Susan Arden

Diversity in fiction is a biggie for me. I love-eat-think about words, sentences and 'why' if not 'what if.' A million years ago I had the privilege of teaching wee folk. But the universe had other plans. From a window, I fell into a world filled with romance. Both real and fiction. Married the man in back of me at Starbucks after being a widow. And from tragedy decided to dance at the edge of a cliff. Leaping, I found my wings as a writer. So if you doubt dreams can come true, ask me about having the rug yanked, and how in falling you can find the courage to jump. Just got into cover art and interior book design which is a whole other fascinating world. I'm not into chocolate...I prefer brightly colored candy. Wildflowers over roses. Definitely, I adore the company of children and animals over politicians and bureaucrats. I believe in the magic of fate and destiny, if we open our hearts wider than our eyes.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida. Previously a teacher with an MS. Ed in TESOL, Susan is married and lives outside Nashville. Besides writing in partnership with her husband, they're involved in environmental engineering, have three daughters, and lots and lots of animals.

When she's not writing, she's watching Penny Dreadful, Game of Thrones, and waiting for Dark Sails to return. In the meantime, she's knitting scarves. Winter's coming!
