NEW YORK TIMES Bestselling Author Susan Stec loves her Cavalier Buddy, that first sip of AM coffee, the sound her keyboard makes when she's on a roll, 70's rock, chocolate (lots of chocolate), iced mocha, and getting lost in worlds where myth and legend are reality. Her characters are always humorous, usually crazy, and, well, snarky. Oh, and they swear a lot. But don't hold that against them. They mean well...most of the time.

The same with dialogue, action, humor, romance. Reading pushes me to develop my own stories, and that drives my need to write again. (less)

message 32: by Susan

Susan Stec I give this whole series 5 stars. It's my favorite Young Adult series. I was memorized by the concept from book one.

Relationships, family, friends, love, pain—there is always pain—and a driving hunger for answers come together in a powerful conclusion that is sure to change the lives of Zander, Van, and everyone who knows them in the next episode of SOMEONE WICKED THIS WAY COMES.

I will be waiting, but not so patiently :)
