Suza Kates Author Spotlight

About this author



I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love books, but two particular memories stay with me. As a young girl I picked up Little Women, read it straight through, and promptly turned to page one to start all over again. The next book I did that with was Mind Hunter by John Douglas, tales about profiling serial killers.

Thus a twisted romantic was born.

Throughout my teenage and young adult years, I read everything from horror to historical romance, yet I never, ever thought of trying to write anything of my own. Write a whole book? Crazy talk.

Then I spent a long, cold winter in a tiny apartment in Germany. My bed was also my living room couch, and I shared it with three cats. After tearing through all the books I had that were written in English, I picked up a pen and opened a door to something I would never have expected to love.

Missing the warmth, the hospitality, and the food of the South, I wrote about those things with a huge dose of family thrown in. I still have a sweet spot in my heart for Southern Moon, but to date, I have not revisited it for submission to my publisher. Time will tell.

As a huge fan of Dan Brown and Nora Roberts, I set off to write a romantic suspense with tons of history-laden backdrops. The She Trilogy is still a work in progress, but only because it was bumped aside by a bunch of sassy witches.

I had an idea about sisters and magic and went to work on the first book of The Savannah Coven Series, Whisper of a Witch. The series is still going strong, and I am grateful every day that I took a chance on paranormal romance, a genre I wasn’t very familiar with and had never actually read before writing it. Now I’m a parajunkie.

I have since joined RWA, and I can’t say enough about this organization. The education and support are unparalleled. I want to say thank you to all of my fellow writers who have offered advice and to my fans who come back for more. 

Readers rule!

Possession of a Witch (The Savannah Coven #5)


Man She Wants to Love

Lucia Ruiz believes in love. Though the reality of it has been scarce in her life, she chooses to look to the future. To have hope. Now fate has thrown a dark, hunk of a demon hunter into her life in the form of Ethan Drake. Set to accompany her on a dangerous quest, he persists in being aloof. Reserved. And downright unsociable. 
For Lucia to succeed she must do two things. Find an ancient, magical artifact, and make a man fall in love. Truly…how hard can that be?

A Woman He Must Resist

Ethan Drake takes one look at Lucia and thinks Danger. The Spanish seductress has everything he wants and offers the one thing he fears. She sees love as a bright and shining promise, safe haven in a relentless storm. 
He knows he must destroy her hope and keep his secret safe. Ethan Drake carries a wicked curse, and for him, love can only bring death.


Deception of a Witch (The Savannah Coven #6)


Claudia Grant has officially been called to face her trial. To stand for the Savannah Coven and complete the task that has been set for her. When the antique items she touches show her more of history than she bargained for, she realizes her special talent has taken a dangerous turn. Evil thrives in the present but is also alive and well in the past.

And it's been waiting for her.

Cole Lonergan is strong-minded detective, a reliable man, and a good friend. And that's exactly where Claudia wants him to stay. In the friendship category. 

As an established bachelor, he has no problem attracting the ladies, but when Claudia's trial begins, fate keeps pushing them together. He will do anything to help the coven in their war against the Amara, but frankly, he's not looking to settle down, either. Not just yet. 

Claudia keeps telling him how absolutely, positively certain she is that they aren't meant to be together. That he is not what she wants. And if there's one thing Cole enjoys more than solving a puzzle... it's a challenge from a worthy adversary.
