Susan Harris is a best-selling author from Cork, Ireland with 20 novels currently available and several in the works. Although Susan is known predominantly for her paranormal series’ (The Ever Chace Chronicles and The Sanguine Crown), she’s not afraid to mix things up with a little dystopian drama, Shakespeare reimagining, or even contemporary romance. When she’s not torturing her readers with heart-wrenching plot twists or killer cliffhangers, she’s probably getting some new book-related ink, binging her latest TV or music obsession, or has her nose in a book.
