About this author

I am a writer, reader, lover of animals, and eater of cookies. I used to be a marine biologist, but now I write novels. And not novels about fish either, but novels about kick-butt heroines and swoon-worthy rogues (I really like swoon-worthy rogues).

I live in the Midwest with my husband and two dogs (Asimov and Princess Leia), and you can learn more about my crazy thoughts and crippling cookie-addiction on my blog or twitter.

My debut, SOMETHING STRANGE AND DEADLY is now available from HarperTeen, and you can look for sequels in 2013!

Note: I am on Goodreads to READ. So, if you want to discuss books and the joys of literature, add me as a friend!

I loved this book. Sarah Harding is easily one of my most favorite female characters. She's tough, strong, smart, and unabashedly herself. No wonder I idolized her character as a kid.

Susan Yep! The title now SOMETHING STRANGE AND DEADLY. :) I'm doing a big announcement tomorrow on my blog.

THE SPIRIT-HUNTERS was always just a working title, and I've been working with HarperCollins for a few months now to find the perfect official title. :) Finally, we settled on SOMETHING STRANGE AND DEADLY as both catchy and commercial.

Kendall Anne HI Susan! Does your book, The Spirit Hunters, have a new name now, Something Strange and Deadly? Just wondering...I was confused! =)

message 2: by Susan
