Writing PAST INDISCRETIONS,
my best-selling paranormal romance, was a labor of love for me. I combined my
interest in Atlantis and past lives, along with the dilemma... or ethics... of
human cloning. The research alone was a blast! After all, who isn’t enthralled
by the mystique and allure of Atlantis? Then, to ground this suspense novel, I
set a major part of the action in my father’s hometown--a town where I spent
several summers at my grandmother’s house, just as Savannah Alexander, the
heroine, does. PAST INDISCRETIONS is near and dear to my heart.
Marketing Copy: Can you
escape your past? Or are past life issues carried over into present times? Find
out how one woman must battle an impossible enemy in PAST INDISCRETIONS.
Haunted by
recurring nightmares of doom, Savannah Alexander learns that the future and
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?
In matters of
love, Tom Patterson has been hurt before. But when overwhelming coincidences
bring Savannah back into his life, can he put aside his prejudices and act upon
faith to protect the woman he loves?

Cover artist’s first proof
The perfect human clone may be possible... back on
the island of Atlantis.
One
fan of this book wrote to tell me how much he enjoyed Past Indiscretions because I “cleverly bring together the
past and mythology.” Thank you! And as for Atlantis, well, I feel like I’ve
solved that mystery and I also suggested what then became of the survivors. Who
knows? Maybe what I proposed really happened!
Real
Life Tidbit: When I was writing Past
Indiscretions, my novel about Atlantis, past lives, and cloning, 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 as my book. 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 human cloning.
I also have to thank my
daughter for her childhood habit of always wearing socks--even in bed. I
had Savannah copy that habit and then, toward the end of the book, I showed why
she instinctively never went barefoot. It was because of a past life
experience.
Zeus
lifted a bottle the color of putrefied flesh. Although stoppered, the bottle
seemed to throw off a stench. Savannah’s nostrils pinched in response.
“Who
would believe the first step in duplicating a person is obtained through the
feet?” He roughly removed her sandals and threw them on the floor. Opening the
bottle, he then dipped in a brush and painted the bare soles of her feet.
The
odor was as she imagined, but she quickly forgot it as her feet turned cold. Slowly,
the coolness gave way to heat--searing heat. Like acid burning into her skin.
She twisted in pain, but was determined not to cry out. Even so, she bit her
lip too hard and tasted blood.
“Feels
good, eh?” He caressed her shoulder. “Just wait until Anubis begins his part of
the process!”
Past Loves, Past Lives, PAST
INDISCRETION!
I
hope you enjoy Savannah and Tom’s story.
Happy
reading,
Susanne
