December 2022 Projects

Featured

At present I’m pitching my science fiction romance, SPACE FOR US, to agents looking for SFR. [Blinded by a deafening heartbeat whenever he’s near, a dangerous alien empath can’t read the emotions of an astronaut—a new model android?—tasked with killing her if she misbehaves on the way to her people’s moonbase.]

  1. Bringing dark-phase albinos into the mix, once again, the contemporary BROKEN HALLELUJAH is getting its final edit/polish and will soon be pitched this coming spring 2023. [Fire chief and Navy SEAL, dark-skinned Cameron Young suffers from PTSD and his unrequited love of Dr. Alice Uhuru, a light-skinned emergency physician with his fire crew. Her rare genetics, a cause for international intrigue, as her expat Tanzanian parents are put in danger.]
  2. From LEGENDS OF THE GOLDENS SERIES, both FORBIDDEN PLAYGROUND and DANCING DRAGONS are getting new covers and polishes before being combined and published with prequels A FAR FAR BETTER THING and LOVE ME, BITE ME. [Goldens are dark-phase albino space aliens that live in their conjured snow country of the Arctic. They attempt to hybridize Tanzanian humans with their offspring in order to produce subsequent generations that can psychically manipulate their worlds without the exhaustion that normally follows such activities.]

FLY LIKE AN EAGLE just out today

Fly Like An Eagle just  out today and it’s already in Amazon’s top 100 for STEAMPUNK.

A coming of age for tomboy Samantha, as she flies with Eagle across an American river valley in his hang glider–to avoid betrothal to his father. Meet Ben Franklin, H.G.Wells, and Amelia Earhart with a little romance thrown in.

Update:

Hoarder Followup

Though I find myself hanging in there with the housework, even though I have loads of writing and editing to do everyday, I’d rather get my readers interested in how my writing life is going–what I’m learning–than talking about household organization, no matter how important that is.

So, here goes my umteenth incarnation as a blogger:

Right now, I’m hoping I hear something from the agents and editors I pitched to at RWA Nationals, that is, before I self-publish the two novels in my Ages of Invention Series. 

Have all the covers for the two novels ready to go. I just need to start handing out advanced reader copies for review.

And I’m anxious to finish my WIP space opera, to get to working on a young adult science fiction novella.

I’ve never enjoyed history more than that in the novels of my critique partners, and because of my background in science, I’d like to learn as much as I can about the way people thought about science throughout history. That’s what led to the writing of my historical science fictions.

The Union of Opposites website (theunionofopposites.com) explores different kinds of consciousness that I use in my stories. The site is philosophical and built on my published experiments, but it helps me create a new world of thought for my future novels.

That’s all for now. I’ll keep  you posted. 

Thanks for looking in,

S.B.K. Burns (Susan)

This book sets the good-guy vampires against the bad-guy vamps, and maybe some undecided vampires in between.

Yes, folks, it’s a romance, but . . .

Goldens, unlike the bad-guy vamps, make love with their fangs — not war!
