SUSAN WIGGS
's life is all about family, friends . . . and fiction. She lives at the water's edge on an island in Puget Sound, and in good weather she commutes to her writers' group in a 21-Âfoot motorboat. She's been featured in the national media, including NPR and
USA Today
, and is a popular speaker locally, nationally, internationally, and on the high seas.
From the very start, her writings have illuminated the everyday dramas of ordinary Âpeople. Her books celebrate the power of love, the timeless bonds of family, and the fascinating nuances of human nature. Today, she is an internationally bestselling, award-Âwinning author, with millions of copies of her books in print in numerous countries and languages. According to
Publishers Weekly
, Wiggs writes with “refreshingly honest emotion,” and the
Salem Statesman Journal
adds that she is “one of our best observers of stories of the heart [who] knows how to capture emotion on virtually every page of every book.”
Booklist
characterizes her books as “real and true and unforgettable.”
Her novels have appeared in the #1 spot on the
New York Times
Bestseller List, and have captured readers' hearts around the globe. She is a three-Âtime winner of the RITA Award, the highest honor for a work of romantic fiction. Her recent novel,
The Apple Orchard
, is currently being made into a film.
The author is a former teacher, a Harvard graduate, an avid hiker, an amateur photographer, a good skier, and terrible golfer, yet her favorite form of exercise is curling up with a good book.
