Spring break is over!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! The grubby little bastards, I mean MY BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN, have gone back to school. I will celebrate by watching grown-up TV shows, eating chocolate for lunch, and going to the bathroom with the door open.

My April Newsletter is here! Check it out. And if you’re not on my newsletter list, please use the subscribe button in the sidebar to join! I only send a newsletter when I have a book out, maybe two or three times a year, so you won’t be inundated with Suzanne Spam and you can keep up with when my books are hitting the shelves. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!

Azalea buds are opening up here in North Carolina! What are the signs of spring in your area?

"Lamb-y, then whammy! Get some tickets to Miami! Snow is easing, but we're still freezing. It may be spring by the astronomer, but not by the thermometer. Mighty fine, then leonine."
