New Susan Crandall Website

August 17, 2013 By Susan Crandall Web Admin 2 Comments

New Susan Crandall Author WebsiteWelcome to the new and improved Susan Crandall Author Website! We have all the same old stuff, and will be adding more ad time goes on, all with a great new look and feel.

The change was forced in part by the success of Whistling Past the Graveyard and the increased traffic it has brought to SusanCrandall.net. The increased attention has been great for the most part, but as always, a few bad apples can ruin the bunch. With the increased traffic, the website became much more appetizing for internet spammers who sent their bots to sign up for user accounts to try to bombard all of our good readers with their less-than-appropriate advertising messages. We’ve bee able to keep it off the site, but was becoming a fairly time intensive process to do so. So we upgraded! Now they should be stopped automatically (for the most part) from even signing up for an account.

Unfortunately, in the change, we lost most of the user profiles we previously had. If you’re among those who lost their profile, we truly apologize, and ask that you take a few moments to sign up for a new account, or simply start signing in using one of your social network accounts like Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads or Google Plus (does anyone use Google Plus?).

So welcome, and we hope you participate in the conversation as the buzz surrounding Whistling Past the Graveyard continues to grow!

The site is still under construction, so if you have any problems or suggestions for things you’d like to see, please send a message to content@susancrandall.net.

12 Book End Interview with Susan Crandall

July 23, 2013 By Susan Crandall Web Admin Leave a Comment

12 Book End12 Book End, a fantastic bookish website, has an interview with Susan Crandall from way before anyone knew her… All the way back to June of 2013. It’s a great read, so if you want to know a little more about Whistling Past the Graveyard and her author, click on over to 12 Book End!

Excerpt:
“FIRSTLY, I’D LOVE TO KNOW IF YOU’RE AWARE OF OR HAVE EVER PARTICIPATED IN NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH (NANOWRIMO.ORG)? IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST EXPOSURE TO IT, WHAT ARE YOUR IMPRESSIONS?

[Susan Crandall] I’m very aware of NaNoWriMo.org. I think it’s a great idea and have several writer friends who participate almost every year. I however am the least disciplined writer on the planet. The mood has to be right for me to be productive at all. And no matter how hard I try, I simply cannot move on to a new chapter until I have my current chapter fine-tuned and polished. So NaNoWriMo is so far out of my comfort zone that I don’t even attempt it.

I would love to be able to hammer out all of the major aspects of a book in 30 days, but so much of my storytelling springs organically from my writing process.” [read more]
