My Story Matters Planner: 2025

Dream, Plan and Do!

An all-in-one amazing planner for creatives and the career novelist/authorpreneur—someone who wants their whole life in one big book. 

Classy, streamlined, and motivational—this planner is the place to create your vision, stay motivated, ignite your writing, improve productivity, live with joy and get it all done. 

Plan for success by creating a personal vision based on your values, finding goals that fit you and your vision, organizing your time, habit-stacking, and even setting up a publishing strategy.

The My Brilliant Writing Planner has been updated to include colorized options and different sizes and bindings.

Available in 6 x 8 coil and 8.5 x 11 in hardbound and coil.

Although the monthly calendars start on Sunday, you can now choose between a Monday start and a Sunday start for your week-at-a-glance pages. Choose the Sunday start if you want a traditional look at the week. Choose a Monday start if you like to keep your weekend planning together. (There is an example in the images to what each page looks like.)

Hone your ideas and create actionable projects by breaking your goals down into quarterly tasks. Then list your tasks for each value with the monthly Priorities at a Glance. Put action to your task list with the My Goals Reflect My Values and the Let’s Make it Happen pages that incorporate not only your big projects but daily habits, menus, and exercise/life activities.

Stay motivated with the Daily Inspiration section. (If you journal elsewhere, you may want to consider the planner without the Daily Inspiration pages. Not sure what to choose? Get more information HERE.)

Analyze and plan for the next amazing month with the Monthly and Quarterly Review, and then finish your year with a Year-End Review. Let’s begin planning for 2025.

And, don’t forget the BONUS Section in the back—brainstorming and plotting sheets for two books.

Your story—the one you live and the one you create—matters.

It’s time to plan YOUR brilliant writing year.

One Last Stand: Alaska Air One Rescue Book #4

As a member of the Air One Rescue team, pilot London Brooks has built a new life–one far away from her clandestine past as an operative tasked to take down a branch of Russian terrorists. She has no desire to reenter that world or endure the grief of losing everyone she loved, including her fiancé. But the past won’t stay past.

When she finds herself falsely accused, her reputation tarnished, and her life in danger, she has no choice but to plunge back into the treacherous world she left behind. Even if she must surrender everything–and everyone–she loves in her new life.

Shep Watson will never forget the day he saved London Brooks from the avalanche that nearly killed her. He knows there is more to her story, but he’s intent on keeping her secrets.

Just when it seems she’s finally ready to let him into her heart, her past comes knocking. But he can’t bear to lose her again, which means, somehow, he’ll have to enter her world, keep up with her, and figure out a way to bring her home. But when the danger comes home to Alaska, what will it cost the Air One Rescue team?

Join bestselling author Susan May Warren in the final, thrilling journey through the majestic Alaskan wilderness and beyond, where love defies danger and second chances are won with courage and determination.
