Susan Kearney used to set herself on fire four times a day. Now a "USA TODAY" bestselling author, she does something really hot--she writes romance. She can apply the old rule of "write what you know" and never run out of ideas for characters and plots. An All-American and professional diver, expert in martial arts, sailor, real estate broker and owner of a barter business as well as women's fitness and three hair salons, she has enough material for a lifetime. Kearney, a native of New Jersey, writes full time. She resides in a suburb of Tampa--with her husband, kids and Boston Terrier.
