About Me:: I've written two historical novels set in fourteenth-century England: The Traitor's Wife: A Novel of the Reign of Edward II, and Hugh and Bess: A Love Story. Both will be reissued in 2009 by Sourcebooks, Inc. I'm working on a third novel set during the Wars of the Roses that features Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, and his wife, Katherine Woodville. Stop by my website for excerpts, short pieces on medieval history, and more!

At 5:34pm on January 19, 2008, Carolyn said…: Oh, mid-century. Tis a love story. :) I write what I love to read, and that's a good solid story strong on characterization and low on political goings-on. I like to imagine the lives of people living on the edge rather than in the midst of royalty, etc. Hm...more akin to Chadwick and Riley, although my writing style has been compared to E. Pargeter.... How many books have you published, and with whom, Susan? I think it's interesting that you also like Anne Tyler--you are the first enthusiast I've met. I so admire her work.

Thanks for asking me.

It's odd, but I left a message yesterday but it doesn't seem to have gotten through.

I've heard good things about your books and hope to get to them sometime soon. I love historical fiction. I got into it indirectly when a friend of mine implored me to "do something" with the diary of his ancestor, a countess in 1790s Poland. The result, many years later, was my first book.

May your year be a great one!
