Book Junkies Interviews Presents Susan Wells Bennett

Born in 1971, I am a third-generation native Arizonan. My grandfather's family arrived here from Missouri in 1912, just after Arizona became a state. I frequently use my native region as the setting for my novels. Two of my novels, Circle City Blues and An Unassigned Life, are seriocomic. Both of them have received excellent reviews. In fact, An Unassigned Life was recently compared to Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit in a Goodreads.com review. The Thief of Todays and Tomorrows is historical fiction set in post-WWII Chicago and Phoenix. It follows the life of an unwilling mafia wife. The Prophet's Wives is contemporary dramatic fiction about a man who believes his own press a little too much. My fifth book, Forsaking the Garden, follows Irene, a fourteen-year-old girl raised by polygamists, as she explores the world that she never knew existed. Wild Life and Charmed Life, my sixth and seventh books, are also the first two books of the Brass Monkey series, which centers around a group of Baby-Boomer bar patrons. The third novel in the series, Night Life, will be released by Inknbeans Press in Spring 2012. All of my books are also available in paperback form.
