I am proud to announce the release of my first published book, "Small Wonders."  I am 51 years old, married to my husband of 27 years with 2 adult children and 7 1/2 grandchildren (4 of which are bonus grands). 

Several years ago, while playing with one of my grand babies, I believe the Lord inspired me with this unusual story.  After many sleepless nights, the story began to grow and take shape.  It was sort of like when you get a song stuck in your head and it won’t go away.  I wasn't sure what to do with it, when my husband, Mickey, suggested that I start writing the ideas down in a journal next to my bed, and I did.  Before I knew it, I was writing my first novel. 

I didn't know the first thing about writing a book, but I did it.  It is such a feeling of accomplishment.  Book two is already in the works.  If you would like to read it, you can order a copy at www.susiebrown.net. 

It is also available in e-book form.

And here is the press release. 

An Island Filled With Small Wonder 

New book tells an engaging tale that will test readers’ faith and keep them guessing. 

Southaven, MS – (Release Date TBD) – Born into a life of wealth and privilege, Waid is the single heir to the Carroll family fortune. He is only twenty-one when his parents die in a terrible car accident. Needing to collect his thoughts and grieve in solitude, he goes to his private haven only to discover that he is not alone on his island. Readers can find out what Small Wonders he has found in this engaging tale by Susie Brown. 

When Waid stumbles upon the unlikely existence of very small people, living deep in the forest of his island, he abandons his wealthy life to stay on the island and protect them from the outside world. After years of living a peaceful life together, Tina, one of the village teenagers accidentally ends up on the mainland alone. During Waid’s desperate quest to find Tina, she inadvertently finds herself in the home of a woman who collects dollhouses, some of which are just Tina’s size. Bev finds a way to get her tiny new friend home, and a complex relationship develops between her and Waid as they work together to provide a new way of life for the islanders and themselves. 

Small Wonders is a refreshingly clean tale that provides emotional discoveries, uncharted adventures with the lure of possible romance. This imaginatively creative story introduces many delightful characters that readers will fall in love with.  The many twists and turns will test their faith while keeping them guessing all the way to the end.

This story is a great read for all ages.  Hope you enjoy!!! 

Sincerely,
Susie Brown
