Fame!
Had a fun thing happen this week. Our son is a paramedic and another paramedic from another area ran into him in a hospital waiting area and asked if he was any relation to Susan Cartwright the author?
Chris said I was his mother. The man then raved about my books and demanded the third book to be written, and said he wants a signed 1st edition of the first two.
Made my day and surprised my boy, who now has a much higher opinion of his mum!

Hey George, thank you so much. I have been following your comments as you read it. Are you still reading it to your wife?OMG I LOVE my bad guy. He is just so bad, but I think him believable.
How did I come up with him? Humm. I used to work for some years as a nurse in the jail system in Australia (spelled gaol here). Let me just say, I have worked with some bad people and heard some bad stories.
All my work and life experiences are in my books in some way or another, particularly my knowledge of mental health, what people go through, and how they survive and how they come close to breaking. I suspect that anyone who gets to fifty and denies having at least one break down is a liar.
Ah well, this is a long answer to your question George, but I am soooo happy you "get" my book. I went the way of multiple POV, which some readers can't manage, but I figured if George R. Martin, "The Game Of Thrones" author can do it I can too. I love multiple POV as you can see. Susan
Your boy has very well-deserved bragging rights regarding his Mum! I read every night when I go to bed. I read from 11:00 pm until 1:30 am. I'm a night hawk. Always have been. (Night shifts while nursing at the hospital.) I cannot wait to get into bed with 'Wolf Dawn'!!
Thanks Gayle my fellow nurse! Night shift. Yech! But I am a bit of a night owl myself.
I can understand his enthusiasm for your books.
I'm in chapter 8 of "Wolf Dawn" and realy getting into it. I can hardly put it down, anxiously looking forward to the next page. How in the world did you come up with such a dispicable person as Admiral Jones, he makes me want to jump into the book and torture him for awhile.
Your son has a good reason to be proud of his Mum! Good writing Susan.
