We did this in front of a live audience, which was a lot of fun. Susan is the best-selling author of 14 novels including her latest, <em>It Takes One to Know One</em>. Her literary accomplishments are beyond impressive! Her novels have been turned into movies with huge stars, she has reviewed books for the largest newspapers in the country, been a political speechwriter, senior magazine editor, recipient of a number of awards, and is the chairperson of Poets & Writers. I loved talking to Susan about combining research and empathy to create captivating narratives, getting to \"live\" a life other than your own through creating characters on the page, and the irreplaceable pleasure of picking up a book.</p>","author_name":"Zibby Owens"}
