"A lively and engaging Regency romance; author Susanne Saville has crafted a fresh look at the fun that can be had when a hairy matchmaker draws two unlikely protagonists together. Daniel is a hero to admire....Together with Gwenllian the sexual tension is a palpable thing, humming along through the story....To witness their falling in love is beautiful, romantic and emotional while working together to foil a traitor."
-- EcataromanceAnd about Vampire Close:
"This is a wonderfully imaginative story with intriguing characters, two romances, a bit of mystery and even some horror. The relationships that grow among the main characters are well defined, and their accents have an authentic sound. The ending leaves you longing for more."

I've been interviewed by Dog Fancy as I'm an expert on the pug's place in history.Hmmm...what else is important? I like travelling, horseback riding, and wasting bags of time on the Internet.
