Susan Sloate co-authored (with Kevin Finn) the 2003 #6 Amazon sci-fi/fantasy bestseller, FORWARD TO CAMELOT. The alternate history of the JFK assassination has taken honors in 3 literary competitions and was optioned by a Hollywood film company. The sequel, DYING WITH THE STARS, is a current murder mystery played out on the set of a glamorous Hollywood television show. DYING WITH THE STARS will be published in autumn 2013, as part of the 50th anniversary commemoration of JFK's assassination.
Susan's new novel, REALIZING YOU, co-authored with Ronald Doades, pioneers a new genre -- a combination personal development book paired with a fully-developed story. No self-help parable has ever gone so far in creating dimensional characters and believable situations to illustrate principles for good living. Look for REALIZING YOU in ebook and paperback this summer (2012).
