About Susan
 Susan Squires grew
up among the giant redwoods of California. She thought she was being practical
by changing her major in college from theater to English literature. But, immersed
in a PhD. Program, she slowly realized that none of her graduating friends had
work. So she dropped out to take an actual paying job in the business world. UCLA
gave her a Master's degree as a consolation prize.
But the lure of writing
was too bad to resist for long. Now an executive in a Fortune 500 company, one
of her many mid-life crises resulted in a return to her love of writing. Her novel,
Danegeld, had already been purchased
by Dorchester by the time she accepted a Golden Heart for Best Unpublished Manuscript
from Romance Writers of America. Part of a five book contract, it was the first
of an eclectic group of historical and contemporary paranormal stories known for
intensity and failing to follow the rules. Body
Electric was named by Publisher's Weekly one of the ten most influential
paperbacks of 2002, for blending romance, science-fiction and thrillers. Book
List compared No More Lies to the
works of Robin Cook and Michael Crichton rather than to other romances, but it
was also a Rita finalist for best paranormal romance by Romance Writers of America.
Susan still uses tales of romance and adventure to escape budgets and
projects. She now writes for St. Martin's Press. The first of three sensuous vampire
romances set in the Regency period will come out in May, 2005. She researches
and writes her books at the beach in Southern California, supported by two Belgian
Sheepdogs, a warmblood mare and a wonderful husband named Harry who writes occult
mysteries as H.R. Knight.  Susan is
