⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐   
"Omg! I downloaded Best Seller and started reading and reading and reading. It’s 6:36 am and I’m annoyed that I am done." Michelle Hummer-Kindig 

From Susan May, the international best selling author readers are calling the new Stephen King, comes a dark and twisted tale of jealousy, revenge and a unique and extraordinary power.  

About "BEST SELLER"

Ten-year-old Nem has just witnessed a terrible violence and her life appears destined for tragedy. Until, that is, she finds her mother‘s old green journal which holds an incredible secret. She discovers it has the power to control others’ luck. The diary keeps a strange kind of karmic balance though. In gifting someone luck, she must steal someone else's first. All it takes is a simple entry.

 

Decades later, the literary world hails William Barnes’ debut novel as a masterpiece. His best seller success though doesn’t survive his next two books, while his protégé Orelia Mason enjoys a crazy meteoric rise. This success of hers appearing to coincide suspiciously with his fall from grace.  

So, William embarks on a plan to take back the life he’s certain she has somehow stolen, and if people get hurt along the way, well, tough luck. What he'll discover though is that battling fate when luck is not on your side can be a dangerous game.

 

This is A Star is Born meets The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the consequences are not pretty. In fact, they’re darn well scary.

Meet Susan May

unnamed (1).jpg

Susan May's writing style and story concepts have been likened by her army of fans to Stephen King and early Dean Koontz. She's sold more than 250,000 books, worldwide

 

She  was four when the idea of writing stories settled upon her.  Yes, she was an odd kid jotting down tales in her lunch breaks instead of playing ball. In her twenties, though,  life-gets-in-the-way-osis side-tracked her from her first love. Cured in 2010, she spends her days now creating page-turning stories in the genres she loves to read: horror, science fiction, thriller and suspense, including the occasional psychopath. Well, a lot of psychopaths, actually. 

 

She's also a short story fan and has written dozens of stories and novellas, many published award winners in Australia, U.S.A., and UK.

 

Most days Susan May is your average soccer mom and wife enjoying life in Perth, Western Australia with her husband and two sons, where the neighbors have no idea some may have slipped into the crevices of her dark imagination. As Susan often remarks, "Life is good, unless you're one of my characters. Then you're in trouble. Big, scary trouble."
