![]() ![]() Let’s talk about a genre whose appeal will never die. “I don’t care what people say – Romantic Suspense is here to stay.” Can this kid belt out a tune, or what? Okay, I know it’s supposed to be ‘rock ‘n roll is here to stay’, but let’s not get sidetracked by my inability to keep one little dynamite quote straight. But, most of all, I wanted to know what attracted her to the sub-genre, and how she makes her books sizzle. I asked if there was a ratio between romance and suspense that was a general rule or something she adhered to. I wanted to know if she could address the fact that editors are now telling authors not to send them romantic suspense novels as the market is glutted. I asked Susan to talk about the books she writes – romantic suspense. We both enjoyed the irony of two women who write using terminology such as “thingamabob” and “dohicky” (it’s a woman thing, don’t you think?), and then got down to business. I wrote to her, reintroducing myself, and we traded e-mails back and forth about my calling card still being in her caddy “thingamabob”. I had briefly met her at the national RWA conference in Dallas in 1996, and looked forward to getting to know her further. ![]() When Susan Andersen recently joined Aarlist, I was thrilled. ![]()
