Vestal Virgin--will be released on Kindle
Elissa Rubria Honoria, priestess of the sacred flame, passionate and obstinate, is pitted against Nero--the Roman Emperor who believes he's a god. Attempting to save her family from Nero's machinations, Elissa discovers her power, the power of love, and her true identity. Dark suspense, romance, sex, insanity, and a lot of history. I spent about two years researching this book and visited Rome twice. Some of the characters are purely fictional, some are based on true people--including the prophet Paul, who was in Rome at that time preaching the teachings of Jesus.
I'm working on a rewrite now.

Five star review--Dating My Vibrator (and other true fiction)
That naughty girl!, August 18, 2010
Liz (Eugene, Oregon)
That Suzanne Tyrpak sure can tell a good tale. These stories are very, very good, with bittersweet sights every woman can relate to.
And yesterday, the book showed up in a Google Alert for "dating stories." So all my posting must be paying off--that one came from MobileRead Forums. I've also been posting on Kindle Board and anything else that seems related.
How is it affecting sales: bird by bird and word by word, books are selling! Yesterday I moved from somewhere around 40,000 rank on Kindle to 18,000
Thanks!

Dating Stories on Kindle--write a review!
Publishing DATING MY VIBRATOR and other true fiction on Kindle has been a great experience for me. I'm excited about what e-publishing offers writers. Of course, I will always love books, the feel of the paper, turning real pages, but e-publishing offers writers and reader immediate access to each other--and that is quite amazing.

DATING MY VIBRATOR ON KINDLE NOW
I'm happy to announce that DATING MY VIBRATOR (and other true fiction) is now available on Kindle for just $2.99
Dating My Vibrator and other true fiction is a collection of nine true and almost true short stories all based (unfortunately) on my own dating experience. After nineteen years of marriage I was thrust into a brave new world of dating: online, offline, standing in line, listening to lines. And I have survived to tell these tales. CAUTION: if you’re contemplating divorce, these stories may convince you to consider marriage counseling. If you’re out there dating, chances are you will relate. OMG! Here’s a scary thought: maybe you’ve met some of these guys. Names have been changed to protect the guilty.
