Susan Mackie

Winner of the 2025 RUBY Award (Romantic Book of the Year) for The Barrington Book Club.

Susan Mackie writes heart-warming, character-driven romance and women's fiction. Small town stories with all the feels and a community you'll want to move to.

Since declaring her desire to write books (at the age of eight) Susan followed a zigzag path to publication via journalism, tourism and small business. Now a full time writer, editor, speaker and publishing mentor, she's finally in her Happy Place.

Susan lives in a small town, in a gorgeous old home built in the late 1800's. And yes, she has the bookshelf with ladder that she dreamed of as a child.
