General

"The better you are to people, the kinder you are, the more you open yourself up for disappointment and heartache by putting yourself out there. Be kind anyway and develop a really thick skin...." Destiny Blaine

I don’t have time to Google myself anymore and pretty much stopped Googling my pen names a long time ago. You can’t believe half the stuff you find on the internet so I’m grounded for life. No more Googling here. I started to believe everything posted about my pseudonyms and well shucks, one day I was high on life and the next day, mourning my own funeral. Besides, my children are online all the time. If they see something interesting for any of my pen names, they’ll let me know. Generally, it starts out with something like, “OMG! MOM! YOU DIDN’T!” It’s the only revenge a parent-writer has on their teenagers…Google.

Music

“Your smile is contagious, but it’s not your smile I’m worried about. Sometimes, when I look at you, I’m forced to turn away. If I don’t, I’ll lose myself in your eyes. If I slip up and disappear there once, the consequences could be irrevocable. So I look away for now and hope when I don’t, you will at least blink….” Destiny Blaine

Movies

"Life is too short for games and drama. This ain’t Dallas and it sure as shootin’ ain’t Dynasty either, but by golly we’re headed someplace better. Those who are with us are gonna have the time of their lives and those who aren't, well we’re gonna miss ya and we’ll send you a postcard….” Anonymous

“If your spouse must know where you are every waking hour then you’re not in a marriage, you’re imprisoned and eventually you’ll want to break free….”

TelevisionOne Tree Hill

The Unit

American Idol

CSI Miami

That's about it. Television is a waste of productive time.

"When things are perfect, that's when you need to worry most..." Drew Barrymore

"I am proud of what I have got and I need an audience..." Farrah Fawcett

If you write one story, it may be bad; if you write a hundred, you have the odds in your favor..."- Edgar Rice Burroughs

"A writer never has a vacation. For a writer life consists of either writing or thinking about writing..." - Eugene Ionesco

"Every writer is a narcissist. This does not mean that he is vain; it only means that he is hopelessly self-absorbed..." Leo Rosten

"The only reason for being a professional writer is that you just can't help it..." - Leo Rosten

"Writing is not a profession but a vocation of unhappiness..." - Georges Simenon

"The first chapter sells the book; the last chapter sells the next book..." - Mickey Spillane

"I may know better but I'll still write it..." Destiny Blaine

Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost how it feels about dogs..." Christopher Hampton

"I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it..." Audrey Hepburn

“Oh Lord, yes, I write the hot stuff, but I don’t put my name on the covers or my life within the pages.”

“I am just too much…” Bette Davis

A woman isn't complete without a man. But where do you find a man - a real man - these days?"..... Lauren Bacall

"When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging." -Will Rogers

"Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul...." Marilyn Monroe “Forget love - I'd rather fall in chocolate!” ~Sandra J. Dykes

"Life is full of crossroads. Most of the time I feel like part of me went left, the other headed right...."

Imagination is the highest kite one can fly..." Lauren Bacall

"He who hesitates is a damned fool..." Mae West “When a man gives his opinion he's a man. When a woman gives her opinion she's a bitch….” Bette Davis

“I love the fast lane” –Eva Gabor

"There's a person behind the words, regardless of whether they are spoken or written. However, there's a big difference in those that are creatively written. Keep that in mind before you judge a book by its cover..." Destiny Blaine

"I want to be paid enough so I never have to act my age...." Destiny Blaine If a man is truly in love, the most beautiful woman in the world couldn't take him away. Maybe for a few days, but not forever. –Eva Gabor

"You can be a little ungrammatical if you come from the right part of the country..." Robert Frost

Any time you've got nothing to do and lots of time to do it come on up....Mae West

It's all make believe, isn't it? ... Marilyn Monroe

Why am I so good at playing bitches? I think it's because I'm not a bitch. Maybe that's why Miss Crawford always plays ladies...Bette Davis

I do not regret one professional enemy I have made. Any actor who doesn't dare to make an enemy should get out of the business...Bette Davis

A good editor understands what you're talking and writing about and doesn't meddle too much....Irwin Shaw

The writer works in a lonely way....Irwin Shaw

Most people don't need to work as hard as I do. –Eva Gabor

“I never believe my best or my worst reviews. If I fall into the trap of believing the best, then there’s nothing to look forward to and if I believe the worst? I’d have to edit my thoughts for malicious content so it’s better to say, ‘I never believe my best or my worst reviews’ and move on from there” Anonymous

"To be with the same person for the rest of your life just sounds so drab." Eva Longoria

"I'm sure there are a lot of people who think I'm a bitch." Demi Moore

"Enemies are so stimulating." Katharine Hepburn

"Never complain. Never explain."Katharine Hepburn

“I began my career as a ghost writer. I seldom talk about my books, or even how many I’ve written because I have a horrible memory. I’m not quite sure which ones I can speak out about and which ones are under contract with written promises to swear off all rights and any fair claim..."

"If you're "real people" then we'll be friends for a lifetime."

"The older I get, the less I care what other people think..." Anonymous

"It's doggone tacky to whisper about someone right in front of them and pretend they're too stupid to know what you're doing. If you've got something to say, have a backbone. Stare the person in the eye and let it rip. Folks who wag their tongues within earshot of someone with malicious intent are in a class of their own...and it's not exactly the upper echelon, if you know what I mean...." Anonymous

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind..." Dr. Seuss

“When you’re thirty you’re old enough to know better, but still young enough to go ahead and do it..."Brigitte Bardot

“I don't believe in guilt, I believe in living on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person, and don't judge people in your life. I think you should live completely free….”Angelina Jolie

"People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing." — Dale Carnegie

""Reading is sexy!"" — Orlando Bloom

“I'd like to have money. And I'd like to be a good writer. These two can come together, and I hope they will, but if that's too adorable, I'd rather have money.” –Dorothy Parker

"I never had a problem going after what I want. Sometimes it just takes me a little longer to get it simply because I’m more interested in the journey, the experiences along the way—the kind of things I never wanted to blink and miss..."Destiny Blaine

“Forget the boys, darlin’, there’s more to life than boys and more joys found in them all the way around once they become true men. That’s what you want, those who are worth the wait and worthy of you because you waited…” Destiny Blaine

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone." — Bill Cosby

"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." — Oscar Wilde

"This is the first time I've tried out the mom-gig. I'm going to make mistakes but darlin', they probably won't compare to those you'll make as a teenager." -Anon. “I survived because I was tougher than anybody else….” Bette Davis

“I don’t read my books after they’re in print. I tried to do it once and couldn’t move past the first chapter. When reading the hot romances I’ve written, I always find it hard to believe I wrote the love scenes in the book and when it’s in black and white, it’s real. I don’t mix well with reality. It's why I live behind the scenes and love it behind closed doors."

“This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force…” Dorothy Parker

“Authors and actors and artists and such - Never know nothing, and never know much….” Dorothy Parker

“You become a writer because you need to become a writer - nothing else” -- Grace Paley

“In America, only the successful writer is important, in France all writers are important, in England no writer is important, and in Australia you have to explain what a writer is” -- Geoffrey Cottrell

“Whoever gossips to you will gossip about you” ~Spanish Proverb

“Teenagers complain there's nothing to do, then stay out all night doing it” ~Bob Phillips

“To find out a girl's faults, praise her to her girlfriends” ~Benjamin Franklin

“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you” ~Ray Bradbury

“Easy reading is damn hard writing” Nathaniel Hawthorne

“There is nothing wrong with today's teenager that twenty years won't cure” ~Author Unknown

Heroes"Friendship doesn’t have age barriers. Some of my best friends are much older or quite a bit younger and they’re all treasured just the same..."

Brent, Matthew, Amber, Bert, Alex, Ben, Anna-Marie, and Hannah are my heroes. There are several young people that have forever impacted my life by the little things they say and do. I won't call them out as heroes for fear they wouldn't want the public recognition but they know they're special and impact my life in a positive way.

About me:

"I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful...."Marilyn Monroe

Hey there, thanks for stopping by. I’m Susan Alvis, a writer of non-fiction, young adult, sweet and hot romances and general fiction books. I write under several pseudonyms just to keep things chaotic.

Blessed with a husband who claims to love me ;)) and two teenagers who are perfect (right), I'm a stay-at-home, mom-writer. Like most folks, I have a few addictions—music, books, and blueberry yogurt. A few bad habits—staying up all night (to write, of course), leaving town on the spur of the moment just because there's someplace better to go and there are probably a few others.

My entire family loves NFL and college football. We will sit in more stadiums this year than in years past because my son and daughter will make sure of it. Like most teens, they like to stay on the go.

Currently, my 'pen names' have best sellers at BookStrand, ARE, Mobipocket, Amazon, Borders, and Barnes&Noble.

All of my books are available online through Borders, B&N, Amazon, ARE, Fictionwise, and other 3rd party venues. Books are available in print and sometimes, e-book formats. As a leading bookseller, Amazon seems to stock my titles first.

A 2010 signing tour is planned for one of my pseudonyms so if you own a small bookstore or manage a larger one and would like more information, please drop a message through MySpace. I’ll send you the details. For those of you in Las Vegas (Don, Jen, and everyone else), I'll see you in August and can't wait to get there. I'm there already.

Family, football, friends, and fun...that's me in a nutshell. Now, tell me about you.

Thank you for visiting me on MySpace.

Susan Smith Alvis

Who I'd like to meet:
God, Elvis, Jesse James, Billy the Kid, John Wayne, Janis Joplin, and many who have gone before us. Among the living? I've met pretty much anyone and everyone I've ever wanted to meet but realize there's probably someone out there who will eventually change my mind. Ah yeah, I forgot one--there is one man alive I want to meet soon--Danny Gokey. Good heavens, I love his...glasses.
