About this author

edit data

Susan Elia MacNeal's debut novel, Mr. Churchill’s Secretary, will be published by Bantam Dell/Random House on April 3, 2012—Winston Churchill Day. The sequel, Princess Elizabeth’s Spy, will be published in the fall of 2012. She is currently under contract for, and hard at work on, books #3 and #4 in the Maggie Hope series.

Susan is married and lives with her husband, Noel MacNeal, and young son in Brooklyn.

She thinks it's extremely odd to write in the third person.

Happy V.E. Day!

Happy V.E. Day!

Our friend posted this picture of his father on V.E. Day by the Arc de Triomphe today to celebrate — he's the soldier on the far left and served under Patton.

Now his son, our friend Charles Rivkin, is revisiting the same spot today, as the U.S. Ambassador to France.
