She has had a varied and wild career path which has ranged from spending her days reading and classifying crime files for statistical analysis, to selling stuffed orcas to tourists. Should the world end, she plans on surviving as the comedic, spunky sidekick to the heroes of the new world, since she is too damned short and out of shape to make it all on her own for very long. She has jumped out of some perfectly good airplanes on purpose and swum with sharks accidentally on the Great Barrier Reef. She lives on the Canadian west coast surrounded by dear family, good friends, and open water. If that doesn’t work, she’ll get back to the writing, even if every word’s a struggle. Sometimes it’s as easy as getting a good night’s sleep or just walking away from her story for a little bit as her brain works through what it was that went wrong. Writers block for Susan typically means that she has made some misstep in her manuscript somewhere and the story’s stopped flowing. Writing is her joy, her escape from reality, and the only way that she knows of to quiet the nagging harridan of a muse that the universe has assigned to her. Susan Hayes is USA Today Bestselling author of award winning Sci-Fi and Paranormal Romance, and is addicted to the written word.
