Susan Wiggs — American Author

Susan Wiggs is an American author of historical and contemporary romance novels... (wikipedia)

I lived in upstate New York until I was ten years old and we moved overseas. I have a lot of nostalgic memories of that part of the world, and I love going back there by writing the Lakeshore books.
I never felt I was incapable of succeeding because I felt confident I could always learn what I needed to know.
I've always loved writing emotionally rich, character-driven novels that explore the way people fall in love and deal with life's triumphs and tragedies. I enjoy writing the contemporary and historical books equally, though perhaps 'enjoy' is the wrong word.
Tell the story that's in your heart, and don't hold back. Write a book the reader will want to melt into.
Talent is required, but much of writing is a matter of craft, which develops with time, attention, patience and practice, like playing an instrument or learning to dance.
