Pitch Black Cover Revealed:
 The cover for Susan's next book, Pitch Black, is finally here! Keep an eye out for it to hit the shelves in June of 2008. Click the image or click here to see a larger version! Here's a little taste to hold you over:
A journalist and who adopted a troubled teen, Madison Wade has tackled many challenges—but never one like this. Leaving Philadelphia for a small town to give her son a better life, she's now in a tightly knit community that won't accept her big-city ways and Ethan's less-than-perfect past. When finally, he's invited on a camping trip, it turns into a nightmare – and Ethan is suspected of a violent crime.
Sheriff Gabe Wyatt doesn't want to believe this kid is guilty. He’s falling in love with Ethan's beautiful, sophisticated, and generous mother, the first woman who has ever awakened the tender side of this tough lawman. But he can’t ignore evidence, even if it keeps him from getting close to the woman he longs to protect, even if it drives this fierce mother to find the criminal herself. Then one terrible night, the villain will find her... and Maddie Wade will come face-to-face with her darkest fears.
"Pitch Black is a superbly woven suspense that sucks you in and doesn't let go. Susan Crandall is a master storyteller whose characters never fail to touch your heart." – Karen Rose, author of Die For Me
From Susan:
I've just begun to recover from celebrating the RITA nomination of ON BLUE FALLS POND, my recent deadline for ABSOULTE DARKNESS (working title) on July 9th , and a wonderful RWA National Conference in Dallas. Already it's time to get moving on my next novel, which is due on my editor's desk December 15th. I'm currently crafting the hoops I'm going to make my next set of characters jump through and am enjoying every minute. It's such fun to throw roadblocks between people and their happy ending... am I in need of psychological counseling because I think that way? Perhaps.
Things in my "real life" have been just as eventful and exciting. My son was married at the end of June (check out photos in the photos section) to the lovely new "Mrs. Crandall". Ahhh, romance. The wedding was fabulous and we had a house full of visiting family - which was too fun for words. My new DIL posted a message on my myspace page from Mrs. Crandall and I actually wondered who it was from before I opened it. I guess I'm a little slow making the adjustment. When I hear Mrs. Crandall, I still look for my husband's mother. Time it does march on -- sometimes dragging us along in the dust as it does!
Be sure and check back, I'll be posting excerpts and the new book cover as soon as it's available. For those of you who don't know, authors quite often only see their covers when they're nearly finished. The wait can be a real nail-biter!
Here's to summer and love!

From Susan:
As I'm settling in for some serious work on my next book during these cold winter days, you can pour yourself some hot chocolate (preferably with lots of marshmallows) and curl up with a good book. May I suggest, A KISS IN WINTER? It's the perfect way to lose yourself, forgetting the driveway that needs to be shoveled, the frost that will need to be scraped from your car windshield tomorrow morning, the way that your toes turn numb when you go to the mailbox... well, I need torture you no more. Reading A KISS IN WINTER is guaranteed to banish the chill and warm your heart.
As with all of my books, A KISS IN WINTER is an emotional rollercoaster, but this one is edged with a bit more suspense. This book combines a family drama and a love story with a foray into a dangerous and vindictive mind.
