Susanna Carr has read short contemporary romances since she was a schoolgirl. The heroines pursuing and getting the life they wanted intrigued her. Although romance novels were forbidden in her home, she usually took one from her twin sister's secret stash.

Susanna longed to be a romance writer, although her pursuit was slow. She was a secretary before returning to college to earn a degree in English Literature. In order to pay her student loans, she worked during the day as an analyst and wrote romantic stories at night. It took seven years and several manuscripts before she received her first acceptance.

When she isn't writing or reading a romance novel, Susanna spends her time with family and friends. She currently resides in the Seattle area. She hopes her stories will find their way in readers' keeper shelves and in her twin sister's secret stash.
