Susan Rae

Susan Rae writes because she can't resist the challenge of taking the intriguing characters and storylines that pop into her head and fleshing them out into compelling manuscripts. Romantic suspense is a natural for her, because it allows her to combine a sexy, passionate love story with a gritty suspense tale--in her opinion, the best of both worlds. It also lets her express her appreciation for the outdoors in the settings which she recreates on the page.

freefall, Susan's second novel, takes place in Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine Forest and beautiful Door County. ICE blue returns to the busy streets of Chicago and the shores of Lake Michigan to continue the story of the DeLuca family which began in her award winning first novel, heartbeats. In TRUE blue, the third book in the DeLuca series, her characters must take a trip to Montana's majestic Glacier National Park in order to chase down a lead in a twenty-four year old murder/mystery.

Susan received her Bachelor of Arts Degree from Columbia College, Missouri with a concentration in Creative Writing. Before achieving success with her first novel, she held numerous jobs including freelance feature writer. When she is not sketching characters or working out plot problems, you might find her on the golf course working on her handicap. She also enjoys traveling around the country seeking out new settings for her novels with her husband and her new puppy, Roxie, who has all the spunk and feistiness of Susan's heroines.
