Winner of the 2025 RUBY Award for Women's Fiction with Romantic Elements (Romance Writers of Australia) for The Barrington Book Club.

Romance books you'll fall in love with.

Susan Mackie writes heart-warming, character-driven romance and women's fiction. Small town stories with all the feels and a community you'll want to move to.

Every person and every place has a story to tell.
Do you drive by old homes and wonder about the lives of those that built them, lived there, loved and lost?
Writers tell such stories. Sometimes real, sometimes imagined. Often both.

There's a little bit of 'me' in every story - but I do include a very sneaky little element in each story - that revolves around my real name (Mackie is my pen name) - so those who know me may pick up on this little reference.(less)

A compelling tale of an earlier civilisation, cleverly weaving the lives of the main characters together.
Pillars of the Earth (1989) remains my favourite book of all time.

Topics Mentioning This Author

“What's the worth of sadness in front of happiness?
Like a leaf that's blown away by the wind.
What's the worth of despair in front of hope?
Like a dirty stone that's thrown in a clean pond.
What's the worth of chaos in front of peace?
Like a flying kite that's string has been cut down.
What's the worth of disunion in front of the union?
Like a fish that's breathing but not in water.”
Hareem Ch, Hankering for Tranquility

Lea Davey
“Where have the years gone, Ruby Rose? Sometimes I have to stop and think about how old I am. When I wake up in the morning, before I move this tired old body or look in the blasted mirror, I swear I'm still a young man. It just feels like yesterday. I don't know how it's gone so fast.”
Lea Davey, Silkworm Secrets
