Susan Crosby
Newest Release
Susan Crosby believes in the value of setting goals, but also in the magic of making wishes. Ascribing to the theory that the "harder you work, the luckier you get," she has been fortunate enough to receive Romantic Times Magazine's Reviewers' Choice Award for Best Silhouette Desire of the Year, as well as being a finalist for the Romantic Writers of America RITA Award. Her books appear regularly on the bestseller lists.
Susan earned a B.A. in English while raising her sons, now grown. She and her husband live in the central valley of California, the land of winegrapes, asparagus, and almonds. Her checkered past includes jobs as a synchronized swimming instructor, personnel interviewer at a toy factory and trucking company manager, but her current occupation as writer is he all-time favorite.
