Hey There, 2 Things
One, with regret, I have to inform you that 'Here Be Sexist Vampires' won't be included in the 'Tall, Dark and Supernatural Anthology'. The electronic size of the anthology was much too big, so myself and another author - Kendall Grey - volunteered to pull out. I still urge you all to buy the anthology as the authors featured in it are very talented people.
Two...it's happened again. Someone illegally copied one of my books onto a website, only changing the characters' names, and claimed it was theirs. Not only is it devastating, but it's scary because if this has happened to me twice when I have only written 7 books, the law of probability says this kind of copyright infringement is common. That's definitely a scary thought.
Even scarier, I might never have known about this if it hadn't been for a fanfiction reader who found it suspicious that the names in the story kept changing from Rachel to Jaxxon, and Noah to Connor. A google search of the names Jaxxon and Connor led her to my website, and I now worship this woman. So please, if anyone has, or ever does, find themselves a little suspicious like that, don't ignore it.
Take care all,
S :)

I wait for your books with little patience and I grab them the day they come out (hint for Phoenix Pack?:)). So if I see something that looks like plagarism, I will report it to the author (if I can contact them) and Amazon. And I will put up a review in GR and Amazon that the book is a blatent copy.

Thank you!! Much appreciated :)The fourth in the Phoenix Pack should be released sometime around Spring 2015
That's too slow! What will I do while I wait? :)
This is unbelievable! Although, if someone is going to steal a story I can see why they would take yours, they are so amazing!! The people that do this know that they are not authors which means it's all about the cash. I'm sorry this has happened to you, again Suzanne and please don't let it frustrate you to bad.

It's robbery, plain and simple - and when you get robbed, you feel violated.
Oh, that is so awful-if you find that person, sue them for everything they've got
