Susan Leigh Carlton lives near Tomball, Texas, a suburb twenty-six miles northwest of Houston. She began writing and publishing on Amazon in August 2012.
Susan observed the eighty-seventh anniversary of her birth on April 17th, 2021. She says, “I quit having birthdays because they are so depressing. Now, I have anniversaries of my birth.” Susan and her husband celebrated their fifty-fifth wedding anniversary on April 16th, 2021, the day before her eighty-seventh birthday.
She said, “One of the many pleasures I get from writing, is the email I receive from readers that have read and liked my books. I even like the letters that are critical of the writing, because it means the writer cared enough to take the time to write.

The Thornton 's

Allie and Barry Thornton set news about their daughter in a of her time zone! After a lot of investigating and documentation they find an MIT professor who can help them. This was one of the best books I have read on time travel and I recommend it! It also has no sex which I was thankful for. - Babs

Great book

I started this book because I couldn’t sleep. Well, it sure didn’t put me to sleep. Now, on to the next. I read this one first, so I’ll start with number 1.

Fabulous

Another amazing story of Thornton's and Lewis's and the wonderful story telling abilities of Susan Leigh Carlton. This story will make you laugh and cry. If you read Angie and the Farmer, you will most certainly want to read this book. Totally brings the story full circle! Ending with a big smile. Thank you!
