Susan L. Paré Author

Hi, I'm Susan Paré and welcome to my website. I started writing mystery novels in 2015 at the age of 76. I now have 24 novels and 1 short story published on Amazon. My books are easy reading and fun. I love to leave my readers saying, "I didn't see that coming" and a lot - really, a lot - of them do just that. My books are listed below. Check out my reviews - I'm proud to say that the majority of them are 5 star reviews. I'd love it if you'd subscribe to my readers' list (you can do that at bottom of page) or contact me with your questions and comments.

The main goal of writing a book is to give the reader enjoyment. The main reason to leave a review is to say thank you to the author. It takes months or years to write a book and only a few minutes to leave a review. Please thank the author.

     In 2014, I wrote a short book for my family about growing up in the ‘40s and ‘50s, called “Blueberries and Bears and my Brother’s Shoes.” I wanted my boys to know what life was like when I was growing up. My family enjoyed it and encouraged me to continue writing. I didn’t need much encouragement. I had the writing bug.                    So, I decided to try my hand at writing fiction. Although a little concerned about not having a formal education in writing, I gave it a go. And, a new career was born.                                     

The Sheriff "Cowboy" Berkson Mystery Trilogy

New - Now Available

   1954  - Deep in the woods, sheltered away in a convent, a young girl, about to give birth, screams in pain but receives no sympathy. Too many years have passed, and too many wayward girls have come through their doors for the nuns to care any longer.                            1994 - Monica cries out in pain as her husband’s fist slams into her face, and she drops to the floor.                                        Hope answers her front door, and a shot rings out, barely missing her head.                                                                        Monica didn’t go to work today. She’s soaking in the tub, trying to ease the pain from her battered body.                        Hope isn’t having a good day. Someone just tried to kill her, and she’s almost sure she knows who it was.             This is a story about sisters - unaware that the other exists – in toxic marriages - alone – afraid - and feeling helpless. Until, that is - one day, they meet, and a plan is born. ..
