Susan Kaye Quinn

rivate environmental engineering firm, Susan Kaye Quinn decided to pursue her passion for writing and became a full-time author. With a PhD in environmental engineering and a background in rocket science, Quinn uses her knowledge and expertise to invent cool stuff in her books, creating a range of speculative fiction novels.

Quinn's works span across various genres, including young adult science fiction, adult future-noir, royal fantasy romance, and middle grade. Some of her most popular series include the Singularity Novel Series, the Mindjack Series, and the Royals of Dharia Series. The Singularity Novel Series, which includes "The Legacy Human," "The Duality Bridge," and "The Illusory Prophet," explores the concept of humans and artificial intelligence becoming one. The Mindjack Series, on the other hand, delves into a world where some people can control others' minds. The Royals of Dharia Series, which includes "Third Daughter," "Second Daughter," and "First Daughter," is a royal fantasy romance series.

In addition to her novels, Quinn has also written several short stories, some of which have been optioned for Virtual Reality, translated into German and French, and featured in various anthologies. She is also known for her Debt Collector series, which is a futuristic, cyberpunk series that tells the story of a debt collector who has to collect debts in a world where people's life essence can be used as currency.

Quinn writes full-time from Chicago, where she continues to dream of the Singularity and invent mind powers in her books. She is also an active member of the writing community, often participating in workshops and events to help other writers. Her website, susankayequinn.com, is a great resource for readers and writers alike, featuring a blog, a newsletter, and information about her books and upcoming projects.
