When Susan Wiggs's novel Fireside debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, the author responded by jumping into her swimming pool fully clothed, despite the freezing temperatures of February. Why?
Wiggs credits the book's popularity to her loyal readers, whose unflagging interest has steadily propelled her sales upward over her twenty-year career. From the very start, the author's stories have illuminated the everyday dramas of ordinary people. Those readers have made Wiggs an internationally bestselling author with millions of copies of her books in print in numerous countries. Her novel Table for Five has been optioned as a feature film by Zimand Entertainment. She continues to draw inspiration from her friends, family and the nuances of human nature that make the headlines every day. Susan, who holds a graduate degree from Harvard, confesses that the first romance novel she ever read was Shanna, by the late Kathleen Woodiwiss, which she devoured while slumped behind a college textbook, studying to become a math teacher. How did a math teacher become a bestselling writer? Susan says the real question is how did a writer turn to teaching math? Susan appears at writers' conferences across the country and has won three RITA® Awards. When she's not writing, Susan can likely be found hiking with her dogs, Barkis and Lenny, listening to music, seeing the world, reading books and spending time with her husband, acclaimed apparel designer Jerry Gundersen.
