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.

Another great story
What a wonderful book. Jake and Julia were such great characters and their story is so believable. I totally enjoyed it Jake was a person of strong morals and honor. The bravery that he showed a couple of times in the story felt so real. Julie was also a strong person. Taking the chance of writing to family she didn’t know and adjusting to a new home the way she did shows how strong her feelings for her father was. Great book just like all of her other books.

Good book
This is a good book and not like most love stories, the characters, in it don't spend most of the book trying not to love each other. It has some adventure mixed in with it. I think you will enjoy it.

Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres. Reading Julie's Dilemma was like being there in person, experiencing life in the mid 1800s.

Very good book.
I loved the romance and good story line. You tell a good clean and interesting story about love in the nineteenth century!
