About the Book: Snail's Pace is a space opera/ comedy of manners about Susannah, a Victorian woman who finds herself governess to an alien on a spaceship. Susannah did not expect this, and her intrepid British spirit and sense of superiority are severely tested by the experience of being employed by creatures who look like giant snails -- particularly when they actually crawl on the dining table to eat their meal. Susannah's hubris and naivete get her into trouble, and ultimately, it is only her slimy student who can save her -- just as she is the only one who can save them.

About the Beverage: Susan recommends pairing her novel with tea because “Susannah is a Victorian after all -- but it should be Good Earth Sweet and Spicy with just a dash of rum. It should be sweet and spicy because Susannah is, too -- and the rum as a tribute to her recently deceased ship's captain father. The dragon teapot is to acknowledge Water Dragon Publishing for finally giving Susannah her chance to be known!”

About the Author: Susan McDonough-Wachtman is a senior citizen and grandmother who has been writing all of her life. “Well written,” “quirky sense of humor,” and “doesn’t fit a genre” is what editors and agents have been telling her for fifty years. Nevertheless, she persisted. Susan lives in the Pacific Northwest, currently with one cat and one husband. Snail’s Pace is published by Water Dragon Publishing.

SNAIL’S PACE is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop in paperback and hardcover and in Digital Editions from Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, Nook, Smashwords, and Google Play.
