  loves movies almost as much as she loves books, with a special place in her
  heart for anything Star Wars. She has written forty Regency novels and
  historical romances, which are regularly to be found on the _New York Times_
  bestseller list. When she is not busily working on her next book, Suzanne
  likes to contemplate interesting phenomena, like how the 3 guppies in her
  aquarium became 161 guppies in 5 months.
