edit data

A self-described late bloomer, Susan Sands began writing on her fortieth birthday. Her first Southern women’s fiction title, Again, Alabama, was published a mere eight years later.

Susan enjoys cooking, painting--when the mood strikes, playing tennis, and staring into space while contemplating her next novel.

Growing up in small-town Louisiana, Susan's passion for reading sparked her interest in writing—eventually. She now creates stories about the quirky characters and fascinating relationships that are uniquely Southern.

Susan holds a degree in elementary education, and has lived in the Roswell/Alpharetta suburb of Atlanta with her husband. Susan has three grown children. ...more

Her Missing Pieces

I’m so excited for you to read my newest Southern novel, Her Missing Pieces! It’s been in the works for quite awhile and is a bit of a departure for me as an author. The story deals with some weighty topics and is less of a romantic story.

As with all of my books, it’s steeped with family, local culture, and relationships.

Showing up from the dead is best done in person…

“Sabine had such conventional views on marriage that were so deeply ingrained from her Catholic upbringing. They could take the girl out of the church but not the guilt from the girl. She’d always believed marriage was for life. Divorce was a sin. Wasn’t it?”
― Susan Sands, Forever, Alabama
