com and my website at http://www.susanneknight.com/orders.htm.

My other romantic suspense novels include THE WAKEFIELD DISTURBANCE, COMPETITORS!, THE COMING, TAINTED TEA FOR TWO, and GRAVE FUTURE.

Hope you enjoy!

Living in London

Greetings! As the summer slowly comes to a close, my Living in the Romance Writing with a Twist World has me living in London for my new WIP. Living in London vicariously, of course. Oh, to really visit! But then again, the date is October 1816, where things are very much different than today...

Or are they? According to the male protagonist, in 1816 an important issue being debated concerns the rights of the individual versus the rights of the state. Hmmm!

But enough politics! (Also a sentiment of A Noble Dilemma's hero.) Currently, he finds himself strolling along the Birdcage Walk bordering St. James's Park to the south. Sounds like a delightful place with a few rare Chinese trees, the Evodia Hupehenisis,

and many exotic birds--the pelican, for one.

While surfing the net, I came across an interesting story from two years ago about a pelican (a strict fish eater) sauntering over to a flock of pigeons in St. James's Park. It then grabbed one and held the pigeon captive in its beak. Twenty minutes later, the pigeon took an involuntary trip down the pelican's throat! Yikes. I guess the pelican forgot it was only supposed to eat fish. :))

Ta-ta for now!
