The In His Eyes Anthology with sixteen romantic short stories by Indelibles authors is HERE!
The anthology includes my short story prequel to Open Minds, called Mind Games:
Raf, a regular mindreader, is in love with Kira, the only girl in school who can’t read minds. Raf struggles to keep his thoughts about her private, but secrets are something that only zeros like Kira can keep. As he works up the nerve to ask Kira to the mindware Games, his friends have other games in mind for him.
If you’ve read Open Minds … and want more Raf & Kira, this short romantic story from Raf’s POV is just the thing to snuggle up to for Valentine’s Day.
If you haven’t read Open Minds … there are no spoilers in Mind Games, and it will hopefully lead you straight to wanting to learn more about Raf, Kira, and their mindreading world. 🙂
As promised, here’s a PEEK inside Mind Games:
Every time I see her, she
surprises me.
Not in a charming or
tantalizing way, although there’s no question she captivates me. She surprises
me because there’s no whisper warning of her presence like with everyone else
in Warren Township High, where the dull roar of thoughts from the throng of
students in the hallway practically drowns out my own. Sometimes she’ll appear
by my side without warning. Or like today, I catch a glimpse of her retreating
down the hall. But I never hear her thoughts first. Even if she and I were the
only two people in the entire school, I still wouldn’t be able to read her
mind. And she can’t read mine either.
And that’s exactly the problem.
In His Eyes is FREE at Smashwords, $0.99 on Amazon (hopefully FREE soon), and $0.99 on Barnes&Noble. If you’re not familiar with Smashwords, they have formats for Kindle, Nook, and just about every device.

Here’s wishing everyone a very romantic Valentine’s Day – in fiction and real life!
Can't wait to read them all!
Reasons like this are why I'm so glad I got a Kindle for Christmas! I have to say I'm not the most romantic person, but I love the idea that these stories are from the guy's point of view. I will be purchasing this one!! Way to go, ladies!
Oh, look at all those great authors! And free on Smashwords? Yay!
Yay! I've been (impatiently) waiting for this puppy to come out. I am off to get it right now!!! 🙂
I got it! I got it! 🙂
Happy Valentine's Day indeed. Thanks for sharing. I'm excited to read more from you!
great cover..love to grab a copy of the book.
Thanks Jeremy! 🙂
I'm on chapter 12 of Open Minds right now, so this little excerpt from Mind Games is tantalizing! I think it's Raf speaking, because Simon isn't a reader, either. But you would have to be sly about telling us who it is!
I think you guys could be taking over the world.
I would make a great Cabinet Member. Just sayin'.
You would! I'll put you in for a nomination, once we accomplish that World Domination thing. Which comes right after afternoon naps, I believe. 🙂
Hi, Susan. I just put up a blog spotlighting two bloggers, and you're one of them. I spotlighted the anthology, and also your novel – if you have a few minutes to drop by!
Ann Best, Author of In the Mirror & Other Memoirs
Thanks so much Ann!
So excited about the release!
Me too! Thanks for stopping by, Heather!
hi Susan, Stopping over from Ann Best's blog, where she highlighted us both. Your books sound terrific! I'm putting on my mindreader-blocker helmet now 🙂
Thanks for stopping over! I have your Christmas book on my TBR as well! If you pick up the anthology (it’s free) you will definitely need that mind-blocker helmet!
Just bought my copy, Susan! I'm really looking forward to reading your story. It's so nice to have so many of my online friends together in one collection. 🙂
Yay! Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy it – I certainly had fun writing Raf’s POV!
Very cool, Sue! I wish I had an ereader when I hear about this kind of stuff. Congratulations on another publication. 🙂
