The opening act

Books and music. What more does one need in life?

Well, a publishing deal would be nice, so I'm busy submitting Trevor's Song to literary agents as we speak. The first in a proposed loose series set in and around the fictional city of Riverview, USA, you can read all about Trevor's Song by clicking on the book title anywhere on this page.

Who am I, you ask? Well, have a look around the site. I'm Susan Helene Gottfried, a woman whose twin passions of books and music come together in my fiction. If you'd like a taste of it, check out the outtakes and other fun fictional facts about the people of Riverview that have been posted over at my blog. That's where my groupies hang out with me, a not-so-exclusive meet-and-greet. In other words, there's plenty of room for you.

Some of those groupies have nominated, voted, and given a host of awards to the blog and West of Mars. Others have gone even further and created and contributed some fan fiction for the world of Trevor's Song.

It's my hope that soon, we'll have good news for you, so check back here often. In the meantime, be sure to invite your friends to visit and get to know Trevor, Mitchell, Kerri, and all the rest.

Rock on, but don't forget to read, too!
