WHAT IS 

ROMANCE WRITING WITH A TWIST?

A brief explanation straight from the mouth of  

Susanne Marie Knight!

Unique. Innovative. Original. Unpredictable. Out-of-the-Ordinary.

All of the above words have been used to describe my books. In fact, the title of an interview in my local paper states: Out-of-the-ordinary just right for author. Okay, I admit it, I do like things unusual... deliciously different... with a bit of a twist.  And my writing reflects this. I love to run the gamut by exploring the outer reaches of the galaxy... to savoring the subtle nuances of Regency society.  Here are just a few  reviewer comments on my Romance Writing with a Twist .
