Saturday Special: My New Book Is Out!!

This is a special Saturday post for you because I’m so happy–my second short story collection, Dark Nocturnes is officially released, thanks to Jane Cornwell and JC Studio Press! Here again is the synopsis:

Step into the shadows and explore the hidden corners of existence in Suzanne Craig-Whytock’s captivating collection Dark Nocturnes, where ordinary lives intertwine with extraordinary circumstances, where the line between reality and fantasy blurs with each turn of the page. Wander through the echoing corridors of old manor houses and deep forests, explore hidden rooms and cavernous antique markets, dance with menacing marionettes and life-size dolls. Lyrical, haunting, and occasionally humorous, Dark Nocturnes is a collection of thirty-two stories that explore joy and sorrow, gratitude and grief, and hatred and desire. Open the cover, feast on the stories inside…and if you’re lucky, Mr. Death just might show up for dessert.

If this sounds like something you want to read, the link to order is below! Now here’s the background leading up to this momentous occasion as well as a special offer from me to make you famous.

As a few of you may know, my previous short story publisher, Potter’s Grove Press, suddenly announced last January out of the blue that they were dissolving and unpublishing their titles, including my collection, At The End Of It All. It was devastating, to say the least. But once I got over the shock, I realized that I had an opportunity–to take some of the stories out of At The End Of It All to form the basis for the novella I just finished writing (Nomads of the Modern Wasteland), and add NEW stories to the collection. So I did, and Jane Cornwell graciously agreed to not only publish it under her imprint, JC Studio Press, but to create this absolutely stunning cover. It’s a full collection of 32 short stories with a foreword by the incomparable Steven Baird, (author of Ordinary Handsome and Asunder, Baby), and it’s now available for purchase. And here’s the bonus: I’m working on a new novel project (the one I got the grant to write), so if you buy Dark Nocturnes, I’ll name a character in it AFTER YOU and let you choose how your character DIES (because my new book is a humorous murder mystery). Fame has never been so inexpensive!
