Susan Fox

Susan Fox, born and raised near Des Moines, Iowa, is a author who has a deep connection with the American West. She grew up on a farm with her sister, Janet, and brother, Steven, where she developed a love for animals, particularly horses and stray cats. Among her many pets, Rex, a pony, was her favorite and closest companion. This upbringing in the countryside has greatly influenced her writing, which often features ranch settings and complex characters in emotionally intense situations.

Fox currently resides in a house that she affectionately calls the "Landfill and Book Repository." She shares this space with five mischievous shorthaired felines: Gabby, Buster, Pixie, Toonses, and Eddie (also known as Eduardo de Lover). These cats not only keep her company, but also inspire her writing. In addition to being an author, Fox is a self-proclaimed bookaholic and movie fan who has a particular interest in cowboys, rodeos, and the politics of the American West. She believes that storytelling and politics often intersect, and this perspective is reflected in her work.

Fox is a dedicated writer and a workaholic who takes her craft seriously. She has a unique ability to create intricate and emotionally charged characters that captivate her readers. Fox hopes that her stories not only provide enjoyment but also uplift and inspire her readers with their happy endings. Her love for the American West and her passion for storytelling shine through in her work, making her a beloved author in the ranch romance genre.
