Last day to get my books free (for all E-readers)

Posted on March 11, 2017 by Susannah J. Bell

Posted on December 2, 2013 by Susannah J. Bell

Once, in another era, another epoch, when there could not be time, where there could not be space, in a universe that existed in conjunction with the cosmos but was not subject to its linear decay, games were played by … Continue reading →

Flesh for Sale almost ready for publication!

Posted on November 27, 2013 by Susannah J. Bell

Six months before my mother died, she turned to me and said bluntly,  “I’m never going to read your novels.”  Naturally I was horrified and protested vociferously but of course she was right:  I’d failed utterly to get myself published … Continue reading →
