Mindjack Flash Fiction: Leaving Gurnee
I'm excited to announce the re-release of my short story Mind Games as a single![cover:Mind Games|14059393]
Raf, a regular mindreader, is in love with Kira, the only girl in school who can't read minds. Raf struggles to keep his thoughts about her private, but secrets are something that only zeros like Kira can keep. As he works up the nerve to ask Kira to the mindware Games, his friends have other games in mind for him.
(Mind Games is a short story prequel to my novel Open Minds. It was previously released as part of the In His Eyes Anthology with sixteen fellow Indelibles.)
PRAISE FOR MIND GAMES
"I loved Kira in Open Minds ... but getting Raf's POV in Mind Games was a real treat." -TwiMom101 Book Blogger
“Raf is perfectly drool worthy, but shows kindness and loyalty to his friend, the girl of his dreams ... this is a tantalizing tidbit that makes the reader want more! And more is what you can have ... read more of Raf and Kira’s trials and victories in Open Minds by Susan Kaye Quinn.” - Indie Writers Review
Available for $0.99 at Amazon and Barnes and Noble or FREE at Smashwords (which has formats for all e-readers).
Mind Games is the first in a series of five planned shorts, called Mindjack Origins: stories that look at characters in the Mindjack Trilogy universe before they make their debut in the series. Raf's story takes place a few months before Open Minds begins. The other four short stories will explore the origins of characters from the upcoming Closed Hearts novel, and will take place between Open Minds and Closed Hearts. I'll be writing these shorts in between drafts of Free Souls and releasing them throughout the year. Tentative titles...

I've started working on Free Souls ... more information at the Mindjack website (www.mindjacktrilogy.com).
I've just released Closed Hearts, the sequel to my paranormal/science fiction novel Open Minds!
When you control minds, only your heart can be used against you.
Eight months ago, Kira Moore revealed to the mindreading world that mindjackers like herself were hidden in their midst. Now she wonders if telling the truth was the right choice after all. As wild rumors spread, a powerful anti-jacker politician capitalizes on mindreaders' fears and strips jackers of their rights. While some jackers flee to Jackertown--a slum rife with jackworkers who trade mind control favors for cash--Kira and her family hide from the readers who fear her and jackers who hate her. But when a jacker Clan member makes Kira's boyfriend Raf collapse in her arms, Kira is forced to save the people she loves by facing the thing she fears most: FBI agent Kestrel and his experimental torture chamber for jackers.

REVIEWS
"YA readers who love authors like Ally Condie, Veronica Roth, Lauren Oliver and others would be missing out if they failed to pick up Open Minds by Susan Kaye Quinn. Join Kira on her journey to save her fellow mindjackers and potentially change the landscape of her world forever."
-- Danielle Smith, book blogger at There's a Book
"This is really a great followup to Open Minds. It's exciting, it advances the plot, it's heartbreaking, it perfectly sets up the next book, and it pushes Kira into the position of heroine once again ... whether she wants to be, or not." - Rhiannon Frater, author of As The World Dies
To celebrate, I'm hosting a virtual party on my blog.

Yes, maybe, yes and yes. Oh, and definitely yes to that last one. :) I'm also working on a prequel short-story to come out for Valentine's day in the Indelible's Anthology In His Eyes...just to hold you over! :)
:) That's good to hear!
Thanks for being excited for Closed Hearts!! I've had some people really like the lingo and others have a hard time with it. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts!
:) Thanks for the vote of confidence!
Thanks Kelly! I'm struggling with a plot point today, so I appreciate the inspiration.
