Blood Rights by Kristen Painter is one of those books I’ve been meaning to pick up for ages. The first time I ran across it was in a post on unusual urban fantasy by Chelsea Mueller over at Heroes & Heartbreakers. Putting “Unusual” and “Urban Fantasy” in the same sentence is a sure way to … Continue reading

Suzanne Johnson’s Elysian Fields: Paranormal Love Zentangle
Release day is a funny thing for most authors–we’re fairly quiet, introverted people who suddenly feel the need to run all over the cyber-universe waving our hands and screaming “buy my new book!” So I did a lot of running around and screaming yesterday as ELYSIAN FIELDS made its debut, a bouncing 340-page baby filled … Continue reading

Paranormals … Living in the Real World
Should science fiction and fantasy explore real events? Should speculative fiction address tragedies recent enough to still be part of the world’s collective consciousness?

Gender Bias in Book Reviews–Are You Guilty? (I am!)
Bet you thought this was going to be a post about the recent dustup over women science fiction writers and how they just don’t get no respect. Wrong. A recent review of one of my books (Storm Force, written as Susannah Sandlin) was given two stars because, the reviewer said, “I find it amazing that … Continue reading
The RITA nominated Darkest London Series by Kristen Callihan
I was delighted to see Kristen Callihan’s books on the list of RITA nominees this spring. I’ve had my eye on them since I saw the stunning cover for Winterblaze (the third book) and this series merges my two favorite genres—historical and paranormal. When we decided to do RITA month here on Paranormal Unbound, I … Continue reading
Let’s Talk Genre TV – Grimm & Defiance
Hey there Paranormal Peeps! Lisa here… I got a strange homework assignment from my agent recently. We’re working on a new proposal and she asked me to watch more TV! LOL I have to admit, since I started down my publishing path I have become a HORRIBLE television watcher. Back in the day I watched … Continue reading

Who? Oh yeah, that’s me, Suzanne. And Susannah. Suzanne writes urban fantasy and paranormal fiction. Susannah writes dark paranormal romantic thrillers. Yeah, I kind of made that genre up. Take a thriller, stir in some romance, add a few dashes of shapeshifter…and there you have it. So I’m here to talk a little about Storm … Continue reading
What We’re Reading: Wisp of a Thing by Alex Bledsoe and #giveaway
Every once in a blue moon, if you’re lucky, you find a book that gets under your skin and burrows inside and just feels like a good book should feel (yeah, I know that’s vague but you know what I mean, you smart readers). I read one of those last year, the first in a … Continue reading
