Enhanced by Robert P. Beus and S.T. Ranscht

Exciting times ahead.

We are re-submitting our YA scifi novel, ENHANCED, to an agent at her request. It’s been a long road from her insightful critique to the refined story we offer now, and we couldn’t be more proud. We hope you’ll wish us luck and send positive thoughts our way.

If you’re curious about the actual story of ENHANCED, you can read the first 3 chapters at the Inkshares link. If you’d like to support us, please feel free to share this post with everyone you know! Thanks and enjoy!

Since the beginning of language, there have been storytellers.

“Hey, do you mind if I tell you a story? One you might…

Having survived valve repair surgery and an experimental cardiac bypass at age 5, three years before it was an accepted medical procedure, Susan grew into the size of her overworked and enlarged heart. Maybe she thought she had enough to give it away -- twice. Both times, she had to retrieve the shattered pieces and puzzle them back together. She thanks her Dad for the only advice of his she ever followed to the letter: "Never get married. Learn to take care of yourself." So of course she is a writer. Susan has co-written a YA SciFi novel, and has three more novels in various stages of evolution. She's had several short stories published in other people's anthologies, some of which were contest-related. Let her tell you a story...

    1. Thank you, dear friend. We’re hoping the journey will be swift and joyful, but we’re creating personal rejection celebrations for those other possibilities. 😉

      With that major project out of my hands for 90 days, I finally feel there’s time again to attend to everyone else’s writing, lol. I’m back. ❤
