At some point over the last decade or so, you went to my website and signed up to receive my newsletter. Then, nothing happened. Sometimes for months and even years!
Perhaps you read one or more of my novels and went to my website to find out more about me.
Maybe it was the Temple Secrets trilogy (Temple Secrets, Gullah Secrets, and Tea Leaf Secrets) or the Wildflower trilogy (The Secret Sense of Wildflower, Lily’s Song, and Daisy’s Fortune). Or one of my stand-alone novels like Trueluck Summer, Circle of the Ancestors, and Grace, Grits, and Ghosts: Southern short stories.
Or maybe you stumbled upon me after reading a Facebook Author post (Susan Gabriel, Author) or someone recommended my books. Whatever the reason, I welcome you to my newsletter, and I am thrilled that you found me.
While I’ve written dozens of longer works over the last three decades in the form of novels and family sagas, I also love to create shorter pieces—bits and bobs— that inspire me, spark my imagination, and make me laugh, which will hopefully inspire you, too. Quotes, images, and writings that I created along the way as I’ve been living a deeply creative life. This is what this substack newsletter is about.
This newsletter is free unless you choose to upgrade to being a paid subscriber for $5 a month. It’s kind of like a tip jar sitting on a piano if you enjoy the experience. But also a bit extra. Free subscribers will receive one email a week. Paid subscribers will receive an additional weekly post that is more personal. 😮
Stick around. Try it for a month or two and see what you think.
Thank you for being on this new journey with me. May this year, 2023, be deeply creative for all of us.
With every good wish,
Susan
