I asked Susan to discuss her reasons for making such a change in her writing and discovered that for her, it was a combination of a common sense approach mixed together with a rather large leap of faith. Even when I was a young, divorced mom with three small children, I refused to give up my dream. I took risks that could only be attributed to complete and utter ignorance. And, more times than not, they paid off. I always tell others to follow their heart - it has a wonderful sense of direction.
Every woman loves romance.
But my television screenwriting career was providing a lot of satisfaction. I enjoyed being on the staff of NBC's Another World , then moved on to become a Story Editor for Romance Theater and wrote for Knot's Landing and many other shows. All of these were excellent training ground for a novelist. I made the decision to make the move to romance novels in the past year or so. You see, when you have a passion to write and the market you are in is changing rapidly, you seek out new areas in which to use your talent.
