About Susan Wiggs

Born 1958. Susan Wiggs is an American writer, novelist and teacher.

Susan Wiggs (born May 17, 1958) is an American author of historical and contemporary romance novels.

Early years Wiggs began writing as a child, finishing her first novel, A Book About Some Bad Kids, when she was eight. She temporarily abandoned her dream of being a novelist after graduating from Harvard University, instead becoming a math teacher. She continued to read, especially reveling in romance novels. After running out of reading material one evening in 1983, she began writing again, using the working title A Book About Some Bad Adults.

Career For three years Wiggs continued to write, and in 1987 Zebra Books published her first novel, a Western historical romance named Texas Wildflower.

In 2000, Wiggs began writing single-title women's fiction stories in addition to historical romance novels. The first, The You I Never Knew, was published in 2001.

Many of her novels are connected, allowing Wiggs to revisit established characters. Her mother maintains her web page.
