New release!

So tomorrow is the big day! My Christmas novella compilation releases October 1st. But you know what? It's probably already sitting on a Wal-Mart shelf near you today! They typically stock early, my Wal-Mart had several copies two days ago. Woohoo! Exciting times.

I'm having a booksigning at Barnes & Noble in my city this weekend, Saturday the 2nd at 6:00 p.m. for anyone local wanting to come get a signed copy and say hi! I'll be hosting a Christmas ornament giveaway (a gingerbread house in honor of my story!) and I can't wait to spread some Christmas cheer. I know it's only barely October, but it's time to get in the spirit! No reason why we can't mix candy pumpkins with a few Christmas carols, is there? ;)

In the meantime, you can pre-order this novel on Amazon or CBD...or wait until October 1st and pick it up in a Barnes & Noble, Borders, Wal-Mart, or better yet - all 3! haha. I also appreciate any loyal fans requesting their libraries to order copies. Don't forget to ask your church library too!

Merry Christmas! :)

It's official...

It's official. Little Miss is a card carrying, certified member of the LIBRARY system! That's right, this past Saturday I took her to get her very first library card. She was ecstatic. She's always treated books really well, knows to be gentle, etc. She loves books, loves me reading to her, and at 2 years and 2 months old, is already trying to read by holding up the book and jabbering or describing the pictures with real sentences and phrases or making up her own version of what's happening. She even sometimes uses different voices like she's heard me do! =)

It was good timing for the card, because she's seen several library episodes on her cartoon shows lately about libraries. (Dora the Explorer, Blue's Clues and Team Umizoomi, etc.) So she knew exactly what we were doing and couldn't wait. The whole drive there she kept pumping her fist in the air and shouting "TO THE LIBEEEERRRRY!!!!"

Here's some pics of the big moment. PS - we came home with THIRTEEN books. haha.

White Picket Fences by Susan Meissner

I finished this book last night, and WOW. I'm a big fan of Susan's and this book didn't fail to deliver ! I highly recommend.

Here's the blurb:

When her black sheep brother disappears, Amanda Janvier eagerly takes in her sixteen year-old niece. Tally is practically an orphan: motherless, and living with a father who raises Tally wherever he lands– in a Buick, a pizza joint, a horse farm–and regularly takes off on wild schemes. Amanda envisions that she and her family can offer the girl stability and a shot at a “normal” life, even though their own storybook lives are about to crumble.

Here's what others are saying about White Picket Fences...

"White Picket Fences is a beautiful, yet haunting portrayal of what lies beneath a seemingly perfect suburban family. Susan Meissner’s powerful storytelling woos the reader into the lives of flawed, needy characters, making us ache with them, rejoice with them. Meissner deftly weaves old and new, producing a seamless, satisfying and enduring story.” ~ Mary DeMuth, author of Daisy Chain and A Slow Burn

“Writing as incandescent as pure flame. Susan Meissner delivers again with a family story that wraps you up and stays with you long after the last page.” ~ James Scott Bell, bestselling author of Deceived and Try Fear

Buy your copy at AMAZON, CBD or B&N! =) And don't wait!!
