New... I now have a blog: The Sue Box

Welcome.

I write paranormal romance for HQN. I've been reading science fiction and fantasy since my fifth grade teacher read Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle In Time to our class. From that moment, I was hooked on science fiction and fantasy.

Since 1994 I've also written romance novels for Bantam and Berkley. All my romance novels have a strong fantasy element. Drama and strong, deep personal relationships are a hallmark of my work.

I Now Have A Blog...

The Sue Box is now open. I hope to make frequent blog entries on topics of interest to me, depending on how much time I'm able to steal away from finishing my current book. You will not, however, see me mention or discuss politics or religion. I am happy to take questions about my books at any time.
