About the Author
Susan May's love affair with books began when she was in the sixth grade and made a bad grade in math on her report card. (She still doesn't like math.) Not allowed to watch TV for six weeks she filled her extra time with reading. She turned that love of reading into a passion for writing. As author Susan Carlisle, she has completed more than thirteen books for HarperCollins Harlequin imprint medical line and recently signed a six book contact. Her heroes are strong, vibrant man and the woman that love them. She has been a finalist in the Holt and the Gayle Wilson Award for Excellence contests. In 2015, Susan was honored with the Georgia Romance Writers Chapter Volunteer Award and the Nancy Knight Mentorship Award. She has supported beginning writers through one on one critiques, judged both published and unpublished contests on both the chapter and the national level. Susan has also published two nonfiction books. Her first was Nick's New Heart traditional published by Tiger Iron Press about her son's heart transplant experience. The second is a historical biography called A WWII Flight Surgeon's Story released by Pelican Publishing under the author name S. Carlisle May. Susan critiques weekly with her local writing group and spends the time she is not working on her latest book serving on a United Network for Organ Saving committee and is a member of the Congenital Heart Public Health Consortium. She has spent over twenty years speaking to groups about the importance of organ donation. Susan has presented workshops about promotion, rejection, time management, and memoir writing at national conventions as well as local conferences. When her head is not in a book or she is not enjoying time with her twin grandchildren she travels, cross-stitches or can be found watching James Bond movies.
