A Short Biography of Susan Bartlett

Who am I?

I'm a former romance author trying to get back into the swing of things. I'm married, and have a wonderful daughter. My old romances were written back in my naive youth. By today's standards, I guess you could call them "Scooby Doo" Romance/Mysteries. My biggest seller was "Curse of the Mummy's Tomb".

The basic plot was: A young female American archaeologist is working at an Egyptian dig. She has a "crush" on the Assistant to the Senior American Archaeologist, until a mysterious stranger, in the form of an Egyptian liaison, comes into her life. After discovering an unusual artifact in an old tomb, mysterious things begin happening in the camp. Many clues point to a Mummy's curse that has overtaken the party. Events indicate that a real Mummy may be stalking the crew. This causes our heroine to seek solace in the arms of the liaison. After the death of the senior archaeologist, the party eventually tracks down the real cause of the events - an Egyptian man who wants the artifacts to remain in Egypt instead of being placed in an American museum. She uses these events to help her decide that she does not want to spend the rest of her life in Egypt with the liaison - just in time for the Assistant to propose to her due to his advancement into the (now deceased) Senior Archaeologist's position.

I want to start writing again - and heavily revise my old stories. I couldn't tell the types of stories I wanted to tell when I was originally writing. I wanted to have real Mummies, and real ghosts, and real monsters. Now, with the popularity of the new Gothic Horror Romance, I can write the stories I want. My daughter is grown now and I have lots of time on my hands. You will hear from me again.

By the way, if you find any of my old romances on the shelf anywhere, let me know. I lost my only copies during a move and have none of my old books to go by.
