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.
