Episode 63 is up! Here with me today is Suzy England.

Suzy England fell in love with fiction the minute she picked up her first Judy Blume book in third grade. A retired elementary educator and native Texan, she lives in Houston with her husband. She’s the proud mom of two adult children and dog mom to her Havanese, Ivy. Her books include THE WEEKEND (Silver Phoenix, 2019), PERFECT (The Wild Rose Press, 2023), LETTERS FOR LUCIEN (The Wild Rose Press, 2023) and CHASING MR. CROWN (available exclusively on global reading apps Wattpad and Yonder). When she’s not writing Romcoms and Women’s Fiction, Suzy is binge-watching British television, listening to true crime podcasts, planning her next travel adventure, or cheering for her alma-mater, The University of Texas at Austin. Suzy is thrilled to be a Tall Poppy Writer, Class of 2023.

In this episode we discussed Suzy’s most recent novel PERFECT and how it’s a story within a story, her journey from fan fiction and yahoo groups to Wattpad and becoming a novelist, and Perfect’s journey from short story to novel length. We also discussed taking risks in her career, utilizing so many different story tools as a pantser or discovery writer. We also delved into characterization!
