Susan Peek writing as Suzanne Rossi

Suzanne was born and raised in Indiana, but has had the pleasure of living in several states during her adult life. She attended Ball State University where she majored in History, and confesses to being the only student in the dorm that actually enjoyed writing term papers. She has two grown sons and is blessed with five grandchildren, three boys and two girls.

Currently, Suzanne and her husband live in Ft. Lauderdale, taking advantage of year round warm weather, the beach, and sailing. She’s been a serious writer for six years and is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Romance Writers of America, River City Romance Writers, and Florida Romance Writers, where she sat on the board and co-chaired the 2007 Fun in the Sun Conference. Suzanne loves to read almost as much as she loves writing and can’t wait to share her fantasies with readers.

Her first novel, Along Came Quinn, is scheduled for release in January 2010. Her second book, All In The Family, has a release date of July 2, 2010. The sequel to Along Came Quinn, A Tangled Web will be coming soon, and she recently signed a contract for a fourth novel entitled Nearly Departed. All are through The Wild Rose Press.
