Call Me Irresistible by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Both books were written under her real name, and she admitted that writing alone was not as much fun as with her friend. She finally had two more books published in the historical romance genre.Risen Glory, and Just Imagine.

Susan's friend moved away, so she had to now learn how to write alone. In 1983 the first book was finished, entitled The Copeland Bride under a pseudonym Justine Cole. Again, Susan says she was lucky that the publishers were scouting for more books for the hot book market. She remembers thinking.just like that, we were published. Three weeks later, the editor from Dell called them to say they liked it, and made them a monetary offer. They had no idea what a synopsis even was! They managed to put together what Dell had requested. She also wanted to see a synopsis along with the manuscript. To their surprise, the editor agreed to review what they had written. They had a phone number of a Dell Publishing editor, so they called to inquire whether they would review their manuscript to see if they had any chance of publication. After a few miserable failures, they finally put half of a book together. On a lark, they decided to try to write their own book. They spent much of their time reading books and discussing them afterward. She and her husband and kids moved from Ohio to New Jersey, where her best friend lived two doors down. She says that her writing career came by accident. Susan says today they have bonus children in their boys spouses, and four grandchildren. After two years they started a family, which eventually grew to two children. She was not even quite sure what engineers did, but she fell in love and ended up marrying him. One such meeting was on a blind date with a college engineering student.

She had many haphazard meetings and lucky breaks. This happened to Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Sometimes becoming an author is quite a surprise.
