Susanna Allen writes paranormal Regency romance: Think Bridgerton + shapeshifters…

She moved to Ireland for twelve months — in 1998. Having gained a Master of Philosophy in Irish Theatre Studies from the Samuel Beckett Centre, Trinity College, she embarked on a career in theatre criticism, eventually moving into feature writing on all things cultural, as well as lifestyle-oriented subjects for major Irish titles across newsprint and magazines. 

Her first series, The Shapeshifters of the Beau Monde, earned acclaim as, variously, an Amazon Editor’s pick (A Wolf in Duke’s Clothing); number one Amazon bestseller (A Wolf in Duke’s Clothing and A Most Unusual Duke) and a Publishers Weekly starred review (A Duke at the Door).

She will soon be re-re-releasing That Magic Mischief and she’s very excited about that!

Writing as Susan Conley, she is the author of Drama Queen and The Fidelity Project, both published by Headline UK. Her memoir, Many Brave Fools: A Story of Addiction, Dysfunction, Codependency… and Horses is published by Trafalgar Square Books and recounts the growth and insights she acquired after having taken up horse riding as an adult, post-divorce.

Susan is living her life by the three Rs: reading, writing and horseback riding, and can generally be found on her sofa with her e-reader; gazing out a window and thinking about made-up people; or cantering around in circles. She loves every minute of it!
