The BryonySeries' first TurnAbout Tour continues today with Sue Mydliak.
What is a TurnAbout Tour?
Well, it's something I made up, as my "thank you" to the writers who graciously and generously hosted the BryonySeries on their blogs last month.
During the Mondays and Tuesdays in June, I'm sharing links to three pieces I especially liked by these writers, giving them additional exposure without them have to write additional pieces. We're on stop No. three today, so if you missed the first two, please scroll back and catch up.
Today's stop: fellow vampire writer Sue Mydliak.
According to her blog, Sue Mydliak was born in Flint, Michigan. She came to Illinois when she was a little girl and graduated from Downers Grove South.
It wasn't until the book Twilight came out did she develop her interest in writing. She published her first book, Birthright, 2011, which led to Sue developing the story into a trilogy.
She has written two other books, Night Games and an anniversary book, Forever, which is Birthright's story, but whose story line is different and geared more for adults. She is currently writing two other books, Eternal and Secrets and has finished illustrating a new children's book, JellyBean Turns Three (see her children's book website, http://susiebbooks.strikingly.com/)
Not mentioned on Mydliak's blog are anthologies and her hilarious southern shorts, which Sue recently released.
Sue is also a poet, and it's three of her poems I'm sharing with you today. What I like best about Sue's poetry are her great, slight of hand, O. Henry-type surprise endings.
Alone
A bleak poem that takes the reader to a place the words don't suggest.

My Days Woe
The last line will stay with you. It has with me.

Wickedness
One wouldn't think a poem with this title ends on a positive, triumphant note.
But it does.
