She has partnered with other authors on two short story books and has written many stories that have been published in other mainstream anthologies. Susan is active in the lesbian author community and loves to attend Women's week at Provincetown and the GCLS annual conventions. Her stories revolve around the relationships that two women can build when given a chance and how those relationships can strengthen the individual and the partnership. Her genre is lesbian romance/fiction and she believes strongly in the happy ending that we all so deserve.

From the author's website: I live in New York with my spouse, Carrie. We've lived in Chicago and Los Angeles for significant periods, but New York fits us very well. I love to discuss my work and fiction in general. My goal in writing is to explore feelings. I want to entertain, but I also want to make people think. I've heard that life is all about finding out who we are. To me, life if about finding out who other people are. I'm interested in the small details of life, that's how a story about two young women in college is slowly becoming a 26 book series. The joke in Seinfield was that it was about nothing. I feel the same about most of my books. They are about the many things that happen when nothing is happening. The small joys and sorrows of everyday life can be fascinating, especially if you care about the people involved. I try to create characters that will make a reader care deeply. I'm always interested in hearing how close I am to that goal. So please drop me a line whenever you have a comment or a question about a story. Writing is a pretty solitary pursuit and it's great to know that I'm not alone.

Watching Jamie and Ryan grow as a couple is fun and engaging. The support and challenges of family makes the read interesting enough for me to stay interested. Not liking Jamie's father very much. On the other hand really like Ryan's father. Family and sports is at the center of this read.

This is the 10th book in this series. I enjoyed it very much. In reality, I would rather read it as one huge book as each book feels more like a long chapter rather than a book in itself. I looked at the author’s website. She is writing this series as a Serial Novel. It is an Alphabet series which means that each title begins with the next letter in the alphabet. There are currently 23 in the series so there should be 3 more in the series.

Great series

I love this series. All the books have been good and I find myself caught up in the lives of these women. Start with the first book and follow the romance of the only child rich girl and the athlete from a big Irish family. Characters are rich and the plots are generally feel goods. I recommend this series.
