Suzanne Whitfield Vince

Suzanne grew up in Park Forest, Illinois—twice an All-American City—in a large and chaotic but loving family. After graduating from Loyola University of Chicago with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (major in Accounting), she said goodbye to snow shovels and ice scrapers and followed her parents out to California.

Suzanne wrote her first book by accident, but found the process so exhilarating that she has since completed several more manuscripts. In writing, she says, she has discovered her true purpose.

Currently, Suzanne lives in Sacramento with her husband, step-daughter and four furry children. She still has her day job, for now, but spends most of her free time writing.
