Susan McDuffie

Susan McDuffie has been a lifelong fan of historical fiction and mysteries. As a child, Susan spent such vast amounts of time reading historical fiction that she often wondered if she was born in the wrong century. As an adult, her discovery that Clorox was not marketed prior to 1922 reconciled her to life in this era. Still, the pull of the past was strong, so Susan turned to writing as a way to connect with and reimagine history.


       When not writing or traveling, Susan enjoys gardening and taking flamenco classes in New Mexico, where she has lived since 1982. She worked for 25 years as an occupational therapist with the Santa Fe Public Schools, and retired in 2007. Susan shares her life with a Cochiti Pueblo fetish carver and four rambunctious cats.
