About this author

I've been an avid reader since I could hold a book in my hands. I enjoy words, the play of words, the origin of words and using words to say exactly what you mean (although I'm still working on this bit!). I also enjoy meeting new friends and discussing a good book.

More information about me and my work, as well as excerpts from "Murder by Yew" and "Murder by Proxy" can be found at http://www.SuzanneYoungBooks.com and at http://www.MainlyMurderPress.com



Time for a brand new year, and once again, the last 12 months seem to have disappeared much too fast.

2011 has been a wonderful year for both MURDER BY YEW and MURDER BY PROXY. For those of you who have asked, I'm hoping to release the third book in the Edna Davies series sometime during the first quarter of this coming year.

Thank you, Readers, for your support and encouragement.

I found this mystery hard to put down. The characters, the plot and the setting are neatly interwoven with a smooth writing style that is a pleasure to read. The story is complex and keeps you guessing to the end.

Stacy Juba Hey, we just had to pick a "time" for the site launch party as Goodreads requires that for invitations, but it'll be going on for several days. Anytime you're bored, pop in! The message board will be there.


message 9: by Amber

Amber I enjoy books that have suspense. I also really enjoy books if I know they are true stories. Out of all the books I have read though, its the suspense that has kept me floored. The book that I'm reading now has gotten predictable and I'm having a difficult time finishing it (I know its a YA book and I shouldn't judge it too hard, but there are alot of really great YA books out there)

Me, too! I look forward to it!

Hi, Beth! Yes, I hope to be at Gold this year. Looking forward to swapping stories with you--on Goodreads and elsewhere!

Beth Hi Suzanne,
I thought your name & photo looked familiar! Yes, To Hell in a Handbasket is also a Five Star release. I also have a new series contract with Midnight Ink, the first of which, Deadly Currents, will come out next March. I'll be at Colorado Gold this fall. Will you?

Then that's doubly nice, Amber! Nice to be your book friend and an author, as well! We'll have lots to talk about, I'm sure. Hope you enjoy my story and I'll look forward to discussing it with you, if you'd like.
