BIO
Occasional bouts of insomnia led to Susan Vaughan's writing career. When she couldn't sleep, she made up stories to fill the long, dark nights. Her favorite books have always been mysteries and romances, so the mix in romantic suspense was a natural. Her stories throw the hero and heroine together under extraordinary circumstances and pit them against a clever villain. She's the author of 16 romantic suspense novels and two children's books.

Besides curling up with a good book, Susan enjoys walking her dog, boating, traveling, and gardening.​ A former teacher, she is a West Virginia native, but she and her husband have lived in Maine for many years. Originally published with Harlequin, her books are now published by The Wild Rose Press.
​

• Her first teaching job was in a coal mining town in West Virginia.
• She once worked selling tickets to rides at an amusement park.
• All her dogs have been rescues, two from a shelter.
• Heights make her dizzy and she panics.​

FUN STUFF - EXPLORING, SHARING, BOOK EVENTS, ETC.

Some pictures from this summer. My dog Ruby relaxing in "her" chair.  She just turned 13 and loves that chair. Next are dwarf sunflowers in my garden. Very fluffy and cute, absolutely dwarfed by the giant ones beside it. Last is yours truly at the Maine Authors Book Festival with both my children's books and Ringo the parrot from Stowaways: a Maine Pirate Tale. Ringo was shy and wouldn't turn around. You can't see the full banner with my new children's book, Stowaways, at the bottom, oh well. It was a fun day with lots of people and interest in my and everyone's books!
