Susan's award-winning debut novel, THE HISTORY TEACHER, pays homage to the political thrillers of the 1970s and was inspired, in part, by her fascination with the Alger Hiss case. “The story is set in the past. But it’s a tale for our times about privilege, politics and America’s place in the world,” she says. “After all, when it comes to history, all roads lead to the present.” The audiobook, released in February 2024, is now available on Audible, iTunes and Amazon. And a sequel to THE HISTORY TEACHER is slated for release in 2024. A graduate of Barnard College with a degree in history, Susan is a former journalist, an author, an award-winning copywriter and a ghost writer whose credits include an international best seller. PRAISE for THE HISTORY TEACHER "An inherently riveting suspense thriller of a novel" — MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW “fresh and eye-opening” — EMILY YELLIN, author of Our Mothers’ War “cagily and compellingly plotted and eminently credible” — BRUCE WEBER, author of Life Is a Wheel: Memoirs of a Bike-Riding Obituarist "a satisfying page-turner . . . and the ending is perhaps the most satisfying of all." — MEMPHIS FLYER “an excellent, well-crafted debut” — CURTIS WILKIE, author of The Fall of the House of Zeus
