This recap #cclivechat on Friday the 13th is a keeper! It was perfect to have a Bad Luck Detective as my guest! It is also special because it is illustrated by @McVladie who has been sending me pictures all week …. to set the mood!
Suzie described her books, being a cop, when she knew that she wanted to become a cop, the adventures of midnight writing, and her future as a cop all in a dazzling hour that past with unbelievable speed. Many tuned in and posed great questions! Some wondered about acting out her characters to get the right feel for the descriptions, some wondered about the position of women in Law Enforcement, and some wanted to know … well, everything!
Everyone knows her blog “Bad Luck Detective” right? If not, you are really missing something. One of my favourite posts is her creative use of ice tea glasses. But that is not all. Suzie writes about vampires under a different name.
The World of Fang Chronicles is quite different from the Bad Luck Productions but that is the beauty of it. Suzie is a skilled and divers author whose portfolio cannot be pinned down under just one label. Just look at this: she has the USA split up in Fang Clans!
“Vampires, werewolves, ghosts, zombies, angels and demons, I read them all. I’ve wanted to write a vampire/werewolf novel for a long time. Taking a break from another series (aka Suzie Ivy The Bad Luck Detective), I decided to write the story screaming inside my head.”
There are a few new books in the making and I cannot wait to read those. If you have any questions for Suzie, please post them in the comment box below this recap and I will alert her that she has mail.
My guest for next week’s #cclivechat is Ian Rivers who continues his sessions on cyber-bullying.
The schedule with all my guests is posted on my blog’s home page. #cclivechat is always on Fridays and always from noon-1pm EST. If a Friday is not listed on the home page it means there is no guest or no special theme for that date. The chat will then be about several updates in cold cases worldwide.
The verbatim thread is below, enjoy!
Cheers, V

Vidocq_CC | @isthisthemiddle That's the spirit! #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:02:45 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | Yes on stakeout. I wish I could say it was exciting but actually boring. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:02:53 +0000 |
msashton_writer | I made it 😉 #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:03:00 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @isthisthemiddle You just had to go there. It's a 4 hour drive to Kispy Kreme from here #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:03:32 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy Oh man, life as a cop. On that note, when did you realize you wanted to combine being a cop and an author? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:03:44 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @msashton_writer Welcome!!! #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:03:49 +0000 |

SuzieIvy | When I finally needed an outlet for all the bad things I deal with. I needed humor back in my life #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:04:52 +0000 |

isthisthemiddle | Can't eat just one Krispy Creme. Here's a writerly question. Did challenge of becoming a cop give confidence to write? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:05:20 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | Writing saved me and allowed me to continue as an officer #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:05:48 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy Did you follow any workshops/courses before you started writing? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:06:20 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @isthisthemiddle I'm laughing because I have no confidence as a writer. I'm a great story teller though. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:06:38 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @RogerGrubbs Thanks for the RT! #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:06:38 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @isthisthemiddle Excellent question! #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:06:52 +0000 |
msashton_writer | RT @SuzieIvy: Yes on stakeout. I wish I could say it was exciting but actually boring. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:07:08 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC I studied blogs. I believe they are the best writing offered today. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:07:15 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | From @Evie_G_L: So do you write humour, Suzie? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:07:29 +0000 |
KarenLynnn | #cclivechat you are a fantastic writer! | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:07:43 +0000 |
isthisthemiddle | OMG after reading the RIVETING opening of your new book, have confidence, baby! #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:08:00 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy Agreed, after blogging for two years I now feel I can attempt to write that book that has been in my head since ...! #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:08:15 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC I try. It's my favorite subject and making people laugh just plain feels good #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:08:17 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @KarenLynnn You need to speak to my editors. They make me look good and I couldn't do it without them #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:08:50 +0000 |
msashton_writer | @SuzieIvy ~ How stressful is your job? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:08:52 +0000 |
isthisthemiddle | Remind us of the title of your latest book in Fang Chronicles, correct? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:08:54 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC Please write the book, I can't wait. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:09:16 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy Agreed on that part. Have you considered writing different genres to have a diverse portfolio? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:09:28 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @msashton_writer Doing my job is not stressful. It's all the other things surrounding it. Nothing better than a good gun fight #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:10:01 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy I have started! Writing with fountain pen on paper to first really get it out of my head. Then will type, sort, etc. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:10:22 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC Yes, I admit I love vampires and write about them too. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:10:32 +0000 |
RogerGrubbs | RT @Vidocq_CC: @RogerGrubbs Thanks for the RT! #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:10:41 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @isthisthemiddle Fang Chronicles: Emily's Story out July 24 and happens to be my 51st BD #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:11:04 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | I've also started a new fiction series about a grandma assassin #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:11:59 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy For some reason, I foresee you writing scripts .... not movie but theatre. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:12:06 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC I would go nuts without my computer. I even take notes on my Iphone #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:12:29 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC That would be so much fun!!! #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:13:02 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | From Evie_G_L: @SuzieIvy I write with pen, it has flow & I find I don't delete stuff that I might need later : #cclivechat #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:13:20 +0000 |
isthisthemiddle | What are some of your favorite vampires? I like Vampire for Hire series by JR Rain among others. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:13:51 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy And where can we find that series? Grandma assassin ... love it already! #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:14:00 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC I'm impressed. I've been a techno nut my entire life and can't spell so I need spellcheck #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:14:32 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC Just started writing. Next year maybe #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:15:02 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @isthisthemiddle Ilona Andrews, my favorite #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:15:19 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy On a serious note, how do you respond to criticism from folks who do not understand why a cop would or should blog? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:16:55 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @msashton_writer No gunfights lately and we all get antsy. Adrenaline is a cop's best friend. It relieves stress big time #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:17:16 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @KarenLynnn @SuzieIvy Pls use Hashtag #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:17:20 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC I blog under another name. I don't think cops should use their own names. No professional #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:18:02 +0000 |
isthisthemiddle | I'm learning that many cops & firefighter write & blog. Are there groups or conferences related to those who do both? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:18:48 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy What if the topic of the blog is police-related such as a CSI blog? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:19:10 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC I think it helps to write about the life of being a cop but discretion is a must. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:19:12 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @isthisthemiddle I haven't found one yet but it's needed. I talk to other cops who blog but firefights, what are they? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:19:55 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy Agreed on discretion! #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:20:03 +0000 |
msashton_writer | @SuzieIvy ~ Did you know that you wanted to be a LEO from the beginning? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:20:17 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @isthisthemiddle I don't know but will RT and see if anyone responds! #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:20:24 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC If someone is writing to inform the public and not about their cases, go for it. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:20:42 +0000 |

SuzieIvy | @msashton_writer I became a police officer at the age of 45. A long lost dream that now I live. I knew at age 14 #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:21:18 +0000 |
isthisthemiddle | Sorry, firefighters. I have seen a few firefighters, more all t time who write novels & blog. Prob for stress release as cops do #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:22:02 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy How do you arrange your time to write? Your cop schedule rotates, right? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:22:03 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @isthisthemiddle I'm teasing about firefighters. I love them but don't tell other cops. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:22:12 +0000 |
isthisthemiddle | You got me. Thought it was my spelling! Ha-ha kind of like Marines and Navy. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:23:17 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC I'm a detective who fills in while officers away. My shift is never the same and I work lots of overtime. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:23:21 +0000 |

SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC I write every spare moment I have. I don't sleep well and some of my best work is at 3am #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:24:00 +0000 |

Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy Some writers make outline (story in keywords), some just start with sentence #1, some start out of order. You? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:24:13 +0000 |
KarenLynnn | @SuzieIvy #cclivechat I bet @FireMom can tell stories about being a firefighters wife. Does your hubby blog? | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:24:54 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @msashton_writer Thank you and feel free to contact me after chat. We need more females in LE and it's my personal goal #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:25:07 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy I hear you, that's when the insomnia kicks in! #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:25:09 +0000 |

SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC For fiction, I start with an idea and then start writing. It changes as I go #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:25:49 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy Do you save all drafts esp after the fiction story changes itself? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:26:36 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @KarenLynnn No and he doesn't read my blog either nor my books. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:27:08 +0000 |
KarenLynnn | “@FireMom: @KarenLynnn @SuzieIvy I can! Lots! Mine or hers?” #cclivechat both of you! | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:27:39 +0000 |
msashton_writer | @SuzieIvy ~ As a female officer did you have problems fitting in on the force? Where there issues with being respected? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:27:40 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC No. I wrote half of my new book and then trashed it and started over. 35,000 words down the drain. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:28:03 +0000 |
isthisthemiddle | Some writers don't trust filmmakers w their characters. Would you go Hollywood? Have you thought about who'd play yr characters? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:28:34 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @msashton_writer I still face those issues but I have a good support team at work. They are my friends and have my back. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:28:47 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy Can you give a brief description of the Bad Luck books you wrote and tell us about the next one? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:29:23 +0000 |
belowthesalt | @SuzieIvy you should let me read it first. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:29:26 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @isthisthemiddle Hah! I'll take the money and let them have their way. I would like a blonde bombshell to play me though 🙂 #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:29:41 +0000 |

SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC Shouldn't it be SuzTom? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:43:10 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy Who illustrated the front covers of the first two ebooks? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:43:29 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | I will demand SuzTom in the prenup #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:43:31 +0000 |
miriamsaid | @SuzieIvy Do you ever find yourself acting out your character before you write, so you know how to develp them in the book? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:43:40 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy He will never go for that! #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:43:48 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @miriamsaid It's so funny because I will wave my arm or roll on the floor to get the description correct. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:45:06 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC For my Bad Luck Books, I did. For Fang books Fantasia Frog design. She's brilliant, me not so much but price right #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:46:24 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy Did you ever start writing a book only to find the story could be turned into a series? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:47:02 +0000 |
isthisthemiddle | Do your inspirations come from any special locations? For instance, I get mine in the shower or while highway driving, lol. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:47:44 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy What writing tips do you have for aspiring writers/bloggers? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:48:01 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC I always think series because I love reading them so much. My 2 true crime books will flow 1 to the other #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:48:16 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @isthisthemiddle Always when sleeping. That twilight sleep is my most creative time and doesn't shut down. I also solve crimes #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:49:28 +0000 |
msashton_writer | @SuzieIvy ~ Are you going to continue to write books? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:49:48 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @Vidocq_CC Start a blog and keep going. Write your 1st book and finish it. Even if it never sees the light of day FINISH #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:50:26 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @msashton_writer I see 5 more years in LE and then I hope to write full time. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:51:12 +0000 |
SuzieIvy | @msashton_writer I also see myself going back to school. I'm interested in criminal psychology #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:51:47 +0000 |
isthisthemiddle | @SuzieIvy Fascinating. Do you remember ideas from sleep or need to jot writing ideas down? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:51:59 +0000 |
miriamsaid | @SuzieIvy In writing true crime, is it hard to restrict yourself from falling into a historical narrative that may bore reader? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:52:08 +0000 |
Vidocq_CC | @SuzieIvy Have you ever been to a writer's retreat? #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:52:17 +0000 |

SuzieIvy | @miriamsaid So the answer is yes. It is hard not to bore people but especially myself. #cclivechat | Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:56:38 +0000 |
