Susanne is the granddaughter of historical children's author Lillie V. Albrecht. She has been quietly obsessed with the French Revolution for 25 years, since reading the Classics Illustrated version of A Tale of Two Cities. She is the author of the Aristide Ravel historical mystery series set in revolutionary Paris as well as the historical novel A Far Better Rest, a reimagining of A Tale of Two Cities.

Palace of Justice, her fourth historical novel featuring 18th-century Parisian police agent Aristide Ravel, is currently in bookstores, available worldwide wherever English-language books are sold. Susanne is currently at work on future novels in the series, as well as a standalone historical novel. Each of the Aristide Ravel novels can be read on its own, but if you're new to the series, ideally you'll read them in the following order: 1. The Cavalier of the Apocalypse (1786) 2. Palace of Justice (1793) Now in print! 3. Game of Patience (1796) 4. A Treasury of Regrets (1797)
