About the Author

Susan Carol Cute was born in 1952. She obtained a Degree in English with complementary studies in History in the University of Indiana. She assures to have the sensation of having lived with a foot in the past, and remembers better the genealogy of the Kings of England than the name of her state's current governor. She resides together with her two teenagers daughters and two elderly cats in Rock Island, in the state of Illinois.

Susan was always encouraged to dream by her mother, Sally. She managed to sell her first romance novel in 1986. She used three different pen names to sign her novels: Susan Carroll (the only that she uses today), Susan Coppula (her married name), and Serena Richards (her daughter's name). She obtained three times the RITA Award.
