Susan is also the author of the Maggie Dove mystery series and the novel, The Fiction Class, which won a Washington Irving Award from the Westchester Library Association.
Susan teaches novel-writing at Gotham Writers and she’s also on the faculty of the New York Pitch Conference.

She has three grandchildren, and they are her treasures (though she loves her three children and their partners as well.)
