Suzanne's bio
New York Times and USA Today best-selling
author Suzanne Forster is living proof of Shakespeare’s
maxim that the uses of adversity are sweet. Suzanne’s
writing career began by accident. Literally. A car accident
ended her dreams for a career in clinical psychology. During
her recovery, she began writing to fill the hours, and before
she was well enough to return to graduate school, she’d
sold her first book and launched a new career.
Since then Suzanne has written more than thirty novels and
been the recipient of countless awards, including The National
Readers’ Choice Award for Shameless,
her mainstream debut. She’s received recognition for
outstanding sales from Waldenbooks and Bookrak, and her recent
novel, Unfinished Business,
was made into a movie for the Oxygen Network.
Suzanne has a Master’s Degree in Writing Popular Fiction,
and she teaches and lectures frequently. Her seminars on Women's
Contemporary Fiction at UCLA and UC Riverside were rated outstanding,
and her most requested workshop, "The
High-Concept Synopsis," is based on personal experience.
Her breakout novel, Shameless,
sold on a synopsis that triggered a bidding war and garnered
her a six-figure contract.
Suzanne has received considerable media attention, including
a feature segment on Extra, NBC's news and entertainment magazine,
and an Emmy Award–winning "Special
Report" on CBS Channel 23 News. Her many print appearances include the L.A.
Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Redbook and Orange
Coast Magazine
