Suzanne Forster

Suzanne Forster is living proof of Shakespeare's maxim that the uses of adversity are sweet. Her writing career began by accident. Literally. A car accident ended her dreams for a career in clinical psychology. During her recovery, she began writing to fill the hours and before she was well enough to return to graduate school, she'd sold her first book and launched a new career.

Since then Suzanne has written more than twenty novels and has been the recipient of countless awards, including The National Readers' Choice Award for SHAMELESS, her mainstream debut. Her books routinely hit top spots on the national bestseller lists, and she's received recognition from Waldenbooks and Bookrak for outstanding sales.

Suzanne teaches and lectures frequently. Her seminars on Women's Contemporary Fiction at UCLA and UC Riverside were rated outstanding, and her most requested workshop, "The High-Concept Synopsis," is based on personal experience. Her breakout novel, SHAMELESS, sold on a synopsis that triggered a bidding war and garnered her a six-figure contract.

Suzanne has received considerable media attention, including a feature segment on Extra, NBC's News and Entertainment Magazine and an Emmy Award winning "Special Report" on CBS Channel 23 News. Her many print appearances include the L.A. Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Redbook and Orange Coast Magazine.
