Allusive Aftershock: A Young Adult Novel about friendship, betrayal, and love.

Written by Susan Griscom

Narrated by Rachel Jacobs and John York

What happens when a major earthquake changes your entire world, and the boy you thought you hated ends up saving your life? Three times!

Courtland Reese is the guy everyone hates and makes fun of because … well, he is weird. He communicates with animals. Strange or interesting, I can’t quite figure out, but when he saves me from being trampled by my horse, I start to understand him a little better, and maybe I'd like to get to know him better.

But, Max—my best friend/dream guy/someday-to-be-my-husband-only-he-doesn’t-know-it-yet—hates Courtland with a passion. I want to know why except neither one of them wants to talk about it.

When Max leaves me stranded in his parents' wine cave with his worst enemy, Courtland, after what the experts are calling a “megathrust” earthquake, I begin to question my loyalty to Max as steamy kisses in a dark, damp cellar only fuel my emotions with more conflict.

But do I really have time to worry about that when fire, destruction, and mayhem surround me?

About Susan Griscom I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania, spending most of my time daydreaming or playing around in the mud. I grew out of the mud play, well, most of the time, a good soak in the mud is always fun. I still daydream often and sometimes my daydreams interrupt my daydreams. So I write to remember them. If I didn't write, I think my mind would explode from an overload of fantasy and weirdness. To the annoyance of my friends and family, my characters sometimes become a part of my world. During my childhood, I would frequently get in trouble in school for daydreaming. Eventually, my vivid imagination paid off and I had the privilege of writing and co-directing my sixth-grade class play--a dreadful disaster, though not from my writing, of course. I'm pretty sure it was the acting. I enjoy writing about characters living in small quaint towns and tend to lean toward the unusual and edgy. My paranormal playing field delves into a different milieu, abandoning vampires and werewolves, but not discounting them. Someday I might like to write a novel about vamps and those furry creatures. But for now I like the bizarre mixed with romance. A strong hero or heroine confronted with extraordinary forces of nature, powers and capabilities gets my blood running hot, as does a steamy contemporary romantic suspense.
