They earned their BA from Mount Holyoke and their MS from Capella University. Their debut novel, The Black Cat Detectives, a cozy mystery featuring three kittens with the ability to bend the laws of physics who must solve a murder to save their rescuer from the human pound, is forthcoming from Crooked Lane in May 2026. Elise is a Not Quite Write Prize winner and Best-of-the-Net nominee. Their short work has appeared/is forthcoming in The Advocate, Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, The Not Quite Write Anthology 2025, The B’K, Five Minutes, Knee Brace, All Existing, and Quibble, among others.

In addition to being a proud member of Sisters Crime, Susan is also a member of International Thriller Writers and the Cape Cod Writers Center, She divides her time between Clearwater, Florida and Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and shares her life with her husband, Joe (not Jim!).
