Hi! I'm Heather Sunseri. I'm too old to be an FBI agent, so I create bad ass heroines and pretend to be them by writing romantic suspense. Want to know more about the stuff I write or about me? Check out the links above.

COVER REVEAL: A Thief Revealed (International Thief Book One) and a Giveaway

I have bad news and good news this fine Tuesday morning.

Bad News: I do not have a chapter of A Crimson Homecoming for you today. I’m very sorry about that, but I simply had to reprioritize my writing tasks this past week, and I ran out of time to write a new chapter for A Crimson Homecoming because I was finishing A Thief Revealed.

Good News: I have a fabulous cover and blurb reveal to share,…

A Crimson Homecoming: Romantic Suspense Serial, Part I

Every once in a while a story idea comes to me that I simply don’t have time to write. At the same time, that amazing story idea won’t let go of me. That’s exactly what happened while I was helping my father move out of my childhood home recently. I spent a couple of weeks in the small town I grew up in, and every day, I kept thinking about a couple of characters and a storyline that didn’t…

Favorite Things: Childhood Memories, Bullet Journals, and Barbara Freethy’s Perilous Trust

6 Ways to Bring the Settings of Novels to Life

6 Ways to Bring the Settings of Novels to Life

I’ve been researching the setting for a new book/series I’m working on, and I thought I would share a few insights into “some” of the ways I get a handle on a setting.

You see, it is very important to me that I make the reader feel like they’re actually living the book they’re reading. Or, at a minimum, I hope they can clearly picture the surroundings of a scene as if they’re visiting the place…

3 Tips for Creating a Productive Writing Routine

3 Tips for Creating a Productive Writing Routine

I’m often asked about my writing routine or what a day in my life looks like.   I’ve come to realize that I don’t have a typical routine, and every single day is different from the last. Part of that is because I’m an indie author who does so much more than the actual writing of the books. I format, I manage cover design, I market, I talk with readers on social media, I schedule promotions, I…

My Thoughts on It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

I was reminded by one of my lovely readers yesterday inside Sunserious Readers that I never posted my thoughts on It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover.

That’s because I was WRECKED after I finished that audio book. W-R-E-C-K-E-D! In a good way, of course. Colleen Hoover has a way of making you feel so deeply about characters that you want to hug these new imaginary friends. I was so emotional after…

I Don’t Make New Years’ Resolutions, But I Do Set Big Goals

So, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my hopes, dreams, and goals for 2018.

As we talked about at the end of 2017, I plan to do a lot more “talking” on the blog in 2018 in hopes that you’ll jump in and share your stories with me along the way.

Desired in Darkness - An Excerpt

Desired in Darkness – An Excerpt

Chapter 1 Romeo

  Killing would come easy this time.

I tracked my target through the scope as he entered his Ashton Heights apartment. My mark and his wife occupied the first floor of a duplex, and I had a perfect view into his living room. He set his keys on a small table, shed his jacket—revealing the Glock that rested in a holster on his right side—then walked over, leaned down, and kissed his…
