Susan Hatler is a bestselling American contemporary romance and Chick Lit author with several successful series to her name. Her novels have been translated into Italian, German, French, and Spanish. Her series of novels include the “Better Date than Never,” “Treasured Dreams,” “Kissed by the Bay,” “Do Over Date,” and “The Wedding Whisperer.” She had a normal upbringing with two parents and two siblings and asserts that she always loved telling stories from childhood. In elementary school, she was fascinated with unicorns and in high school had several teen fiction she was writing all at once. Hatler did all the usual boys, bars and the occasional studying while in college. She graduated with a BA in Philosophy minoring in Political Science from California State University Hayward. She would then take on several jobs in the insurance and legal fields but gradually began gravitating towards a writing career.

Hatler asserts that she could have written at birth if she had that ability since she always has a ton of stories marinating in her head. She writes about quirky characters having zany experiences with her characters constantly having dialogues in her head. Susan believes that her characters have something to say and she is just a conduit through which they communicate. She got into writing by reading since she was always a voracious reader. Since she read a lot of books, stories began popping into her head and she would write them down in her journal. While Hatler does write teen fiction she asserts that she loves to write whatever calls to her. This perhaps explains why she wrote a lot of teen fiction as she says that she loves the topic of discovering oneself and exploring options that lends itself to young adult fiction. Susan has also said that she loves to write for the variety, emotion and drive it provokes in her life. Writing allows her to research and be immersed in a lot of different things, which means that she never gets bored. It also provides her with an emotional outlet as she goes along and experiences what her characters go through when writing. When she is not writing she loves to read and cites the likes of Beverly Cleary’s “The Luckiest Girl,” Meg Cabot’s “Size 12 is Not Fat” and Lisa McMann’s “The Wake Trilogy,” and Stephenie Meyer’s “The Twilight” series as some of her favorite. Hatler also loves to travel, go for walks, play with pups and ski whenever there is snow. She also watches Friends, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Sex & the City on DVD.

   I printed out this booklist and went to our local library web page. They say they don’t have any of your books available in the library??????? Where are these books available? I read the first one on my NOOK, but can’t find anymore.

   Thanks,
