The winner of the (not terribly) prestigious WIFTS screenwriting award for “All I Wish,” the 2018 film she wrote and directed starring Sharon Stone, Susan Walter has recently added “novelist” to an eclectic resume that includes “failed concert violinist,” “unwatchable TV news reporter,” and “dazed mother to two teenage girls.” Groomed to be alone in a room for hours on end by a childhood spent practicing violin, writing books came naturally to Susan, and her husband is hopeful she will finally have a reason to use her computer for something more productive than watching Red Sox baseball.

A native of Boston, she suppresses her irresistible accent to avoid stink eye from sports fans across Los Angeles, where she now resides.

Susan’s first two suspense-thrillers, “Good as Dead” and “Over Her Dead Body,” were Amazon First Reads editors’ picks, and both hit number one on Audible across all categories. Her September 2023 release, “Lie by the Pool,” a suspense-thriller about a woman who stows away in a Beverly Hills pool house, was an Audible editor’s pick and debuted in the top ten. Her fourth novel, the action-thriller RUNNING COLD, about an Olympic biathlete falsely accused of murder, will be released on 10/8/24. Her fifth book, LETTERS FROM STRANGERS, is based on her shocking discovery that her father had a secret family, and certain people are going to have a lot of questions for her when that comes out in May 2025.

Because she can’t be alone with her thoughts, she also continues to write for TV and film. She has two TV pilots set up at Canadian broadcasters, and her R-rated girls trip comedy “Babymoon” is currently gunning to go into production in early 2025. Read more about Susan on her website or in her self-indulgent guest column for Talkhouse Magazine.
