| The
Official Biography
An "army brat" (she was born in a barracks in Fort Benning)
Susan R. Matthews had an international upbringing, living and attending
school across the country and in Europe and India. After earning
an undergraduate degree in psychology she was commissioned into
the United States Army and served as the operations and security
officer of a combat support hospital, functioning in addition as
the unit's NBC (nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare) officer.
Her background in psychology and her military and medical experiences
all inform her fiction. Currently working as an auditor for The
Boeing Company and recently graduated from Seattle University with
an MBA in accounting, Susan lives in Seattle, Washington with her
partner Maggie. She likes black tea but seldom gets around to drinking
it while it's still hot.
